Safety features of your vehicle
WARNING
• The driver is responsible for
the proper position of the pas-
senger's front air bag ON/OFF
switch.
• Deactivate the passenger's
front air bag only when the
ignition switch is switched off,
or the malfunction may occur
in the SRS Control Module.
And there may be a danger
that the driver's and/or front
passenger's and/or side and
curtain air bag may fail to trig-
ger, or not trigger correctly
during a collision.
• Never install a rearward facing
child seat on the front passen-
ger's seat unless the passen-
ger's front air bag has been
deactivated. The infant or child
could be severely injured or
killed by an air bag deploy-
ment in case of an accident.

(Continued)
• Even though your vehicle is
equipped with the passen-
ger's front air bag ON/OFF
switch, do not install a child
restraint system in the front
passenger's seat. A child
restraint system must never
be placed in the front seat.
Children who are too large for
child restraint systems should
always occupy the rear seat
and use the available lap/shoul-
der belts. Children are afforded
the most safety in the event of
an accident when they are
restrained by a proper restraint
system in the rear seat.
• As soon as the child seat is
no longer needed on the front
passenger's seat, reactivate
the front passenger's air bag.
Side air bag (if equipped)
❈ The actual air bags in the vehicle may dif-
fer from the illustration.
Your vehicle is equipped with a side
air bag in each front seat.
