Safety system of your vehicleTo reduce the chance of serious
or fatal injuries:
Children of all ages are safer when being restrained in a
rear seat. A child, seating in
front, may be forcefully struck
with an inflating air bag. This
may result in serious or fatal
injury.
Always follow the instructions of the child restraint manufac-
turer's for installation and
usage.
Always make sure that the child seat is properly secured,
and that your child is securely
restrained in the child seat.
Never hold a child in your arms or on your laps when
riding in a vehicle. The violent
impact in a crash may force
you miss the child from your
arms and the child may strike
against the vehicle interior.
Never fasten a single seat belt over you and a child. In a
crash, the belt may apply
sharp pressure on the child,
causing serious internal
injury.
Never leave a child unattend- ed in a vehicle – not even for a
short time. The vehicle is eas-
ily heated up, resulting in seri-
ous injury of a child inside.
Even very young children may
inadvertently move the vehi-
cle, entangle themselves in a
window frame, or lock them-
selves or others inside the
vehicle.
(Continued)
(Continued)
Never allow two children, orany two persons, to fasten the
same seat belt.
Children often squirm and shift their position. Never let a
child ride with the shoulder
belt under their arm or behind
their back. Always properly
seat and secure a child in a
rear seat.
Never allow a child to stand up, or kneel on a seat or a
floor mat, while the vehicle is
in motion. During a collision
or a sudden stop, the child
may be violently strike against
the vehicle interior, resulting
in serious injury.
Never use an infant carrier or a child safety seat, which
"hooks" over a seatback. It
may not provide adequate
security in an accident.
Do not operate a rear power seat, when a child seat is
installed. The power seat may
be broken.
After an accident, have an authorized EQUUS dealer
check the child restraint, seat
belt, and tether/lower
anchors.
When the space to place a child restraint is insufficient
due to the driver's seat, install
it in the right rear seat.WARNING
Noise and smoke
When the air bags inflate, they pro-
duce not only a loud noise, but also
smoke and powder inside the vehi-
cle. This is normal and is a result of
the ignition of the air bag inflator.
After the air bag inflates, you may
feel substantial discomfort, while
breathing due to the contact of your
chest with both the seat belt and the
air bag, as well as from inhaled
smoke and powder.Open your
doors and windows as soon as
possible after air bag deployment
in order to reduce your discomfort
and prevent prolonged exposure
to the smoke and powder.
Though the smoke and powder are
non-toxic, they may cause skin irrita-
tion (i.e. eyes, nose and throat). In
this case, immediately wash your
skin with cold water and consult a
doctor if the symptom persists.
Do not install a child restraint in the front passenger's seat.
Never place a rear-facing child
restraint in the front passenger’s
seat. When an air bag deploys, it
would impact the rear-facing child
restraint, causing serious or fatal
injury. In addition, do not place front-
facing child restraints in the front
passenger’s seat, either. When the
front passenger air bag inflates, it
may cause serious or fatal injury to
the child.
2-44
Safety system of your vehicle
After the air bag inflation, air-
bag related components, which
are on the steering wheel,
instrument panel, roof rails
above doors and the front seat-
backs, are very hot. To prevent
injury, do not touch those com-
ponents inside the air bag stor-
age right after air bag inflation.
WARNING
1JBH3051
Extremely Hazard! Do not place a rear-facing child
restraint in a seat protected
by an air bag!
Never install a child restraint in the front passenger’s seat.
When the front passenger air
bag inflates, it may cause seri-
ous or fatal injury.
