A
WARNING
If, in exceptional circumstances, you must in-
stall a forward or rearward-fac ing child re-
stra int on the front passenger's seat:
- Improper installat ion of child restraints can
reduce the ir effectiveness or even prevent
them from provid ing any protect ion.
- An improperly installed child restra int can
interfere with the airbag as it deploys and
serious ly injure or even kill the child - even
with an Advanced Airbag System.
- Always carefully follow the manufacturer's
instructions provided with the child seat or
carrier.
- Always make sure that there is noth ing on
the front passenge r seat that will cause the
capacitive passenge r detection system in
the sea t to signal to the Airbag System that
the seat is occupied by a person when it is
not, or to signal that it is occupied by some-
one who is heavier than the person act ually
sitt ing on the seat. The presence of addi-
tional objects could cause the passenger
front airbag to be turned on when it should
be off, or could cause the airbag to work in a
way that is d ifferent from the way it wou ld
have wo rked withou t the objec t on the seat.
