Using a child restraint system
Rearward-facing child restraint system
Forward-facing child restraint system
For small children and babies, the use
of a child seat or infant seat is
required. This child seat or infant
seat should be of appropriate size for
the child and should be installed in
accordance with the manufacturer's
instructions.

For safety reasons, we recommend
that the child restraint system be used
in the rear seats.
WARNING
Never place a rear-facing child
restraint in the front passenger
seat, because of the danger that
an inflating passenger-side air
bag could impact the rear-fac-
ing child restraint and kill the
CRS09
child.
