Small Children
Placing a forward-facing child seat in
the front seat of a car equipped with
a passenger's front airbag can be
hazardous.
If the car seat is too far
forward, or the child's head is
thrown forward during a collision, an
inflating front airbag can strike the
child with enough force to kill or
very seriously injure a small child.
Larger Children
Children who have outgrown child
seats are also at risk of being injured
or killed by an inflating passenger's
Whenever possible,
front airbag.
larger children should sit in the back
seat, in a booster seat if needed, and
be properly restrained with a seat
belt. (See page
36
for important
information about protecting larger
children.)
U.S. Models
To remind you of the passenger's
front airbag hazards, and that
children must be properly restrained
in the back seat, your car has
warning labels on the dashboard and
on the driver's and front passenger's
visors. Please read and follow the
instructions on these labels.
