HONDA 2006 S2000 - Owner's Manual - Manual (Page 31)

The National Highway Traffic Safety
Administration and Transport
Canada recommend that all children
age 12 and under be properly
restrained in a back seat.
Since this vehicle does not have a
back seat, we strongly recommend
that you do not carry any child who
is not large enough or mature
enough to ride in front (see page
).
Airbags have been designed to help
protect adults in a moderate to
severe frontal collision. To do this,
the passenger’s airbag is quite large
and it can inflate with enough force
to cause very serious injuries.
If the vehicle seat is too
far forward, or the child’s head is
thrown forward during a collision, an
inflating passenger’s airbag can
strike the child with enough force to
kill or very seriously injure a small
child.
If a larger child must ride in
this vehicle, see page for
important guidelines on how to
decide when a child is ready to ride
in and how to properly protect the
child.
Even though your vehicle has an
advanced airbag system, which can
automatically turn the passenger’s
airbag off (see page
), please
follow the guidelines below.
If the airbag inflates, it
can hit the back of the child seat
with enough force to kill or very
seriously injure an infant.
