Child restraint systems on the front-
passenger seat
Notes on child restraint systems on the
front-passenger seat
Accident statistics show that children
secured in
the rear seats are safer than chil-
dren secured in the front-passenger seat. For
this reason, smart strongly advises that you
install a child restraint system on a rear
seat.
If it is absolutely necessary that you secure a
child in a child restraint system on the front-
passenger seat, always observe the informa-
tion on "Disabling the front-passenger front
airbag" (Y page 37).
You avoid risks when you:
R
enable or disable the front-passenger
front airbag correctly
R
position the child restraint system favour-
ably
