After using a child restraint sys-
tem on the front passenger seat,
ensure that the front, knee, and
side airbags on the front pas-
senger side are deactivated. For
automatic deactivation of front-
seat passenger airbags, refer to
page 175.Pay attention to the specifica-
tions and the operating and
safety information of the child
restraint system manufacturer
when selecting, installing, and
using child restraint systems.
WARNING
Exposure to intense sunlight can
cause child restraint systems and
their components to become very
hot. Persons may sustain burn
injuries when touching the hot
components. There is a risk of
injury. Do not e
xpose the child
restraint system to direct sunlight
or cover where necessary. If nec-
essary, let the ch ild restraint sys-
tem cool down before transporting
a child. Do not leave children
unattended in the vehicle.
