WARNING
Q When installing a child restraint sys-
tem
For safety reasons, always install a child
restraint system in a rear seat. In the
event that the rear seat cannot be used,
the front seat can be used as long as the
airbag manual on-off system is set to
“OFF”.
If the airbag manual on-off system is left
on, the strong impact of the airbag
deployment (inflation) may cause serious
injury or even death.
