Baby Seat Installation Position
A baby seat is used in the rear-facing
position only.
Refer to the table, "Child-Restraint System
Suitability for Various Seat Positions"
for baby seat installation position (page

WARNING
Always install a baby seat in the correct
seat position:
Installing a baby seat without fi rst
consulting the table “Child-Restraint
System Suitability for Various Seat
Positions” is dangerous. A baby seat
installed on the wrong seat position
cannot be properly secured. In a
collision, the child could hit something
or someone in the vehicle and be
seriously injured or even killed.
WARNING
Never use a rear-facing child-restraint
system on the passenger seat protected
by an air bag:
Extreme Hazard! Do not use a
rearward facing child restraint on a
seat protected by an airbag in front of
it!
The child-restraint system can be hit
by the deploying air bag and knocked
out of position. A child in the child-
restraint system could be seriously
injured or killed. If your vehicle is
equipped with a passenger occupant,
always make sure the passenger air
bag deactivation OFF indicator light is
illuminated, if installing a rear-facing
child-restraint system on the passenger
seat is unavoidable.
