How the SRS Indicator Works The SRS indicator alerts you to a potential problem


with your airbags or seat belt tensioners.


When you turn the ignition switch to ON (II), this indicator will come on briefly then go out. This tells you the system is working properly.


If the indicator comes on at any other time, or does not come on at all, you should have the system checked by your dealer. For example:


If the SRS indicator does not come on after you turn the ignition switch to ON (II).


If the indicator stays on after the engine starts.


If the indicator comes on or flashes on and off while you drive.


Information Provided by: Additional Information About Your Airbags


If you see any of these indications, the airbags and seat belt tensioners may not work properly when you need them.


Ignoring the SRS indicator can result in serious injury or death if the airbag systems or tensioners do not work properly.


Have your vehicle checked by a dealer as soon as possible if the SRS indicator alerts you to a possible problem.

Additional Information About Your Airbags


If no one is riding in the front seat, the airbag will be automatically shut off. However, the indicator will not come on.


If the indicator comes on with no passenger in the front, or with an adult in the seat, there may be a problem with the advanced airbag system. Have the vehicle checked by the dealer as soon as possible.


The Passenger Airbag Off indicator may also come on and off repeatedly if total weight on the seat is near the airbag cutoff threshold.


If this happens, have the passenger ride properly restrained in a back seat. If the passenger must ride in front, move the seat as far to the rear as possible, and have the passenger sit upright and wear the seat belt properly.


Airbag Service Your airbag systems are virtually maintenance free, and there are no parts you can safely service. However, you must have your vehicle serviced if:


Any airbag

All Children Must Be Restrained Each year, many children are injured or killed in vehicle crashes because they are either unrestrained or not properly restrained. In fact, vehicle accidents are the number one cause of the death of children ages 12 and under.


To reduce the number of child deaths and injuries, every state and Canadian province requires that infants and children be properly restrained when they ride in a vehicle.

All Children Should Sit in a Back Seat According to accident statistics, children of all ages and sizes are safer when they are restrained in a back seat. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and Transport Canada recommend that all children age 12 and under be properly restrained in a back seat.


Children who ride in back are less likely to be injured by striking interior vehicle parts during a collision or hard braking. Also, children cannot be injured by an inflating front airbag when they ride in the back.


The Passenger’s Front Airbag Can Pose Serious Risks Front airbags have been designed to help protect adults in a moderate to severe frontal collision. To do this the passenger’s front airbag is quite large, and it can inflate with enough force to cause very serious injuries.


Even though your vehicle has an advanced front airbag system, which can automatically turn the passenger’s front airbag off (see page guidelines below.


), please follow the

Information Provided by: Protecting Children General Guidelines



If You Must Drive with Several Children Your vehicle has two rows of back seats where children can be properly restrained. If you ever have to carry a group of children, and a child must ride in front:


If a Child Requires Close Attention Many parents say they prefer to put an infant or small child in the front passenger seat so they can watch the child, or because the child requires attention.


If a child requires close physical attention or frequent visual contact, we strongly recommend that another adult ride with the child in a back seat. The back seat is far safer for a child than the front.


Place the largest child in the front seat, provided the child is large enough to wear the lap/shoulder belt properly (see page


52


).


Move the vehicle seat as far to the rear as possible (see page


13


).


Placing a child in the front seat exposes the child to hazards in a frontal collision, and paying close attention to a child distracts the driver from the important tasks of driving, placing both of you at risk.


Have the child sit upright and well back in the seat (see page


19


).


Make sure the seat belt is properly positioned and secured (see page 16


).

Protecting Infants


Two types of seats may be used: a seat designed exclusively for infants, or a convertible seat used in the rear- facing, reclining mode.


Donotputarear-facingchildseatin If placed aforward-facingposition. facing forward, an infant could be very seriously injured during a frontal collision.


ChildSeatType An infant must be properly restrained in a rear-facing, reclining child seat until the child reaches the seat maker’s weight or height limit for the seat and the child is at least one year old.


