Your vehicle is equipped with ADVANCED AIRBAGS designed based
on  the  US  motor  vehicle  safety  standards  (FMVSS208).  The  airbag
sensor  assembly  (ECU)  controls  airbag  deployment  based  on  infor-
mation  obtained  from  the  sensors  etc.  shown  in  the  system  compo -
nents  diagram  above.  This  informat ion  includes  crash  severity  and
occupant  information.  As  the  airbags  deploy,  a  chemical  reactio n  in
the inflators quickly fills the  airbags with non-toxic gas to h elp restrain
the motion of t he occupants.

■There is a malfunction in the system
*1: The  system  judges  a  person  of  adult  size  as  an  adult.  When  a  s
maller
adult  sits  in  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 is wearing a seat belt.
*3: In the event the front passenger does not wear a seat belt.
*4: For some children, child in seat, child in booster seat or chi ld in convert-
ible  seat,  the  system  may  not  recognize  him/her  as  a  child.  Fac tors
which may affect this can be the physique or posture.
*5: Never install a rear-facing child restraint system on the front passenger seat. A forward-facing child restraint system should only be installed on
the front passenger seat when it is unavoidable. ( P. 54)
*6: In case the indicator light is not illuminated, consult this manual on how
to install the child restraint system properly. ( P. 56)
