ther child safety seat.
5. If the child seat has an upper tether provided, fit and tighten the upper tether
correctly. See Attaching Upper Tether
Straps. WARNING: When the combined
w

eight of the child plus the child
restraint is more than 64 lb (29 kg),
you should not use the lower LATCH/
ISOFIX anchors with the child seats or
booster seats that have an integrated
safety belt. Use the seat belt instead.
Installing Seat Belt Retained Child Seats First, make sure that the child falls into the
corr

ect weight range for the child seat being
used. See Choosing a Child Safety Seat on
page 41.
The following is a general procedure for
installing a seat belt retained child restraint.
You should always read and follow the
instructions provided by the manufacturer of
the child safety seat you are installing. 1. Place the child safety seat in the vehicle
seat and fully e
xtend the seat belt to
engage the ALR. See Automatic Locking
Retractor (ALR). Route the seat belt to
secure the child safety seat and secure
the buckle following the manufacturer

4. Attach the tether strap hook to thetether anchor point on the parcel shelf.
Ensure that the tether strap hook is
facing the correct way according to the
manufacturer

Airbag Safety InformationWARNING: Even with airbags, the
driver and occupants must always
wear their seat belts to minimize the
risk of severe injury or death in the
event of a collision.WARNING: Do not attach or place
objects on or near the front airbags,
the side of the front seats, the
headliner at the side of the vehicle, or
any other location that could interfere
with the inflation of an airbag. Objects
can cause serious injury if the vehicle
is in a collision severe enough to
cause the airbag to deploy.WARNING: For the curtain airbags
to deploy correctly, the roof lining
and A )post trim must be undamaged
and installed correctly. Any damage
or suspect installation should be
referred to a Lucid Service Center for
inspection.WARNING: Front-seat occupants
should not place any part of their
arms, body against the steering wheel
or dashboard area, as an inflating
airbag can cause fractures or other injuries.WARNING: Do not use seat covers
in the vehicle. A seat cover could
interfere with the deployment of the
seat-mounted side airbags in the
event of a collision.WARNING: Airbags inflate with
considerable speed and force. To
reduce the risk of injuries, ensure that
all occupants are wearing seat belts
and are correctly seated, with seats
positioned as far back from any front
airbags as possible.WARNING: Never use a child safety
seat or seat young children on a seat
with an operational airbag in front of
it. Doing so can cause serious injury
or death if the airbag deploys.WARNING: To ensure correct inflation
of the side airbags, maintain
an unobstructed gap between an
occupant

-Slow speed front impacts
- Side impacts
- Driving over bumps or potholes
Therefore, significant superficial damage can
occur to the vehicle without the airbags
inflating or, conversely, a relatively small
amount of not easily visualized structural
damage can cause airbags to inflate.
Types of Airbags
Front airbags
The front airbags are designed to protect
the head and chest of the driver and front passenger from impact with the steering
wheel and dashboard panel components.
The front airbags fitted to your vehicle are
advanced airbags. This type of airbag is
designed to reduce airbag-related injuries to small-statured adults.
An occupancy sensor is built into the
front passenger seat. If the sensor detects
the weight of an infant or small child,
the system will automatically turn off the
passenger

Curtain airbagsWARNING: Make sure that passengers
do not lean their heads against the
doors. In the event of a collision,
the curtain airbag deploys from the
headliner and may cause injury.WARNING: Never hang or attach
heavy objects from the grab handles
on the headliner. The hooks are for
lightweight garments (not for hard
objects).
The curtain airbags are designed to protect
the head in severe frontal crashes with a lateral component, severe side impacts, orrollovers. They do not inflate in all frontal
impacts and do not inflate alone in a rear
impact.
Note: Curtain airbags can help prevent
occupants from being thrown from the vehicle
in the event of a vehicle rollover.
Obstruction of Airbags
WARNING: Do not allow passengers to
obstruct the operation of the airbags
by placing feet, knees, any other part
of the body, or any other objects in
contact with, or in close proximity to,
an airbag module.WARNING: Do not attach or position
items on an airbag cover that could
interfere with the inflation of the
airbag or be propelled inside your
vehicle and injure occupants.WARNING: Never place your arm over
an airbag cover. A deploying airbag
can cause serious fractures or other
injuries.
For the airbags to correctly deploy,
obstructions cannot intervene between an
airbag and the occupant.
The following are examples of the type
of obstructions that could impede the
correct operation of the airbags or jeopardize
personal safety in the event of an airbag
deployment:
-Accessories attached to or obscuring an
airbag cover (for example, attached to
the roof lining, door pillar trim, or the
front seat backrests)
- Items of hand luggage, or other objects
placed on an airbag cover
- Feet, knees, or any other part of the
anatomy in contact with, or in close
proximity to, an airbag cover
- Head, arms, or any part of the anatomy
in contact with, or in close proximity to,
a seat-mounted side airbag
- Objects (such as items of clothing)
hanging from the handles attached to the headliner
- Objects (such as items of clothing or
cushions) draped over the part of the
front seat containing the airbag
- Seat covers/accessory seat covers over
a front seat; in particular, seat covers
that have not been designed for use
with seat-mounted side airbags. If
in doubt, consult your Lucid Service
Center .Seating & Safety Restraints49

Front Passenger Seat Occupant Classification System (OCS)WARNING: Lucid strongly advises against seating a child on the front passenger seat, even
if the passenger airbag is Off. All occupants age 12 and under should ride in the rear seats.
See Child Safety Locks on page 21.WARNING: The full weight of the front seat passenger should always be directly on the
seat cushion. The passenger should never lift themselves off the seat cushion by using
the armrest in the door or the center console, by pressing their feet on the floor, by
sitting on the edge of the seat cushion, or by pressing against the backrest in a way that reduces pressure on the seat cushion. The passenger should never place anything (such
as a cushion) between themselves and the seat that could cause OCS to disable the front
passenger

If you think the passenger airbag status is incorrect, check for the following:-Objects lodged underneath the seat
- Objects wedged between the seat cushion and the center console
- Objects hanging off the back off the seat
- Cargo interference with the seat
- Rear-seat passengers pushing or pulling on the front passenger seat
Any of the conditions listed above may cause the occupancy sensor to incorrectly interpret the
weight of the occupant or object as either heavier or lighter than the real weight.
Depending on the input received from the occupancy sensor, the passenger airbag status indicator
operates as follows:Front Passenger Seat OccupancyPassenger Airbag StatusPassenger Airbag Status
IndicatorAirbag SRS Warning
IndicatorCompletely empty/ low-weight
object *1DeactivatedOFF-Child restraint seat with infantDeactivated *2OFF-ChildDeactivated*3OFF-AdultActivated*4ON-System malfunctionDeactivatedOFFON
*1
A low-weight object or occupant is classified as weighing less than 52 lb (23.5 kg). The movement
of a low-weight occupant or object while your vehicle is in motion may cause the status indicator to
switch states occasionally.
*2 Never install a rear-facing child restraint system on the front passenger seat. A forward-facing
child restraint system should only be installed on the front passenger seat when it is unavoidable.
*3 For some children (a child in a seat, booster seat, or convertible seat), the system may not
recognize them as a child. Factors that may affect this can be the physique or posture.
*4 The system judges a person of adult size as an adult. When a smaller adult sits in the front
passenger seat, the system may not recognize them as adults, depending on their physique and
posture.
Note: It is possible to receive an intermittent indicator status with an empty seat. This is part of
the system
