*1: The system judges a person of adult size as an adult. When a smaller adult sits in the front passenger seat, the system may
recognize him/her as a child depending on his/her physique and posture.
*2: When a larger child who has outgrown a child restraint system sits in the front passenger seat, the system may recognize him/her
as an adult depending on his/her physique or posture.
*3: 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. (See “Child restraint” on page 52 as for installing the child
restraint system.)
*4: When the front passenger does not wear a seat belt.
*5: In case indicator is not illuminated, see “Child restraint” on page 52 as for installing the child restraint system properly.
