Seating and Safety Restraints

WARNING: This vehicle has special energy management safety belts for the driver and/or right front passenger. These particular belts are specifically designed to work with airbags to help reduce the risk of injury in a collision. The energy management safety belt is designed to give or release additional belt webbing in some accidents to reduce concentration of force on an occupant's chest and reduce the risk of certain bone fractures and injuries to underlying organs. In a crash, if the airbag is turned OFF, this energy management safety belt might permit the person wearing the belt to move forward enough to incur a serious or fatal injury. The more severe the crash, and the heavier the occupant, the greater the risk is. Be sure the airbag is turned ON for any person who does not qualify under the Transport Canada deactivation criteria.

SAFETY RESTRAINTS FOR CHILDREN

See the following sections for directions on how to properly use safety restraints for children. Also see Airbag supplemental restraint system (SRS) in this chapter for special instructions about using airbags.

Important child restraint precautions

NOTE: You are required by law to use a child-restraint system in the U.S. and Canada. Many states require that children use approved booster seats until they are eight years old. Check your local and state or provincial laws for specific requirements regarding the safety of children in your vehicle.

WARNING: Never let a passenger hold a child on his or her lap while the vehicle is moving. The passenger cannot protect the child from injury in a collision.

NOTE: Always follow the instructions and warnings that come with any infant or child restraint you might use.

WARNING: Airbags can kill or injure a child in a child seat. Never place a rear facing child seat in front of an active airbag. If you must use a forward facing child seat in the front seat, position the vehicle seat fully rearward and turn the passenger airbag off.
