Ch ild Safety
the safety belt for the front seat passenge r
measures the tension on the be lt . The inp ut from
this sensor is then used w ith the weight to "de-
cide", whether there is a child restra int w ith a
typical 1 year-old child on the front passenger
seat and whether or not the airbag must be
turned off .
Child restraints and Advanced Airbags
Regard less of the chi ld restraint that you use,
make sure that it has been certified to meet Unit -
ed States Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards
and has been certified by its manufact urer for
use with an airbag. If in exceptional circ umstan-
ces you must use it on the front passenger seat,
caref ully read all of the information on child safe-
ty and Advanced Airbags and heed all of the ap-
plicable WARNINGS. Make certain that the child
restraint is correctly recognized by the we ight-
sensing mat ins ide the front passenger seat, that
the front passenger a irbag is tu rned off and that
the airbag status is a lways correctly signaled by
the
PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF
light .
Many types and models of child restra ints have
been ava ilable ove r the years, new models a re in-
troduced regu larly incorporat ing new and im -
proved des igns and o lder models are taken out of
prod uction. Child rest raints are not standardized.
Child restraints of the same type typically have
d ifferent weights and sizes and different 'foot-
prints,' the size and shape of the bottom of the
child restraint that sits on the seat, when they
are installed on a veh icle seat . These differences
make it virtually impossible to certify compliance
with the requ irements for advanced ai rbags with
each and eve ry child rest raint that has ever been
sold in the past or will be sold ove r the course of
the useful life of your vehicle.
For this reason, the United States Nat iona l High-
way Traffic Safety Admin istration has published a
list of specific type , makes and models of child
restraints that m ust be used to certify comp li-
ance of the Advanced Airbag System in your vehi-
cle with the suppression requirements of Federal
Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 208. These chi ld
restraints are:
