A child who has outgrown
child-restraint systems should use seat
belts, both lap and shoulder. If the
shoulder belt crosses the neck or face,
move the child closer to the centre of
the vehicle.
A rear-facing child-restraint system
shouldNEVERbe used on the
passenger seat with the air bag system
activated. In the event of an impact the
air bag activation may cause fatal
injuries to the transported child.
To reduce the chance of injuries caused
by deployment of the passenger air
bag, the passenger occupant
classification sensor work as a part of
the supplementary restraint system.
This system deactivates the passenger
front and side air bags and also the
passenger seat belt pretensioner
system when the passenger air bag
deactivation OFF indicator light
illuminates.
When an infant or small child sits on the
passenger seat, the system shuts off
the passenger front and side air bags
and seat belt pretensioner system, so
make sure the passenger air bag
deactivation OFF indicator light
illuminates. For more details, refer to
"Passenger occupant classification
sensor" in “Front Air Bags” paragraph.IMPORTANT A seat belt or
child-restraint system can become very
hot in a closed vehicle during warm
weather. To avoid burning yourself or a
child, check them before you or your
child touches them.
NOTE Your vehicle is equipped with
ISOFIX anchors for attachment of
ISOFIX child-restraint systems. When
using these anchors to secure a
child-restraint system, refer to “Using
ISOFIX anchor” paragraph in this
chapter.
