rear-facing child restraints not be
transported in the vehicle, even if
the airbags are off.
Never put a rear-facing child seat in
the front. This is because the risk to
the rear-facing child is so great,
if the airbag inflates.

WARNING
A child in a rear-facing child
restraint can be seriously injured
or killed if the passenger frontal
airbag inflates. This is because
the back of the rear-facing child
restraint would be very close to
the inflating airbag. A child in a
forward-facing child restraint can
be seriously injured or killed if the
passenger frontal airbag inflates
and the passenger seat is in a
forward position.
Even if the passenger sensing
system has turned off the front
outboard passenger airbag(s), no

system is fail-safe. No one can
guarantee that an airbag will not
inflate under some unusual
circumstance, even though the
airbag(s) are off.
Secure rear-facing child restraints
in a rear seat, even if the
airbag(s) are off. If you secure a
forward-facing child restraint in
the front outboard passenger
seat, always move the seat as far
back as it will go. It is better to
secure the child restraint in a
rear seat.
If the vehicle does not have a rear
seat that will accommodate a
rear-facing child restraint, a
rear-facing child restraint should not
be installed in the vehicle, even if
the airbags are off.

Seats and Restraints
The passenger sensing system is
designed to turn off the front
outboard passenger frontal airbag
and seat-mounted side impact
airbag if:
The front outboard passenger
seat is unoccupied.
The system determines that an
infant is present in a rear-facing
infant seat.
The system determines that a
small child is present in a child
restraint.
The system determines that a
small child is present in a
booster seat.
A front outboard passenger
takes his/her weight off of the
seat for a period of time.
The front outboard passenger
seat is occupied by a smaller
person, such as a child who has
outgrown child restraints.
There is a critical problem with
the airbag system or the
passenger sensing system.
