Safety system of your vehicle
Information
Small children are best protected
from injury in an accident when
being properly restrained in the rear
seat by a child restraint system,
which meets the requirements of the
Federal Motor Vehicle Safety
Standards.
Before purchasing any child
restraint, make sure that it has a
label certifying that it meets Federal
Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 213.
The restraint must be appropriate
for your child's height and weight.
Check the label on the child
restraint for this information. Refer
to Child Restraint Systems in this
chapter.
Big child
Children, who are under age 13 but
too big for a booster seat, must
always ride in the rear seat and use
the available lap/shoulder belts. A
seat belt should be fastened over the
upper thighs and be snug across the
shoulder and chest to safely restrain
the child. Often check belt fastening.
A child's squirming may move the
belt out of position. Children are best
protected in the event of an accident
when they are restrained by a proper
restraint system and in the rear seat.
When a big child over age 13 is seat-
ed in the front seat, the child must be
securely restrained by the available
lap/shoulder belt and the seat should
be placed in the rearmost position. If
the shoulder portion of the seat belt
slightly crosses over the child's neck
or face, have the child slightly moves
leftwards. When the shoulder portion
still touches the child's face or neck,
he or she needs to be returned to an
appropriate booster seat.i
- Shoulder belts on small chil-dren
Never allow a shoulder por- tions to be fastened over a
child’s neck or face while the
vehicle is in motion.
When a seat belt is improper- ly fastened and adjusted over
a child, there is a risk of death
or serious injury.
WARNING

Children under age 13 must always
ride in rear seats and be properly
restrained to minimize the risk of
injury in an accident, a sudden stop
or a sudden maneuver. According to
the accident statistics, children are
safer when being properly restrained
in rear seats than in the front pas-
senger's seat. Even with advanced
air bag systems, children may be
seriously injured or killed. A child,
who is too big for a child restraint,
must fasten a seat belt provided.
All 50 states have child restraint
laws, which require children to travel
in approved child restraint devices.
The laws to govern and restrict chil-
dren's age, height, and weight, at
which a seat belt is allowed to use
instead of a child restraint, differ
among states. So, you should check
any specific requirements in your
state, before travelling. A child
restraint must be properly placed
and installed in a rear seat. You must
use a commercially available child
restraint, which meets the require-
ments of the Federal Motor Vehicle
Safety Standards (FMVSS).
A child restraint is generally
designed to be secured in a seat by
a lap belt, lap/shoulder belts, or a
LATCH system.
A child may be injured or killed in a
crash, when a child restraint is not
properly secured.

Safety system of your vehicle02
A child restraint must be
placed in a rear seat. Never
install a child or infant seat in
the front passenger's seat.
When an accident occurs and
the passenger-side air bag
inflates, it may severely injure
or kill an infant or a child.
Thus, always install a child
restraint in a rear seat.
When a child restraint is not in use, fasten it with a seat
belt or store it in the trunk, so
it does not fall forward in a
sudden stop or an accident.
Children may be seriously injured or killed by an inflating
air bag. All children, even who
are too big for child restraints,
must ride in a rear seat.
WARNING
A seat belt or a child restraint
easily gets hot, when it is
exposed to the sunlight in a
closed vehicle even in the mild
weather. Check the temperature
of a seat cover and buckles
before seating a child.
CAUTION

Rear-Facing child restraint
A rear-facing child restraint utilizes
the friction between the seating sur-
face and a child's back. The harness
system holds the child in place, and
keeps the child in position in an acci-
dent, and reduces the stress to the
fragile neck and spinal cord.
All children under age one must
always ride in a rear-facing child
restraint. There are several types of
rear-facing child restraints: infant-
only seats can be used only for rear-
facing. Convertible and 3-in-1 child
restraints typically have higher height
and weight limits for the rear-facing
position, allowing you to keep your
child rear-facing for a longer period
of time.Keep a child restrained in a rear-fac-
ing restraint as long as a child is
under the height/weight limits of a
child restraint. It is the best way to
keep them safe. Once your child out-
grows the rear-facing child restraint
limit, your child is ready for a forward-
facing child restraint with a harness.
Forward-Facing child restraints
A forward-facing child restraint uti-
lizes the friction between a child's
body and a harness. Keep a child
harnessed in a forward-facing child
restraint as long as the child is under
the height/weight limit of a child
restraint.
Once your child outgrows the for-
ward-facing child restraint limit, your
child is ready for a booster seat.
OVI035114N
NEVER install a child or infant
restraint in the front passen-
ger's seat. Placing a rear-facing
child restraint in front may
result in SERIOUS INJURY or
DEATH, when an inflating air
bag strikes the child restraint.
WARNING
OVI035033N

Do not modify the front seats.
Modification of the front seats
could interfere with the operation of
the SRS sensing components or
side impact air bags.
Do not place items under the
front seats. Items under the front
seats could interfere with the oper-
ation of the SRS sensing compo-
nents or wiring harnesses.
Never hold an infant or child on
your laps. The infant or child may
be seriously injured or killed in the
event of a crash. All infants and
children should be properly
restrained in an appropriate child
restraint or in a rear seat with a
seat belt.Adding equipment to or modify- ing your air bag-equipped vehi-cle
When you modify your vehicle frame,
bumper system, front-end or side-
sheet metal or ride height, this may
adversely affect the operation of your
vehicle's air bag system.
2-67
Safety system of your vehicle02
Sitting improperly or out of
position may cause occu-
pants to slant too close
towards a deploying air bag,
strike the interior structure or
be thrown from the vehicle,
resulting in serious injury or
death.
Always put a seatback upright, and seat on the cen-
ter of the seat cushion with
your seat belt fastened, legs
comfortably extended and
your feet rested on the floor.
Be careful not to impact doors, when the Engine
Start/Stop Button is ON. The
impact may cause the air bags
to inflate.
