3Never place a rear-facing child restraint in
the front passenger's seat other than that
explained in section - Passenger's front air
bag ON/OFF switch (if equipped). If the air
bag deploys, it would impact the rear-facing
child restraint, causing serious or fatal
injury.
In addition, do not place front-facing child
restraints in the front passenger’s seat
either. If the front passenger air bag
inflates, it would cause serious or fatal
injuries to the child.
If your vehicle is equipped with the passen-
ger’s front air bag ON/OFF switch, you can
activate or deactivate the front passenger’s
air bag when necessary.
For more details, please refer to 3-53 page.

Safety features of your vehicle
Curtain air bag (if equipped)Curtain air bags are located along both
sides of the roof rails above the front and
rear doors.
They are designed to help protect the
heads of the front seat occupants and
the rear outboard seat occupants in cer-
tain side impact collisions. The curtain air bags are designed to
deploy during certain side impact colli-
sions, depending on the crash severity,
angle, speed and point of impact.
 The curtain air bags do not only deploy on the side of the impact but also on
the opposite side.
 For vehicles equipped with a rollover sensor the side and curtain air bags on
both sides of the vehicle may deploy if a
rollover or possible rollover is detected.
The curtain air bags are not designed to
deploy in all side impact or rollover situ-
ations.
WARNING
 In order for side and curtain airbags to provide the best protec-
tion, both front seat occupants
and both outboard rear occu-
pants should sit in an upright
position with the seat belts prop-
erly fastened. Importantly, chil-
dren should sit in a proper child
restraint system in the rear seat.
 When children are seated in the rear outboard seats, they must be
seated in the proper child
restraint system.
Make sure to put the child
restraint system as far away from
the door side as possible, and
secure the child restraint system
in a locked position.
