WARNING
We recommend that a child restraint seat be installed in the
rear seat, even if the front pas-
senger's air bag ON/OFF switch
is set to “OFF”. To ensure the
safety of your child, the front
passenger’s air bag must be
deactivated when it should be
necessary to install a child
restraint seat on the front pas-
senger seat in exceptional cir-cumstances.

Front passenger’s airbag (if equipped)
Front passenger’s airbag is stored in
the instrument panel on the glove box.
Since you cannot anticipate which
airbags will deploy or from what
direction, never put any objects or
ornaments on the instrument panel.
Front passenger’s air bagON/OFF switch (for Europe, if equipped)
The front passenger’s air bag can be
deactivated by the front passenger’s
air bag ON/OFF switch if a child
restraint is installed on the front pas-senger's seat or if the front passen-
ger's seat is unoccupied by a person.
To ensure the safety of your child,
the front passenger’s air bag must be
deactivated when it should be neces-
sary to install a rearward facing childseat on the front passenger seat in
exceptional circumstances.
WARNING
 You must always sit as far back from the steering wheel
airbag as possible (chest at
least 250 mm (10 inches) away
from the steering wheel), while
still maintaining a comfortable
seating position for good
vehicle control, in order to
reduce the risk of injury ordeath in a collision.
 Never place objects over the airbag storage compartments
or between the airbags and
yourself. Due to the speed and
force of the airbag inflation,
such objects could hit your
body at high speed and cause
severe bodily injury and evendeath.
 Do not put stickers or orna- ments on the steering wheel
cover. These may interfere
with the deployment of the
airbag.

WARNING
 The front seat passenger’s airbag is much larger than the
steering wheel airbag and
inflates with considerably
more force. It can seriously
hurt or kill a passenger who is
not in the proper position and
wearing the safety belt proper-
ly. The front passengers
should always move their seat
as far back as practical and sit
back in their seat.
 It is essential that the front passengers always wear their
safety belts, even when the
vehicle is moving in a parking
lot or up a driveway into
garage. (Continued)(Continued)
 Even though your vehicle isequipped with the front pas-
senger's air bag ON/OFF
switch, do not install a child
restraint system in the front
passenger's seat. A child
restraint system must never
be placed in the front seat.
Children who are too large for
child restraint systems should
always occupy the rear seat
and use the available
lap/shoulder belts. Children
are afforded the most safety in
the event of an accident when
they are restrained by a prop-er restraint system in the rearseat.
 As soon as the child seat is no longer needed on the front
passenger's seat, reactivate
the front passenger's air bag.WARNING
 The driver is responsible for the proper position of the
front passenger’s air bag
ON/OFF switch.
 Deactivate the front passen- ger's air bag only when the
ignition switch is switched off,
or the malfunction may occur
in the SRS Control Module.
And there may be a danger
that the driver's and/or front
passenger’s and/or side and
curtain air bag may fail to trig-
ger, or not trigger correctlyduring a collision.
 Never install a rearward facing child seat on the front passen-
ger's seat unless the front
passenger's air bag has been
deactivated. The infant or child
could be severely injured or
killed by an air bag deploy-ment in case of an accident. (Continued)

Side airbag (if equipped) Side airbags are stored in the left
side of the driver’s seat and right side
of the front passenger’s seat. If airbag inflation conditions are met
(side collision), they will inflate.

(Continued)
 If driver brakes the vehicle
heavily in an urgent situa-
tions, occupants will be
thrown forward. If front pas-
sengers are not wearing the
safety belts, they will be
directly in front of the storage
compartment when inflation
occurs. In that situation, seri-
ous injury or death is possi-
ble.
 Never allow front passenger to put their hands or feet onthe instrument panel or put
their face close to the instru-
ment panel. The airbag will
impact the front passengerwhen it inflates.
(Continued)(Continued)
 Never allow children/old and feeble persons/pregnant
women to sit on the front pas-
senger’s seat. Do not put child
restraint system on the front
passenger’s seat either. They
may be seriously injured by
the airbag inflation when
airbag deploys.
 Do not put objects or stickers on the instrument panel. Do
not apply any accessory on
the front windshield glass ordo not install aftermarket mir-
rors or accessories on the fac-
tory installed rearview mirror.
These may interfere with the
deployment of airbag inflation
or could hit your body at high
speed and cause severe bodi-
ly injury and even death.

Installing a child restraint on a
front passenger seat is forbid-den.
Never place a rear-facing child
restraint in the front passenger seat.
If the airbag deploys, it would impact
the rear-facing child restraint, caus-
ing serious or fatal injury.
In addition, do not place front-facing
child restraint in the front passenger
seat either. If the front passenger
airbag inflates, it would cause seri-
ous or fatal injuries to the improperly
positioned or improperly restrainedchild.
WARNING
Never put child restraint in the
front passenger seat. If the front
passenger airbag inflates, it
would cause serious or fatalinjuries.WARNING
When the airbags deploy, the
airbag related parts in steeringwheel and/or instrument paneland/or in the outer sides of the
front seats are very hot. To pre-
vent injury, do not touch the
airbag storage areas internal
components immediately after
an airbag has inflated.