Only a rear-facing child seat provides proper support for a baby’s head, neck, and back.


ChildSeatPlacement A rear-facing child seat can be placed in any seating position in the back seat, but not in the front. Never put a rear-facing child seat in the front seat.


If the passenger’s front airbag inflates, it can hit the back of the child seat with enough force to kill or seriously injure an infant.


When properly installed, a rear- facing child seat may prevent the driver or a front passenger from moving the seat as far back as recommended, or from locking the seat-back in the desired position.


Or, it can interfere with proper operation of the passenger’s advanced front airbag system.


CONTINUED


41


Information Provided by: Protecting Infants and Small Children


In any situation, we strongly recommend that you install the child seat directly behind the front passenger’s seat, move the seat as far forward as needed, and leave it unoccupied. Or, you may wish to get a smaller rear-facing child seat.


Placing a rear-facing child seat in the front seat can result in serious injury or death during a collision.


Always place a rear-facing child seat in the back seat, not the front.


42


Protecting Small Children


ChildSeatPlacement We strongly recommend placing a forward-facing child seat in a back seat, not the front.


Even with advanced front airbags, which can automatically turn the passenger’s front airbag off (see page place for a small child.


), a back seat is the safest


29


ChildSeatType A child who is at least one year old, and who fits within the child seat maker’s weight and height limits, should be restrained in a forward- facing, upright child seat.


Of the different seats available, we recommend those that have a five- point harness system as shown.


Information Provided by: Protecting Infants and Small Children, Selecting a Child Seat


If it is necessary to put a forward- facing child seat in the front, move the vehicle seat as far to the rear as possible, be sure the child seat is firmly secured to the vehicle, and the child is properly strapped in the seat.


Selecting a Child Seat When buying a child seat, you need to choose either a conventional child seat, or one designed for use with the Lower Anchors and Tethers for Children (LATCH) system.


Placing a forward-facing child seat in the front seat can result in serious injury or death if the front airbag inflates.


If you must place a forward- facing child seat in front, move the vehicle seat as far back as possible, and properly restrain the child.


Conventional child seats must be secured to a vehicle with a seat belt, whereas LATCH-compatible seats are secured by attaching the seat to hardware built into the two second- row seat and the center seating position of the third row.


Since LATCH-compatible child seats are easier to install and reduce the possibility of improper installation, we recommend selecting this style.


We also recommend selecting a LATCH-compatible seat with a rigid, rather than a flexible, anchor (see page


45


).


In seating positions and vehicles not equipped with LATCH, a LATCH- compatible child seat can be installed using a seat belt.


CONTINUED

A child seat secured with a seat belt should be installed as firmly as possible. However, it does not need to be ‘‘rock solid.’’ Some side-to-side


movement can be expected and should not reduce the child seat’s effectiveness.


If the child seat is not secure, try installing it in a different seating position, or use a different style of child seat that can be firmly secured.


3.


Securethechildinthechildseat. Make sure the child is properly strapped in the child seat according to the child seat maker’s instructions. A child who is not properly secured in a child seat can be seriously injured in a crash.


The following pages provide guidelines on how to properly install a child seat. A forward-facing child seat is used in all examples, but the instructions are the same for rear- facing child seats.


Information Provided by: Installing a Child Seat with LATCH Your vehicle is equipped with LATCH (Lower Anchors and Tethers for Children) in the two second row seats and the center seating position of the third row.


The lower anchors are located between the seat-back and seat bottom, and are to be used only with a child seat designed for use with LATCH.


The location of each lower anchor is indicated by a small button above the anchor point.

Information Provided by: Installing a Child Seat


Installing a Child Seat with a Lap/ Shoulder Belt When not using the LATCH system, all child seats must be secured to the vehicle with the lap part of a lap/ shoulder belt.


In addition, the lap/shoulder belts in all seating positions except the driver’s have a locking mechanism that must be activated to secure a child seat.


If you intend to install a child seat in the center seating position of the third row, make sure the detachable seat belt anchor is securely latched.

4.


After confirming that the belt is locked, grab the shoulder part of the belt near the buckle, and pull up to remove any slack from the lap part of the belt. Remember, if the lap part of the belt is not tight, the child seat will not be secure.


To remove slack, it may help to put weight on the child seat, or push on the back of the seat while pulling up on the belt.


5.


Push and pull the child seat forward and from side-to-side to verify that it is firmly secured. If the child seat is not secure, unlatch the belt, allow it to retract fully, then repeat these steps.


To deactivate the locking mechanism and remove a child seat, unlatch the buckle, unroute the seat belt, and let the belt fully retract.

Protecting Larger Children When a child reaches the recommended weight or height limit for a forward-facing child seat, the child should sit in a back seat on a booster seat and wear a lap/shoulder belt.


The following pages give instructions on how to check proper seat belt fit, what kind of booster seat to use if one is needed, and important precautions for a child who must sit in front.


CONTINUED


51


Information Provided by: Checking Seat Belt Fit


Protecting Larger Children


Allowing a child age 12 or under to sit in front can result in injury or death if the passenger’s front airbag inflates.


If a child must ride in front, move the vehicle seat as far back as possible, use a booster seat if needed, have the child sit up properly and wear the seat belt properly.


To determine if a lap/shoulder belt properly fits a child, have the child put on the seat belt, then ask yourself:


1.


Does the child sit all the way back against the seat?


2.


Do the child’s knees bend comfortably over the edge of the seat?


52


3.


Does the shoulder belt cross between the child’s neck and arm?


4.


Is the lap part of the belt as low as possible, touching the child’s thighs?


5.


Will the child be able to stay seated like this for the whole trip?


If you answer yes to all these questions, the child is ready to wear the lap/shoulder belt correctly. If you answer no to any question, the child needs to ride on a booster seat.


Information Provided by: Using a Booster Seat


A child who has outgrown a forward- facing child seat should ride in a back seat and use a booster seat until the lap/shoulder belt fits them properly without the booster.


Some states also require children to use a booster seat until they reach a given age or weight (e.g., 6 years or 60 lbs). Be sure to check current laws in the state or states where you intend to drive.


Protecting Larger Children


Booster seats can be high-back or low-back. Whichever style you select, make sure the booster meets federal safety standards (see page ) and that you follow the booster seat maker’s instructions.


37


If a child who uses a booster seat must ride in front, move the vehicle seat as far to the rear as possible, and be sure the child is wearing the seat belt properly.


A child may continue using a booster seat until the tops of their ears are even with the top of the vehicle’s or booster’s seat-back. A child of this height should be tall enough to use the lap/shoulder belt without a booster seat.


When Can a Larger Child Sit in Front The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and Transport Canada recommend that all children age 12 and under be properly restrained in a back seat.


If the passenger’s airbag inflates in a moderate to severe frontal collision, the airbag can cause serious injuries to a child who is unrestrained, improperly restrained, sitting too close to the airbag, or out of position.


A side airbag also poses risks. If any part of a larger child’s body is in the path of a deploying side airbag, the child could receive possibly serious injuries.


53


Information Provided by: Protecting Larger Children


Of course, children vary widely. And while age may be one indicator of when a child can safely ride in the front, there are other important factors you should consider.

Maturity To safely ride in front, a child must be able to follow the rules, including sitting properly, and wearing the seat belt properly throughout a ride.


If you decide that a child can safely ride up front, be sure to:


Carefully read the owner’s manual, and make sure you understand all seat belt instructions and all safety information.


Move the vehicle seat to the rear- most position.


Have the child sit up straight, back against the seat, and feet on or near the floor.


Check that the child’s seat belt is properly and securely positioned.


Supervise the child. Even mature children sometimes need to be reminded to fasten the seat belts or sit properly.
