Your vehicle has a right front passenger air bag.
Never
put a rear facing child restraint in this seat. Here's whl-
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.
Always secure a rear-facing child restraint in a
rear seat.
Although a rear seat is a safer place, you can secure a
forward-facing child restraint in the right front seat.
You'll be using the lap-shoulder belt. See

if
the child restraint has one. Be sure
to
follow the instructions that came with the child restraint.
Secure the child in the child restraint when and as
the instructions say.
1.
Because your vehicle has a right front passenger's
air bag, always move the seat as far back as it will
go
before securing a forward-facing child restraint.

3. Pick up the latch plate, and run the lap and shoulder
portions of the vehicle's safety belt through
or
around the restraint. The child restraint instructions
will show you how.
4.
Buckle the belt. Make sure the release button is
positioned
so
you would be able
to
unbuckle the
safety belt quickly
if
you ever had to.
2. Put the restraint on the seat.
