Passenger Occupant Classi; Do not allow a child or anyone to; lean over to or against the side- Page 62

Do not allow a child or anyone to

lean over to or against the side

window of a vehicle with side and

curtain air bags:

It is dangerous to allow anyone to lean

over to 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 in

fl

ation from a side or

curtain air bag could cause serious

injury or death to an out of position

child. Furthermore, leaning over to or

against the front door could block the

side and curtain air bags and eliminate

the advantages of supplemental

protection. Because the front seats are

equipped with front air bags, the rear

seat is always a better location for

children. Take special care not to allow

a child to lean over to 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.
