adult passenger is properly seated in the front passen-
ger seat. In this case, the airbag is ready to be inflated
if a collision requiring an airbag occurs.
For almost all properly installed rear facing child re-
straints, the "PAD Indicator Light" will be illuminated
indicating that the front passenger airbag is turned off
and will not inflate. If the "PAD Indicator Light" is not
illuminated, DO NOT assume the airbag is turned off
and move the child restraint to the rear seat. A deploying
passenger airbag can cause death or serious injury to a
child in a rear facing infant seat.
NOTE: Even though this vehicle is equipped with an
Occupant Classification System, children 12 years and
under should always ride buckled up in a rear seat in an
appropriate child restraint.
