Position)

This vehicle has airbags. A rear
seat is a safer place to secure a
forward-facing child restraint. See
Where to Put the Restraint on
page 3 41.
In addition, the vehicle may have a
passenger sensing system which is
designed to turn off the right front
passenger's frontal airbag under
certain conditions. See Passenger
Sensing System on page 3 27 and
Passenger Airbag Status Indicator
on page 5 11 for more information
on this, including important safety
information.
