until the infant reaches the restraint system manufacturer's weight or height limit
for the seat, and the infant is at least one year old.

■
Positioning a rear-facing child restraint
system
Child restraint system must be placed and
secured in a rear seating position.
u We recommend that you install the child
restraint system directly behind the front
passenger's seat, move the seat as far
forward as needed, and leave it
unoccupied.
u Make sure that there is no contact
between the child restraint system and
the seat in front of it.
If there is, you may wish to get a smaller
rear-facing child restraint system.
