Do not allow a child 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. If the vehicle is
equipped with side and curtain air
bags, the impact of inflation could
cause serious injury or death to the
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. Do not allow a
child to lean over or against the side
window, even if the child is seated in
a child-restraint system.

Front Passenger's Seat Child-
Restraint System Installation

1. Slide the seat as far back as possible.

2. Secure the child-restraint system with

the lap portion of the lap/shoulder belt.
See the manufacturer's instructions on
the child-restraint system for belt
routing instructions.

3. To get the retractor into the automatic

locking mode, pull the shoulder belt
portion of the seat belt until the entire
length of the belt is out of the retractor.

4. Push the child-restraint system firmly

into the vehicle seat. Be sure the belt
retracts as snugly as possible. Clicking
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

l

Inspect this function before each use of the
child-restraint 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.

l

Follow the child-restraint system
manufacturer's instructions carefully.
Depending on the type of child-restraint
system, it may not employ seat belts which
are in automatic locking mode.

5. Make sure the front passenger air bag

deactivation indicator light illuminates
after installing a child-restraint system
on the front passenger seat.
Refer to Front passenger air bag
deactivation indicator light on page
2-50.
