The a irbag on the passenger s ide makes the front
seat a potentia lly dange rous place for a child to
ride. The front seat is not the safest place for a
chi ld in a forward-facing chi ld seat . It is a very
dangerous place for an infant or a larger child in
a rearward-facing seat.
A WARNING

child safety seat or improperly installing a
child restra int increases the risk of serious
personal inj ury and death in a crash.
- Never install rear -facing chi ld safety seats
or infant carriers on the front passenger
seat - even with an Advanced Airbag System.
A ch ild will be ser iously injured and ca n be
killed when the infla t ing air bag hits t he
child safety seat or infant carr ier with great
force and smashes the child safety seat and
child against the backrest, center armrest,
doo r or roof
