Seats and Restraints
A label on the sun visor says,
Never put a rear-facing child seat
in the front. This is because the risk
to the rear-facing child is so great,
if the airbag deploys.
WARNING
A child in a rear-facing child
restraint can be seriously
injured or killed if the right
front passenger airbag inflates.
This is because the back of the
rear-facing child restraint would
be very close to the inflating
airbag. A child in a forward-facing
child restraint can be seriously
injured or killed if the right front
passenger airbag inflates and the
passenger seat is in a forward
position.
Even if the passenger sensing
system has turned off the right
front passenger frontal airbag
and seat-mounted side impact

WARNING (Continued)
airbag (if equipped), no
system is fail-safe. No one can
guarantee that an airbag will
not deploy under some unusual
circumstance, even though the
airbag(s) are off.
Secure rear-facing child restraints
in a rear seat, even if the
airbag(s) are off. If you secure a
forward-facing child restraint in
the right front seat, always move
the front passenger seat as far
back as it will go. It is better to
secure the child restraint in a
rear seat.
If the vehicle does not have a
rear seat that will accommodate
a rear facing child restraint, a
rear facing child restraint should
not be installed in the vehicle,
even if the airbag is off.
I n f o r ma t i o n P r o v i d e d b y :
The passenger sensing system is
designed to turn off the right front
passenger airbag and seat mounted
side impact airbag if:
The right front passenger seat is
unoccupied.
The system determines that an
infant is present in a rear-facing
infant seat.
The system determines that a
small child is present in a child
restraint.
The system determines that
a small child is present in a
booster seat.
A right front passenger takes
his/her weight off of the seat for
a period of time.
The right front passenger seat is
occupied by a smaller person,
such as a child who has
outgrown child restraints.
Or, if there is a critical problem
with the airbag system or the
passenger sensing system.
