air bag only when the ignition

vated.The infant or child could be
severely injured or killed by an air
bag deployment in case of an
accident.
Even though your vehicle is
equipped with the passenger'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. Chil -
dren who are too large for child
restraint systems should always
occupy the rear seat and use the
available lap/shoulder belts. Chil -
dren 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 lon -
ger needed on the front passen -
ger's seat, reactivate the front
passenger's air bag.
Never place or insert any object
into any small opening near side
airbag labels attached to the vehi -
cle seats. When the air bag
deploys, the object may affect
the deployment and result in
unexpected accident or bodily
harm.
