Child Restraint: Description and Operation
CHILD SEAT RESTRAINT SYSTEM
CAUTION: A child in a rear-facing child restraint can be seriously injured if the right-front passengers air bag inflates. This is because the
back of a rear-facing child restraint would be very close to the inflating air bag. NEVER use a rear-facing child restraint in this vehicle. If a
forward-facing child restraint is suitable for your child, ALWAYS move the front passenger seat as far back as it will go and then install the
child restraint. Be sure the child restraint position does not conflict with any additional requirements provided by the manufacture. For more
information, refer to the vehicle owners manual and the instruction that came with the child restraint.
The child seat may only be used in a forward facing seating location. The child seat should be installed and secured according to the manufacturer's
directions. If the child seat has a top strap, the seat will need to be anchored. Passengers should not be allowed to sit at locations where the seat belts are
being used to secure the child seat.
All vehicles are equipped with a dual-mode type retractor with emergency and automatic locking features. The automatic locking feature is for restraint
of a child seat. The child seat can be secured by pulling the seat belt all the way out to lock it. Then, tighten the seat belt around the child seat.
If a child seat is to be used in the second seat position, a special dealer-installed anchor must be used in order to anchor the child seat top strap. (This
only applies to the seats designed with the top strap provision and for the vehicles sold in Canada). In order to ensure the correct top strap angle, the
child seat is only to be used at the seating position for which the top strap anchor is installed.
The inflatable restraint sensing and diagnostic module (SDM) receives a discrete input from the left front seat belt switch. The left front seat belt switch
is closed when the seat belt is unbuckled.
