CAUTION
! Never install a rear−facing child re-
straint system on the front passen-
ger seat. In the event of an acci-
dent, the impact of the rapid infla-
tion of the front passenger airbag
could cause death or serious injury
to the child if the rear−facing child
restraint system is installed on the
front passenger seat.
Move seat
fully back
! A forward−facing child restraint sys-
tem should be allowed to be
installed on the front passenger
seat only when it is unavoidable.
Always move the seat as far back
as possible, because the front pas-
senger airbag could inflate with
considerable speed and force.
Otherwise, the child may be killed
or seriously injured.
! On vehicles with side airbags, do
not allow the child to lean his/her
head or any part of his/her body
against the front door or the area
of the seat from which the side air-
bags deploy even if the child is
seated in the child restraint system.
It is dangerous if the side airbag
inflate, and the impact could cause
death or serious injury to the child.
