emergency locking mode before

occupants use the seat belts.

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.

7. Seat your child safely in the

child-restraint system and secure

the child according to the

instructions from the child-restraint

system manufacturer.

8. Switch the ignition ON and make

sure the front passenger air bag

deactivation indicator light

illuminates after installing a

If the front passenger air bag

deactivation indicator light does

not illuminate, remove the

child-restraint system, switch the

ignition to OFF, and then re-install

the child-restraint system (page

2-71).
