3. If a child from 2 to 12 years old (not in arear-facing  child  restraint)  must  ride  in
the  front  passenger  seat,  move  the  seat
as  far  back  as  possible  and  use  the
proper  child  restraint.  Refer  to  “Child
Restraints”  in  this  section  for  further
information.
4. Never allow children to slide the shoulder belt behind them or under their arm.
5. You  should  read  the  instructions provided with your child restraint to make
sure that you are using it properly.
6. All  occupants  should  always  wear  their lap and shoulder belts properly.
7. The  driver  and  front  passenger  seats should be moved back as far as practical
to allow the front air bags room to inflate.
8. Do  not  lean  against  the  door  or  window. If  your  vehicle  has  side  air  bags,  and
deployment occurs, the side air bags will
inflate  forcefully into  the space between
occupants  and  the  door  and  occupants
could be injured. 9. If the air bag system in this vehicle needs
to  be  modified  to  accommodate  a
disabled  person,  refer  to  the  “Customer
Assistance” section for customer service
contact information.
Seat Belt Systems 
Buckle up even though  you are an excellent
driver,  even  on  short  trips.  Someone  on  the
road may be a poor driver and could cause a
collision that includes you. This can happen
far away from home or on your own street.
Research  has  shown  that  seat  belts  save
lives, and they can reduce the seriousness of
injuries in a collision. Some of the worst inju -
ries happen when people are thrown from the
vehicle.  Seat  belts  reduce  the  possibility  of
ejection  and  the  risk  of  injury  caused  by
striking the inside of the vehicle. Everyone in
a motor vehicle should be belted at all times.
 WARNING!
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.
It is advisable to always carry children in
a child restraint system on the rear seat,
which  is  the  most  protected  position  in
the event of a collision.
Should it be necessary to carry a child on
the  passenger  side  front  seat  in  a
rear-facing  child  restraint  system,  the
passenger  side  front  air  bag  must  be
deactivated.  Always  make  sure  the
airbag deactivation indicator light is illu -
minated  when  using  a  child  restraint
system. The passenger seat must also be
positioned backward as far as possible to
avoid  the  child  restraint  system  from
coming into contact with the dashboard.
A  deploying  passenger  front air bag  can
cause  death  or  serious  injury  to  a  child
12 years or younger, including a child in
a rear-facing child restraint.

Front Air Bags
This  vehicle  has  front  air  bags  and  lap/
shoulder  belts  for  both  the  driver  and  front
passenger.  The  front  air  bags  are  a  supple-
ment  to  the seat  belt restraint  systems.  The
driver front air bag is mounted in the center
of the steering wheel. The passenger front air
bag  is  mounted  in  the  instrument  panel,
above  the  glove  compartment.  The  words
“SRS  AIRBAG”  or  “AIRBAG”  are  embossed
on the air bag covers.
Front Air Bag/Knee Impact Bolster LocationsDriver And Passenger Front Air Bag Features
The  front  air  bag  system  is  designed  to
inflate  based  on  the  severity  and  type  of
collision  as  determined  by  the  Occupant
Restraint  Controller  (ORC),  which  may
receive  information  from  the  front  impact
sensors (if equipped) or other system compo -
nents.  The driver  front  air  bag  system has a
single stage air bag. The passenger  front air
bag  system  has  a  multistage  front  air  bag.
The  first  stage  inflator  is  triggered  immedi -
ately during  an  impact  that  requires  air  bag
deployment. For the multistage air bag, a low
energy  output  is  used  in  less  severe  colli -
sions.  A  higher  energy  output  is  used  for
more severe collisions.
This vehicle may be equipped with a driver and/or
front  passenger  seat  belt  buckle  switch  that
detects whether the driver or front passenger seat
belt is buckled. The seat  belt buckle switch may
adjust  the  inflation  rate  of  the  passenger  multi -
stage Front Air Bag.

 WARNING!
Being  too  close  to the  steering  wheel  or
instrument  panel  during  front  air  bag
deployment  could  cause  serious  injury,
including  death.  Air  bags  need  room  to
inflate.  Sit  back,  comfortably  extending
your arms to reach the steering wheel or
instrument panel.

