restrained in the rear seating positions than in the front seating
positions.
D SINCE YOUR VEHICLE IS EQUIPPED WITH A PASSENGER'S
SRS AIRBAG, DO NOT INSTALL A REARWARD FACING CHILD
SEAT IN THE FRONT PASSENGER'S SEAT. DOING SO RISKS SE-
RIOUS INJURY OR DEATH TO THE CHILD BY PLACING THE
CHILD'S HEAD TOO CLOSE TO THE SRS AIRBAG.
D Children should be properly restrained in the rear seat at all
times. Never allow a child to stand up, or to kneel on the front
passenger's seat. The SRS airbag deploys with considerable
force and can injure or even kill the child.
Never hold a child on your lap or in
your arms in the front passenger's
seat or any other seat.
Never install rearward facing child
seat in the front passenger's seat.
