Warnings and Cautions
For Child-restraint
Systems
WARNING
Use the correct size child-restraint
system.
For effective protection in vehicle
accidents and sudden stops, a child
must be properly restrained using a
seat belt or child-restraint system
depending on age and size. If not, the
child could be seriously injured or even
killed in an accident.
Follow the manufacturer's
instructions and always keep the
child-restraint system buckled down.
An unsecured child-restraint system is
dangerous. In a sudden stop or a
collision it could move causing serious
injury or death to the child or other
occupants. Make sure any
child-restraint system is properly
secured in place according to the
child-restraint system manufacturer's
instructions. When not in use, remove
it from the vehicle or fasten it with a
seat belt.

Child-restraint Systems
Always secure a child in a proper
child-restraint system.
Holding a child in your arms while the
vehicle is moving is extremely
dangerous. No matter how strong the
person may be, he or she cannot hold
onto a child in a sudden stop or
collision and it could result in serious
injury or death to the child or other
occupants. Even in a moderate
accident, the child may be exposed to
air bag forces that could result in
serious injury or death to the child, or
the child may be slammed into an
adult, causing injury to both child and
adult.
Always make sure the passenger air
bag deactivation indicator light is
illuminated when using a
child-restraint system.
Seating a child in a child-restraint
system that is installed on the
passenger seat with the passenger air
bag deactivation indicator light not
illuminated is extremely dangerous. In
an accident, an air bag could inflate
and cause serious injuries or even
death to the child seated in the
child-restraint system. Always make
sure the passenger air bag deactivation
indicator light is illuminated.
(Except Mexico)
Vehicles with a passenger air bag have
the following warning label. The
warning label is displayed in
compliance with regulations.
