5.5.1.6. Air bag warning labels

Warning labels about the supplemental air bag system are placed in the vehicle as shown in the illustration.

The warning label (1) is located on the surface of the driver’s and/or passenger’s sun visor.

The warning label (2) is located on the side of the passenger’s side instrument panel.

The label(s) warn you not to fit a rear-facing child restraint system on the front passenger seat as such a restraint system used in this position could cause serious injury to the infant in case of air bag deployment during a collision.

The label warns:

"NEVER use a rearward facing child restraint on a seat protected by an ACTIVE AIR BAG in front of it. DEATH or SERIOUS INJURY to the CHILD can occur."

In vehicles equipped with a front-impact passenger air bag system, use a rear-facing child restraint system only on the rear seats.

When installing a child restraint system in your vehicle, always follow the child restraint system manufacturer’s instructions for installation. For additional information, see
