& WARNING Risk of injury or death if the
co-driver airbag is enabled
If the co-driver airbag is enabled, a child on
the co-driver seat may be struck by the co-
driver airbag during an accident.
NEVER use a rearward-facing child restraint
system on a seat with an ENABLED FRONT
AIRBAG; DEATH or SERIOUS INJURY to the
CHILD can occur.
When installing a child restraint system on the
front passenger seat, observe the vehicle-spe‐
cific information ( page 62). Also, always
/
observe the notes on rearward-facing or
forward-facing child restraint systems on the
front passenger seat.
Information on automatic front passenger
airbag shutoff
The front passenger airbag can only be deployed
in an accident if the PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF
indicator lamp is off. If the front passenger seat
is occupied, make sure, both before and during
the journey, that the status of the front
passenger airbag is correct ( page 48).
/
* NOTE Important points to remember if
the front passenger seat is unoccupied
In an accident, the components of the
restraint system may deploy unnecessarily
on the front passenger side if:
There are heavy objects on the front
R
passenger seat.
The seat belt tongue is engaged in the
R
seat belt buckle of the front passenger
seat and the front passenger seat is
unoccupied.
Stow objects in a suitable place.
#
Only one person should use each seat
#
belt at any one time.
Depending on the detected accident situation,
the window curtain airbag on the front
passenger side may deploy. The airbag is
deployed regardless of whether the front
passenger seat is occupied.
Protective capacity of the airbags
Depending on the accident situation, an airbag
may supplement the protection offered by a cor‐
rectly fastened seat belt.
