COMFORT ADJUSTMENT
105
Never put a rear–facing child restraint system on the front
seat. In the event of an accident, the force of the rapid
inflation of the airbag can cause death or serious injury if
a rear–facing child restraint system is put on the front seat.
Unless it is unavoidable, do not put a forward–facing child
restraint system on the front seat.
A forward–facing child restraint system should be put on
the front seat only when it is unavoidable. Always move the
seat as far back as possible, because the force of a deploying
airbag could cause death or serious injury to the child.
Make sure you have complied with all installation
instructions provided by the child restraint manufacturer
and that the system is properly secured. Do not allow the
child to lean over the front door or around the front door
even if the child is seated in a child restraint system. It is
dangerous if the side airbag inflates, and the impact could
cause death or serious injury to the child.
Child restraint system
A child restraint system for a small child or baby must itself be
properly restrained on the seat with either the lap belt or the lap
portion of the lap/shoulder belt. You must carefully consult the
manufacturer’s instructions which accompany by your child
restraint system.
To provide proper restraint, use a child restraint system following the
manufacturer’s instructions about the appropriate age and size of the
child for the restraint system.
Install the child restraint system correctly following the instructions
provided by its manufacturer of the system. General directions are
also provided under the following illustrations.
The child restraint system should be installed on the rear seat.
According to accident statistics, the child is safer when properly
restrained in the rear seat than in the front seat.
CAUTION
Never put a rear–facing child restraint system on the front
seat. In the event of an accident, the force of the rapid
inflation of the airbag can cause death or serious injury if
a rear–facing child restraint system is put on the front seat.
Unless it is unavoidable, do not put a forward–facing child
restraint system on the front seat.
