531-3. Child Restraint
1
Essential Safety Equipment
If you cannot put all children in the rear seat, at least put the smallest
children in the rear and be sure the largest child up front uses the
shoulder belt over the shoulder.
NEVER put a rear-facing child-restr aint system on the front passenger
seat whether your vehicle is equi pped with a occupant classification
sensor or not.
This seat is also not set up for te thered child-restraint systems, put
them in one of the rear seat pos itions set up with tether anchors.
Likewise the LATCH child-restraint system cannot be secured in the
front passenger’s seat and should be used in the rear seat.
Do not allow anyone to sleep against the side window since your vehi-
cle has side and curtain air bags, it could cause serious injuries to an
out of position occupant. As children mo re often sleep in cars, it is bet-
ter to put them in the rear seat.
If installing the child-restraint syst em on the front seat is unavoidable,
follow these instructions when usin g a front-facing child-restraint sys-
tem in the front passenger’s seat.
● To check if your front seats have side air bags:
The vehicle equipped with side air bag will have a “SRS AIRBAG” tag on the
outboard shoulder of the front seats.
● To check if your vehicle has curtain air bags:
The vehicle equipped with curtain air bag will have an “SRS AIRBAG” mark-
ing on the window pillars along the roof edge.

1-4. SRS Air Bags
Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) Pre-
cautions
The front and side supplemental rest raint systems (SRS) include up to
6 air bags. Please verify which ki nds of air bags are equipped on your
vehicle by locating the “SRS AIRBAG” location indicators. These indi-
cators are visible in the area where the air bags are installed.
The air bags are installed in the following locations: • The steering wheel hub (driver air bag)
• The front passenger dashboard (front passenger air bag)
• The outboard sides of the front seatbacks (side air bags) (if equipped)
• The front and rear window pillars, and the roof edge along both
sides (curtain air bags) (if equipped)
The air bag supplemental restrain t systems are designed to provide
supplemental protection in certain situations so seat belts are always
important in the following ways:
Without seat belt usa ge, the air bags cannot provide adequate protec-
tion during an accident. Seat be lt usage is necessary to:
• Keep the occupant from being thrown into an inflating air bag.
• Reduce the possibility of injuries during an accident that is not designed for air bag inflation, such as rear impact.
• Reduce the possibility of injuries in frontal, near frontal or side colli-
sions or roll-over accidents that are not severe enough to activate
the air bags.
• Reduce the possibility of being thrown from your vehicle.
• Reduce the possibility of injuries to lower body and legs during an
accident because the air bags provid e no protection to these parts
of the body.
• Hold the driver in a position which allows better control of the vehi-
cle.
