convertible restraint system used in
the rearward facing, reclining mode.
For EU countries, refer to page

Rearward Facing Child Restraint
System Placement
A rearward facing child restraint
system can be placed in any seating
position in the back seat, but not in
the front.
Never put a rearward
facing child restraint system in the
front seat.
For EU countries, an approved
rearward facing child restraint
system should be placed in any
seating position in the back seat (see
page 50 ).
If the passenger's front airbag
inflates, it can hit the back of the
restraint with enough force to kill or
seriously injure an infant.
