WARNINGS. Make certain that the child and
child restraint are correct ly recognized by the
capacitive passenger detect ion system in the
front passenger seat, that the front passenger
airbag is turned off, and that the airbag status
is always correct ly signa led by the PASSEN-
GER AIR BAG OFF light .
Many types and models of child restra ints
have been available over the years, new mod-
els are introduced regular ly incorporating new
and improved designs and older models are
taken out of production . Child rest raints are
not standardi zed. Child restra ints of the same
type typi cally have differen t 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 vehi-
cle seat. These differences make it virtually
imposs ible to certify compliance w ith the re-
qu irements for advanced airbags w ith each
and every child restraint that has ever 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 Nat ional
Highway Traffic Safety Admin istration has
published a list of specific type, makes and
models of child rest raints that must be used
to certify complia nce of the Advanced Airbag
Syst em in your vehicle with the suppress ion
requiremen t s of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety
Standard 208 . These child restraints are:
