SRS Airbag( Supplemental Restraint System Airbag) 85
! Conditions in which front passenger’ s SRS frontal airbag is not activated s01ah0204
The front passenger’ s SRS frontal airbag will not be activated when any of the following conditions are met regarding the front passenger’ s seat:
. The seat is empty.
. The seat is equipped with an appropriate child restraint system and an infant or a child is restrained in it.( See WARNING that follows.)
. The front passenger’ s occupant detection system is malfunctioning.
WARNING
NEVER INSTALL A REARWARD FA- CING CHILD RESTRAINT SYSTEM ON THE FRONT PASSENGER’ S SEAT EVEN IF THE FRONT PASSEN- GER’ S SRS FRONTAL AIRBAG IS DEACTIVATED. Be sure to install it correctly in the REAR seat. Also, it is strongly recommended that any child seat or booster seat be installed in the REAR seat, and that even children who have outgrown a child restraint system be also seated in the REAR seat. This is because children sitting in the front passenger’ s seat may be killed or severely
injured should the front passenger’ s SRS frontal airbag deploy. REAR seats are the safest place for children.
CAUTION
When the front passenger’ s seat is occupied by an infant in an appropriate child restraint system, observe the following precautions. Failure to do so may increase the load on the front passenger’ s seat, activating the front passenger’ s SRS frontal airbag even though that seat is occupied by an infant.
. Do not place any article on the seat other than the infant in the child restraint system.
. Do not place more than one infant in the child restraint system.
. Do not install any accessory such as a table or TV onto the seatback.
. Do not store a heavy load in the seatback pocket.
. Do not allow the rear seat occupant to place his / her hands or legs on the front passenger’ s seatback, or allow him / her to pull
the seatback.
