96)Always secure a child in a proper
child-restraint system. Holding a child in
your arms while the vehicle is moving is
extremely dangerous. No matter how
strong the person may be, he or she
cannot hold onto a child in a sudden stop
or collision and it could result in serious
injury or death to the child or other
occupants. Even in a moderate accident,
the child may be exposed to air bag forces
that could result in serious injury or death
to the child, or the child may be slammed
into an adult, causing injury to both child
and adult.
97)Always make sure the passenger air
bag deactivation OFF indicator light is
illuminated when using a child-restraint
system. Seating a child in a child-restraint
system that is installed on the passenger
seat with the passenger air bag
deactivation OFF indicator light not
illuminated is extremely dangerous. In an
accident, an air bag could inflate and
cause serious injuries or even death to the
child seated in the child-restraint system.
Always make sure the passenger air bag
deactivation OFF indicator light is
illuminated.
98)Extreme Hazard! Never use a
rear-facing child-restraint system on the
passenger seat with an air bag that could
deploy: NEVER use a rearward facing
child-restraint on a seat protected by an
ACTIVE AIRBAG in front of it, DEATH or
SERIOUS INJURY to the CHILD can occur.
Vehicles with a passenger air bag have a
warning label attached on the passenger
side sun visor (refer to “Passenger side
front air bag and child-restraint systems”).
This warning label is displayed in
compliance with regulations.99)Even in a moderate collision, the
child-restraint system can be hit by a
deploying air bag and moved violently
backward resulting in serious injury or
death to the child. If your vehicle is
equipped with a passenger occupant
classification system, always make sure the
passenger air bag deactivation OFF
indicator light is illuminated, when installing
a rear-facing child-restraint system on the
passenger seat.
100)Before installing child-restraint system
on the passenger seat, move the
passenger seat as far back as possible.
The rearmost position may not be suitable
for the installation of some child-restraint
systems. In a collision, the force of a
deploying air bag could cause serious
injury or death to the child. Make sure the
passenger air bag deactivation OFF
indicator light is illuminated.101)Seating a child in a child-restraint
system on the passenger seat is
dangerous under certain conditions. Your
vehicle is equipped with passenger
occupant classification sensor. Even with
the passenger occupant classification
sensor, if you must use the passenger seat
to seat a child, using a child-restraint
system on the passenger seat under the
following conditions increases the danger
of the passenger air bag deploying and
could result in serious injury or death to the
child. The passenger air bag deactivation
OFF indicator light does not illuminate
when seating a child in the child-restraint
system / Luggage or other items are
placed on the seat with the child in the
child-restraint system / The seat is washed
/ Liquids are spilled on the seat / The
passenger seat is moved backward,
pushing into luggage or other items placed
behind it / Luggage or other items are
placed between the passenger seat and
driver seat / An electric device is put on the
passenger's seat / An additional electrical
device, such as a seat warmer is installed
to the surface of the passenger seat.

102)Do not allow a child or anyone to lean
over or against the side window of a
vehicle with side air bags. It is dangerous
to allow anyone to lean over or against the
side window, the area of the passenger
seat from which the side air bags deploy,
even if a child-restraint system is used. The
impact of inflation from a side air bag could
cause serious injury or death to an out of
position child. Furthermore, leaning over or
against the door could block the side air
bags and eliminate the advantages of
supplementary protection. Because the
side air bag deploys from the outer
shoulder of the seat, do not allow the child
to lean over or against the side window,
even if the child is seated in a
child-restraint system.
103)Never use one seat belt on more than
one person at a time. Using one seat belt
for more than one person at a time is
dangerous. A seat belt used in this way
cannot spread the impact forces properly
and the two passengers could be crushed
together and seriously injured or even
killed. Never use one belt for more than
one person at a time and always operate
the vehicle with each occupant properly
restrained.
104)Use the tether and tether anchor only
for a child-restraint system. Child-restraint
system anchorages are designed to
withstand only those loads imposed by
correctly installed child-restraint systems.
Under no circumstances are they to be
used for adult seat belts, harnesses, or for
attaching other items or equipment to the
vehicle.105)Always install a rear-facing child seat
in the correct seat position. Installing a
rear-facing child seat without first
consulting the table “Child-restraint system
suitability for various seat positions” is
dangerous. A rear-facing child seat
installed on the wrong seat position cannot
be properly secured. In a collision, the child
could hit something or someone in the
vehicle and be seriously injured or even
killed.
106)Always install a junior seat in the
correct seat position. Installing a junior seat
without first consulting the table
“Child-restraint system suitability for
various seat positions” is dangerous. A
junior seat installed on the wrong seat
position cannot be properly secured. In a
collision, the child could hit something or
someone in the vehicle and be seriously
injured or even killed.
107)Always install a baby seat in the
correct seat position. Installing a baby seat
without first consulting the table
“Child-restraint system suitability for
various seat positions” is dangerous. A
baby seat installed on the wrong seat
position cannot be properly secured. In a
collision, the child could hit something or
someone in the vehicle and be seriously
injured or even killed.108)Never use a rear-facing child-restraint
system on the passenger seat protected
by an air bag. Extreme Hazard! Do not use
a rearward facing child-restraint on a seat
protected by an airbag in front of it! The
child-restraint system can be hit by the
deploying air bag and knocked out of
position. A child in the child-restraint
system could be seriously injured or killed.
If your vehicle is equipped with a
passenger occupant classification system,
always make sure the passenger air bag
deactivation OFF indicator light is
illuminated, if installing a rear-facing
child-restraint system on the passenger
seat is unavoidable.
109)Never install a front-facing child seat
in the wrong seat position: Installing a
front-facing child seat without first
consulting the table “Child-restraint system
suitability for various seat positions” is
dangerous. A front-facing child seat
installed in the wrong seat position cannot
be properly secured. In a collision, the child
could hit something or someone in the
vehicle and be seriously injured or even
killed. Make sure the passenger air bag
deactivation OFF indicator light is
illuminated.
110)Before installing child-restraint system
on the passenger seat, move the
passenger seat as far back as possible: In
a collision, the force of a deploying air bag
could cause serious injury or death to the
child. Make sure the passenger air bag
deactivation OFF indicator light is
illuminated.
