WARNING!
 Being too close to the steering wheel or instrument
panel during front air bag deployment could cause
serious injury, including death. Air bags need room to

reach the steering wheel or instrument panel.
 NEVER use a rearward facing child restraint on a seat
protected by an ACTIVE AIRBAG in front of it, DEATH
or SERIOUS INJURY to the CHILD can occur.

protected position in the event of a collision.
 Should it be necessary to carry a child on the
passenger side front seat in a rear-facing child
restraint system, the passenger side front airbag
must be deactivated. Always make sure the airbag
deactivation indicator light is illuminated when using
a child restraint system. The passenger seat must
also be positioned backward as far as possible to
avoid the child restraint system from coming into
contact with the dashboard.

or serious injury to a child 12 years or younger,
including a child in a rear-facing child restraint.
