Securing Child Restraints
(Front Passenger Seat)
This vehicle has airbags. A rear
seat is a safer place to secure a
forward-facing child restraint. See
Where to Put the Restraint on
page 3‑48.
In addition, the vehicle has a
passenger sensing system which
is designed to turn off the right
front passenger frontal airbag and
seat‐mounted side impact airbag
under certain conditions. See
Passenger Sensing System on
page 3‑34 andPassenger Airbag
Status Indicator on page 5‑12 for
more information, including
important safety information.
