■There is a malfunction in the system
*1: The system judges a person of adult size as an adult. When a smaller adult sitsin the front passenger seat, the system may not recognize him/her as an adult
depending on his/her physique and posture.
*2: In the event the front passenger does not wear a seat belt
*3: For some children, child in seat, child in booster seat or child in convertible seat, the system may not recognize him/her as a child. Factors which may
affect this can be the physique or posture.
*4: Never install a rear-facing child restraint system on the front passenger seat. Aforward-facing child restraint system shou ld only be installed on the front pas-
senger seat when it is unavoidable. ( P. 5 7 )
*5: In case the indicator light is not illumi nated, consult this manual on how to
install the child restraint system properly. ( P. 6 1 )
