Check the label of your child restraint. All
approved child restraints must include
type-approval data and the control mark on
its label. The label must be permanently
secured to the child restraint system. You
should not remove this label from the child
restraint.
WARNING!
Extreme Hazard! Do not place a rear-facing
child restraint in front of an active air bag.
Refer to visor mounted
information. Deployment of the air bag in
an accident could cause fatal injuries to
the baby regardless of the severity of the
collision. It is advisable to always carry
children in a child restraint system on the
rear seat, which is the most protected
position in the event of a collision.

Fig. A
Safety experts recommend that children ride
rearward facing in the vehicle as long as
possible. Infants up to 13 kg must be
restrained in a rear-facing seat like the child
seat shown in fig. A. This type of child
restraint supports the child's head and does
not induce stress on the neck in the event of
sudden decelerations or a crash.
