Warnings and Cautions
for Using the Front Seat
for Children
WARNING
Always move the front passenger seat
as far back as possible if installing a
front-facing child-restraint system on
it is unavoidable.
As your vehicle has front air bags and
doubly so because your vehicle has
side air bags, a front-facing
child-restraint system should be put on
the front passenger seat only when it is
unavoidable.
Even if the front passenger air bag
deactivation indicator light illuminates,
always move the seat as far back as
possible, because the force of a
deploying air bag could cause serious
injury or death to the child.
Never use a rear-facing child-restraint
system in the front seat with an air
bag that could deploy.
Rear-facing child-restraint systems on
the front seat are particularly
dangerous.
Even in a moderate collision, the
child-restraint system can be hit by a
deploying air bag and moved violently
backward resulting in serious injury or
death to the child. Even though you
may feel assured that the front
passenger air bag will not deploy
based on the fact that the front
passenger air bag deactivation
indicator light illuminates, you should
not use a rear-facing child-restraint
system in the front seat.
