Safety and Security

Occupant safety

앫 If you must install a rear-facing child

restraint on the front passenger seat be-

cause circumstances require you to do

so, make sure that the

59 indicator lamp is illuminat-

ed, indicating that the front passenger

front air bag is deactivated. Should the

59 indicator lamp not illumi-

nate or go out while the restraint is in-

stalled, please check installation.

Periodically check the

59 indicator lamp while driv-

ing to make sure the lamp is illuminated.

If the 59 indicator lamp goes

out or remains out, do not transport a

child on the front passenger seat until

the system has been repaired. A child in

a rear-facing child restraint on the front

passenger seat will be seriously injured

or even killed if the front passenger front

air bag inflates.

앫 If you have to place a child in a

forward-facing child restraint on the

front passenger seat, move the seat as

far back as possible, use the proper

child restraint recommended for the

age, size and weight of the child, and se-

cure child restraint with the vehicle’s

seat belt according to the child seat

manufacturer’s instructions. For

children larger than the typical

12-month-old child, the front passenger

front air bag may or may not be

activated (

컄 page 82).

Warning! G

Infants and small children should never

share a seat belt with another occupant.

During an accident, they could be crushed

between the occupant and seat belt.

A child’s risk of serious or fatal injuries is

significantly increased if the child restraints

are not properly secured in the vehicle

and/or the child is not properly secured in

the child restraint.

Children too big for a toddler restraint must

ride in seats using regular seat belts. Posi-

tion shoulder belt across chest and shoul-

der, not face or neck. A booster seat may be

necessary to achieve proper belt positioning

for children from 41 lbs until they reach a

height where a lap/shoulder belt fits

properly without a booster.
