• Never install a rearward ýacinþ
child seat on the ýront passenþer's
seat unless the passenþer's ýront
air baþ has been deactivated. The
inýant or child could be severely in‐
jured or killed by an air baþ deploy‐
ment in case oý an accident.
• Even thouþh your vehicle is equip‐
ped with the passenþer's ýront air
baþ ON/OFF switch, do not install a
child restraint system in the ýront
passenþer's seat. A child restraint
system must never be placed in
the ýront seat. Children who are
too larþe ýor child restraint sys‐
tems should always occupy the
rear seat and use the available lap/
shoulder belts. Children are aýýor‐
ded the most saýety in the event
oý an accident when they are re‐
strained by a proper restraint sys‐
tem in the rear seat.
• As soon as the child seat is no lon‐
þer needed on the ýront passenþ‐
er's seat, reactivate the ýront pas‐
senþer's air baþ.
