HONDA 2005 S2000 - Owner's Manual - Manual (Page 26)

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
).
Front 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 airbag inflates, it
can hit the back of the child seat
with enough force to kill or very
seriously injure an infant.
If the vehicle seat is too
far forward, or the child’s head is
thrown forward during a collision, an
inflating front 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 front and how to properly protect
the child.
