CAUTION:
A child in a rear-facing child restraint can be
seriously injured or killed if the right front
passenger’s air bag inflates. This is because the
back of the rear
-facing child restraint would be
very close to the inflating air bag. Be sure to turn
off the air bag before using a rear
-facing child
restraint in the right front seat position.
Wherever you install it, be sure to secure the child
restraint properly.
Keep in mind that an unsecured child restraint can move
around in a collision or sudden stop and injure people in
the vehicle. Be sure to properly secure any child
restraint in your vehicle
-- even when no child is in it.

forward
-facing child seat and an older child riding in a
booster seat.
If a forward
-facing child seat must be secured in the
vehicle’s right front seat, the seat should be moved as far
back as possible. However, it is better to secure the
restraint in a rear seat. Never put a rear
-facing child
restraint in the right front passenger seat. Here’s why:
