WARNING (continued )
•
Never attach a child safety seat tether strap to a tie-down hook
in the luggage compartment .

Never secure or attach any luggage or other items to the tether.
•
If a tether or other strap is used to attach a child restraint to the
front passenger seat , make sure that it is not so tight , that it
causes the weight-sensing
mat to measure more weight than is
actually on the seat.

The heavier weight registered can make the system work as
though an adult were on the seat and deploy the Advanced Airbag
when it must be suppressed causing serious or even fatal injury to
the child . •
