Here are some simple steps you can take to minimize
the risk of harm from a deploying airbag:
1. An infant up to one year or approximately 20 lbs (9 kg)
should never ride in the vehicle because in the event of a
crash, the rear-facing child seat places them too close to
the passenger airbag.
2. An infant in a rear-facing child safety seat, designed
for a child up to one year or approximately 20 lbs (9 kg),
should never ride in the front seat of a vehicle equipped
with a passenger airbag, unless the airbag is shut OFF. An
airbag deployment can cause severe injury or death to an
infant in this position. Refer to “Passenger Airbag Dis-
abled (PAD) Indicator Light”.
3. A child who is not big enough to wear the vehicle seat
belt properly should be secured in a child safety seat or
booster seat. (Refer to “Child Restraints”)
4. An older child who does not use a child safety seat or
booster seat should ride buckled properly in their seat.
5. Never allow a child to place the shoulder belt behind
them or under the arm.
6. Never allow a child to lean forward toward the
instrument panel as a passenger airbag deployment
could cause severe injury or death to a child in this
position.
7. For a child from 1 to 12 years old: Move the passenger
seat as far back as possible. For a child from 20 to 60 lbs
(9 kg to 27 kg): Secure them in the appropriate child
