Essential Safety Equipment

Child Restraint

Do not install a front-facing child-restraint system on the front passenger seat unless it is unavoidable:

In a collision, the force of a deploying air bag could cause serious injury or death to the child. If installing a front-facing child-restraint system on the front passenger seat is unavoidable, move the front passenger seat as far back as possible.

Seating a child in a child-restraint system on the front passenger seat is dangerous: Your vehicle is equipped with front passenger seat weight sensors. Even with the front passenger seat weight sensors, if you must use the front passenger seat to seat a child, using a child in a child-restraint system on the front passenger seat under the following conditions increases the danger of the front passenger air bag deploying and could result in serious injury or death to the child.

ØThe front passenger air bag deactivation indicator light does not illuminate when seating a child in the child-restraint system.

ØLuggage or other items are placed on the seat with the child in the child-restraint system.

ØA rear passenger or luggage pushing or pulling down on the front passenger seatback.

ØA rear passenger puts their feet on the front seat rails.

ØLuggage or other items are placed on the seatback or hung on the head restraint.

ØThe seat is washed.

ØLiquids are spilled on the seat.

ØThe front passenger seat is moved backward, pushing into luggage or other items placed behind it.

ØThe front passenger seatback contacts the rear seat.

ØLuggage or other items are placed between the front passenger seat and driver seat.

ØAny accessories, which might increase the total seated weight on the front passenger seat, are attached to the front passenger seat.

The designated positions with seat belts on the rear seats are the safest places for children. Always use seat belts and child restraints.
