Never put a child in a rear-facing child restraint in
the passenger’s seat unless the passenger
airbag status indicator shows off and the airbags
are off. Here is why:

{

CAUTION:

Even though the passenger sensing
system is designed to turn off the
passenger’s frontal airbag and side
impact airbag (if equipped) if the system
detects a rear-facing child restraint, no
system is fail-safe, and no one can
guarantee that an airbag will not deploy
under some unusual circumstance, even
though it is turned off. We recommend
that rear-facing child restraints be
transported in vehicles with a rear seat
that will accommodate a rear-facing child
restraint, whenever possible.

If the word ON or the on symbol is lit on the
passenger airbag status indicator, it means that
the passenger’s frontal airbag and side impact
airbag are enabled (may inflate).

{

CAUTION:

If the on indicator comes on when you have
a rear-facing child restraint installed in the
passenger’s seat, it means that the
passenger sensing system has not turned
off the passenger’s frontal airbag and side
impact airbag (if equipped). A child in a
rear-facing child restraint can be seriously
injured or killed if the passenger’s airbag
inflates. This is because the back of the
rear-facing child restraint would be very
close to the inflating airbag. Do not use a
rear-facing child restraint in the
passenger’s seat if the airbag is turned on.
