CAUTION
Extreme Hazard! Do not use a rearward
facing child restraint on a seat protected
by an airbag in front of it! This is be-
cause the force of the rapid inflation of
the front passenger airbag can cause
death or serious injury to the child.
Vehicles with a front passenger airbag
display a warning label on the pas-
senger side instrument panel as shown
above, and on the driver's side sunvi-
sior to remind you not to put a rearward
facing child restraint system on the
front passenger seat at anytime.
