Do not allow a child or anyone to lean over
or against the side window of a vehicle
with side and curtain air bags:
It is dangerous to allow anyone to lean
over or against the side window, the area
of the front passenger seat, the front and
rear window pillars and the roof edge
along both sides from which the side and
curtain air bags deploy, even if a
child-restraint system is used. The impact
of inflation from a side or curtain air bag
could cause serious injury or death to an
out of position child. Furthermore, leaning
over or against the front door could block
the side and curtain air bags and eliminate
the advantages of supplemental
protection. With the front air bag and the
additional side air bag that comes out of
the front seat, the rear seat is always a
better location for children. Take special
care not to allow a child to lean over or
against the side window, even if the child is
seated in a child-restraint system.
Always remove the head restraint and
install child-restraint system (except when
installing a backless booster seat):
Installing a child-restraint system without
removing the head restraint is dangerous.
The child-restraint system cannot be
installed correctly which may result in
death or injury to the child in a collision.Always install the head restraint and adjust
it to the appropriate position after
removing the child-restraint system:
Driving with the head restraint removed is
dangerous as impact to the occupant's
head cannot be prevented during
emergency braking or in a collision, which
could result in a serious accident, injury or
death.
Refer to Head Restraints on page 2-17.
Front Passenger's Seat Child-Restraint
System Installation (With Front
Passenger Occupant Classification
System)
1. Make sure the ignition is switched off.
2. Slide the seat as fa r back as possible.
3. Remove the head restraint. However,
when installing a backless booster seat,
always install the vehicle head restraint
to the seat where the backless booster
seat is installed.
4. Place the child-restraint system on the
seat without putting your weight on the
seat and fasten the seat belt. See the
manufacturer's instructions on the
child-restraint syst em for belt routing
instructions.

6. Push the child-restraint system firmlyinto the vehicle seat. Be sure the belt
retracts as snugly as possible. A
clicking noise from the retractor will
be heard during retraction if the system
is in automatic locking mode. If the
belt does not lock the seat down tight,
repeat the previous step and also this
one.
NOTE
Inspect this function before each use
of the child-rest raint system. You
should not be able to pull the
shoulder belt out of the retractor
while the system is in the automatic
locking mode. When you remove the
child-restraint system, be sure the
belt fully retracts to return the
system to emergency locking mode
before occupants use the seat belts.
Follow the child- restraint system
manufacturer's instructions
carefully.
Depending on the type of
child-restraint sy stem, it may not
employ seat belts which are in
automatic locking mode.
7. Seat your child safely in the
child-restraint sy stem and secure the
child according to the instructions
from the child-restraint system
manufacturer.
8. Switch the ignition ON and make sure the front passenger air bag deactivation
indicator light illuminates after
installing a child-restraint system on
the front passenger seat.
If the front passenger air bag
deactivation indicator light does not
illuminate, remove the child-restraint
system, switch the i gnition to OFF, and
then re-install th e child-restraint
system (page 2-72).

If your vehicle is also equipped with a
front passenger occupant classification
system, refer to the Front Passenger
Occupant Classification System (page
2-71) for details.
If your vehicle is equipped with a front
passenger occupant classification system,
the front passenger air bag deactivation
indicator light illuminates for a specified
time after the ignition is switched ON.


Small children must be protected by a
child-restraint system as stipulated by law
in every state and province. In certain
states and provinces, larger children must
use a child-restraint system (page 2-32).

Carefully consider wh ich child-restraint
system is necessary for your child and
follow the installation directions in this
Owner's Manual as well as the
child-restraint syst em manufacturer's
instructions.
WA R N I N G
Seat belts must be worn in air bag
equipped vehicles:
Depending only on the air bags for
protection during an accident is
dangerous. Alone, air bags may not
prevent serious injuries. The appropriate air
bags can be expected to inflate only in the
first accident, such as frontal, near frontal
or side collisions or roll-over accidents that
are at least moderate. Vehicle occupants
should always wear seat belts.

Children should not ride in the front
passenger seat:
Placing a child, 12 years or under, in the
front seat is dangerous. The child could be
hit by a deploying air bag and be seriously
injured or even killed. A sleeping child is
more likely to lean against the door and be
hit by the side air bag in moderate collision
to the front-passenger side of the vehicle.
Whenever possible, always secure a child
12 years and under on the rear seats with
an appropriate child-restraint system for
the child's age and size.

▼Front Passenger Seat Weight
Sensors
Your vehicle is equipped with a front
passenger seat weight sensors as a part of
the supplemental restraint system. These
sensors are located under both of the front
passenger seat rails. These sensors
determine the total
seated weight on the
front passenger seat and monitor the seat
belt buckle for the front passenger seat.
The SAS unit is designed to prevent the
front passenger front and side air bags and
knee air bags, and seat belt pretensioner
system from deploying if the front
passenger air bag deactivation indicator
light illuminates.
To reduce the chance of injuries caused by
deployment of the fr ont passenger air bag,
the system deactivates the front passenger
front and side air bags and knee air bags,
and also the seat belt pretensioner system
when the front passenger air bag
deactivation indicator light illuminates.
Refer to the following table for the front
passenger air bag deactivation indicator
light illumination conditions.

This system shuts off the front passenger
front and side air bags and knee air bags,
and seat belt pretensioner system, so make
sure the front passenger air bag
deactivation indicator light illuminates
according to the following table.

The air bag/front seat belt pretensioner
system warning light flashes and the front
passenger air bag deactivation indicator
light illuminates if the sensors have a
possible malfunction. If this happens, the
front passenger front and side air bags and
knee air bags, and seat belt pretensioner
system will not deploy.
Front passenger air bag deactivation
indicator light
This indicator light illuminates to remind
you that the front passenger front and side
air bags and knee air bags, and seat belt
pretensioners will not deploy during a
collision.
If the front passenger weight sensors are
normal, the indicator light illuminates
when the ignition is switched ON. The
light turns off after a few seconds. Then,
the indicator light illuminates or is off
under the following conditions:
