belt. Front and outboard 2nd-row seat belts include height-adjustable shoulder
belts and lower points attached to seat frames.

bag when a BabySmart-compatible child seat is properly installed. Universal

windows on the affected side of the car.
Occupancy sensor prevents the front passenger's front and side-impact air bags
from deploying if the seat is unoccupied. An ETR will not deploy if seat belt is
unfastened.
Each occupant is provided with a head restraint that adjusts up-down and
fore-aft.

MUST NOT USE THE FRONT SEAT UNLESS THE CHILD IS BELTED INTO AN APPROPRIATE,
PROPERLY INSTALLED BABYSMART-COMPATIBLE CHILD SEAT. A CHILD UNDER 13 WHO IS TOO
LARGE FOR A CHILD SEAT MUST NOT USE THE FRONT SEAT. SEE OPERATOR'S MANUAL FOR
