the U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administra-
tion (NHTSA) in the relevant safety standard are
stored in the Advanced Airbag System control unit
together with the capacitances typical of infants and
a 1 year-old child. When a child restraint is used on
the front passenger seat with a typical 1 year-old in-
fant, the Advanced Airbag System compares the ca-
pacitance measured by the capacitive passenger de-
tection system with the data stored in the electronic
control unit.
Child restraints and Advanced Airbags
No matter what child restraint you use, make sure
that it has been certified to meet U.S. Federal Motor
Vehicle Safety Standard 213 (FMVSS 213) or, if you
live in Canada, Canada Motor Vehicle Safety Stand-
ard 213 (CMVSS 213). Also make sure that the child
restraint you are using has been certified by its man-
ufacturer for use with an airbag. Always be sure that
the child restraint is properly installed at one of the
rear seating positions. If in exceptional circumstan-
ces you must use it on the front passenger seat,
carefully read all of the information on child safety
and Advanced Airbags and heed all of the applicable
WARNINGS. Make certain that the child restraint is
correctly recognized by the capacitive passenger de-
tection system inside the front passenger seat, that
the passenger front airbag is switched off, and that
the airbag status is always correctly signaled by the
PASSENGER AIR BAG
Many types and models of child restraints have been
available over the years, new models are introduced
regularly incorporating new and improved designs
and older models are taken out of production. Child
restraints are not standardized. Child restraints of
the same type typically have different weights and
sizes and different "footprints," the size and shape
of the bottom of the child restraint that sits on the
seat, when they are installed on a vehicle seat. These
differences make it virtually impossible to certify
compliance with the requirements for Advanced Air-
bags with each and every child restraint that has ev-
er been sold in the past or will be sold over the
course of the useful life of your vehicle.
For this reason, the United States National Highway
Traffic Safety Administration has published a list of
specific types, makes and models of child restraints
that must be used to certify compliance of the Ad-
vanced Airbag System in your vehicle with the sup-
pression requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle
Safety Standard 208. These child restraints are:

is installed on the front passenger seat and the ig-
nition is switched on.
·
Take the child restraint off the front passenger
seat and install it properly at one of the rear
seat positions if the PASSENGER AIR BAG
