Essential Safety Equipment
If you cannot put all children in the rear seat, at least put the smallest
children in the rear and be sure the largest child up front use s a front-
facing child-restraint system.
NEVER put a rear-facing child-restraint system on the front pas senger
seat whether your vehicle is equ ipped with a occupant classification
sensor or not.
This seat is also not set up for tethered child-restraint syste ms, put
them in one of the rear seat posit ions set up with tether anchors.
Likewise the LATCH child-restrain t system cannot be secured in the
front passenger’s se at and should be used in the rear seat.
Do not allow anyone to lean over or against the side window sin ce
your vehicle has side and curt ain air bags, it could cause serious inju-
ries to an out of position occup ant. As children more often sleep in
cars, it is better to pu t them in the rear seat.
If installing the child-restraint system on the front seat is u navoidable,
follow these instructions when using a front-facing child-restraint sys-
tem in the front passenger’s seat.
●To check if your front seats have side air bags:
The vehicle equipped with side air bag will have a “SRS AIRBAG” tag on the
outboard shoulder of the front seats.
● To check if your vehicle has curtain air bags:
The vehicle equipped with curtain air bag will have an “SRS AIR BAG” mark-
ing on the window pillars along the roof edge.
If You Must Use a Child-Restrai nt System in the Front Seat for

1-4. SRS Air Bags
Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) Pre-
cautions
The front and side supplemental r estraint systems (SRS) include dif-
ferent types of air bags. Please verify the different types of air bags
which are equipped on your vehicl e by locating the “SRS AIRBAG”
location indicators. These indicators are visible in the area w here the
air bags are installed.
The air bags are installed in the following locations:
• The steering wheel hub (driver air bag)
• The front passenger dashboard (front passenger air bag)
• The outboard sides of the fron t seatbacks (side air bags)
• The front and rear window pilla rs, and the roof edge along both
sides (curtain air bags)
Vehicles with the Front Passenger Occupant Classification System
have a sensor which detects an impending roll-over accident.
The air bag supplemental restraint systems are designed to provide
supplemental protection in certa in situations so seat belts are always
important in the following ways:
Without seat belt usage, the ai r bags cannot provide adequate p rotec-
tion during an accident. Seat belt usag e is necessary to:
• Keep the occupant from being thr own into an inflating air bag.
• Reduce the possibility of injur ies during an accident that is not
designed for air bag inflati on, such as rear impact.
• Reduce the possibility of injuries in frontal, near frontal or side colli-
sions or roll-over accidents that are not severe enough to acti vate
the air bags.
• Reduce the possibility of being thrown from your vehicle.
• Reduce the possibility of injurie s to lower body and legs duri ng an
accident because the ai r bags provide no protection to these pa rts
of the body.
• Hold the driver in a position wh ich allows better control of the vehi-
cle.
