area where the SAB inflates. Children are at
an even greater risk of injury from a
deploying air bag.
Supplemental Side Air Bag Inflatable Curtains
(SABICs) (If Equipped)
Your vehicle may be equipped with Supple-
mental Side Air Bag Inflatable Curtains
(SABICs). If your vehicle is equipped with
Supplemental Side Air Bag Inflatable
Curtains (SABICs), please refer to the infor -
mation below.
Supplemental Side Air Bag Inflatable
Curtains (SABICs) are located above the side
windows. The trim covering the SABICs is
labeled “SRS AIRBAG” or “AIRBAG.” Supplemental Side Air Bag Inflatable Curtain
(SABIC) Label Location
SABICs (if equipped with SABICs) may help
reduce the risk of head and other injuries to
front and rear seat outboard occupants in
certain side impacts, in addition to the injury
reduction potential provided by the seat
belts and body structure.
The SABIC deploys downward, covering the
side windows. An inflating SABIC pushes the
outside edge of the headliner out of the way
and covers the window. The SABICs inflate
with enough force to injure occupants if they
are not belted and seated properly, or if
items are positioned in the area where the
SABICs inflate. Children are at an even
greater risk of injury from a deploying air bag. The SABICs (if equipped with SABICs) may
help reduce the risk of partial or complete
ejection of vehicle occupants through side
windows in certain side impact events.
WARNING!
Do not use accessory seat covers or place
objects between you and the Side Air
Bags; the performance could be adversely
affected and/or objects could be pushed
into you, causing serious injury. WARNING!
Do not mount equipment, or stack
luggage or other cargo up high enough to
block the deployment of the SABICs.
The trim covering above the side
windows where the SABIC and its
deployment path are located should
remain free from any obstructions.
In order for the SABICs to work as
intended, do not install any accessory
items in your vehicle which could alter
the roof. Do not add an aftermarket
sunroof to your vehicle. Do not add roof
racks that require permanent attach
-
ments (bolts or screws) for installation
on the vehicle roof. Do not drill into the
roof of the vehicle for any reason.

How far (if at all) the driver was depressing
the accelerator and/or brake pedal; and,
How fast the vehicle was traveling.
These data can help provide a better under -
standing of the circumstances in which
crashes and injuries occur.
NOTE:
EDR data are recorded by your vehicle only if
a non-trivial crash situation occurs; no data
are recorded by the EDR under normal
driving conditions and no personal data (e.g.,
name, gender, age, and crash location) are
recorded. However, other parties, such as
law enforcement, could combine the EDR
data with the type of personally identifying
data routinely acquired during a crash inves -
tigation.
To read data recorded by an EDR, special
equipment is required, and access to the
vehicle or the EDR is needed. In addition to
the vehicle manufacturer, other parties, such
as law enforcement, that have the special
equipment, can read the information if they
have access to the vehicle or the EDR.
Child Restraints — Carrying Children
Safely
Warning Label On Front Passenger Sun Visor
Everyone in your vehicle needs to be buckled
up at all times, including babies and chil -
dren. EC directive 2003/20/EC requires
proper use of restraints in all EC countries.

Children less than 1.5 meters tall and 12 years
or younger should ride properly buckled up in a
rear seat, if available. According to crash statis -
tics, children are safer when properly
restrained in the rear seats rather than in the
front.

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.

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.
“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.
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.

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.