There  are  different  sizes  and  types  of
restraints  for  children  from  newborn  size  to
the  child  almost  large  enough  for  an  adult
safety  belt.  Children  should  ride  rearward
facing  as  long  as  possible;  this  is  the  most
protected position for a child in the event of
a crash. Always check the child seat Owner’s
Manual  to  make  sure  you  have  the  correct
seat for your child. Carefully read and follow
all the instructions and warnings in the child
restraint  Owner’s  Manual  and  on  all  the
labels attached to the child restraint.In  Europe,  children  restraint  systems  are
defined  by  regulation  ECE-R44,  which
divides them into five weight groups:
Check  the  label  of  your  child  restraint.  All
approved  child  restraints  must  include
type-approval  data  and  the  control  mark  on
its  label.  The  label  must  be  permanently
secured  to  the  child  restraint  system.  You
should  not  remove  this  label  from  the  child
restraint.
 WARNING!
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.
It is advisable to always carry children in
a child restraint system on the rear seat,
which  is  the  most  protected  position  in
the event of a collision.
Should it be necessary to carry a child on
the  passenger  side  front  seat  in  a
rear-facing  child  restraint  system,  the
passenger  side  front  air  bag  must  be
deactivated.  Always  make  sure  the
airbag deactivation indicator light is illu
-
minated  when  using  a  child  restraint
system. The passenger seat must also be
positioned backward as far as possible to
avoid  the  child  restraint  system  from
coming into contact with the dashboard.
A  deploying  passenger  front  air bag  can
cause  death  or  serious  injury  to  a  child
12 years or younger, including a child in
a rear-facing child restraint.
In a collision, an unrestrained child can
become  a  projectile  inside  the  vehicle.
The force required to hold even an infant
on  your  lap  could  become  so  great  that
you  could  not  hold  the  child,  no  matter
how strong you are. The child and others
could  be  badly  injured  or  killed.  Any
child riding in your vehicle should be in
a proper restraint for the child’s size.

“Universal” Child Restraint Systems
The  figures  in  the  following  sections  are
examples  of  each  type  of  universal  child
restraint  system.  Typical  installations  are
shown.  Always  install  your  child  restraint
system  according  to  the  child  restraint
manufacturer’s  instructions,  which  must
be  included  with  this  type  of  restraint
system.
Child  restraint  systems  with  ISOFIX
anchorages are available for installing the
child  restraint  system  to  the  vehicle
without using the vehicle’s seat belts.
Group 0 And 0+
Fig. A
Safety experts recommend that children ride
rearward  facing  in  the  vehicle  as  long  as
possible.  Infants  up  to  13  kg  must  be
restrained in a rear-facing seat like the child
seat  shown  in  fig.  A.  This  type  of  child
restraint supports the child’s head and does
not induce stress on the neck in the event of
sudden decelerations or a crash.
The  rear-facing  child  restraint  is  restrained
by  the  vehicle’s  seat  belts,  as  shown  in  fig.
A. The child seat restrains the child with its
own harness.
 WARNING!
Extreme Hazard! Do not place a rear-facing
child restraint in front of an active air bag.
Refer  to  visor  mounted  labels  for
information.  Deployment  of  the  air  bag  in
an  accident  could  cause  fatal  injuries  to
the  baby  regardless  of  the  severity  of  the
collision.  It  is  advisable  to  always  carry
children  in  a child  restraint system  on  the
rear  seat,  which  is  the  most  protected
position in the event of a collision.
 WARNING!
Should  it  be  necessary  to  carry  a  child  on
the  passenger  side  front  seat  in  a
rear-facing  child  restraint  system,  the
passenger  side  front  airbag  and  side  bag
(for  versions/markets,  where  provided)
must  be  deactivated  through  the  Setup
menu.  Deactivation  should  be  verified  by
checking  whether  the  warning  light  is
switched  on  in  the  instrument  panel.  The
passenger  seat  must  also  be  positioned
backward  as  far  as  possible  to  avoid  the
child  restraint  system  from  coming  into
contact with the dashboard.
