well-being require that the follow ing spec ial
precaut ions be taken:
- Make sure the forward-facing seat has been
designed and certified by its manufacturer
for use on a front seat with a passenger
front and side airbag .
-Always follow the manufacturer 's instruc-
t ions prov ided with the ch ild safety seat or
infant carrier.
- Always move the front passenger seat to
the highest position in the up and down ad-
justment range and move it back to the
rearmost position in the se at's fore and aft
adjustment range, as far away from the air-
bag as possib le, before insta lling the for -
ward-facing child restra int .
- Always make sure t hat the safety belt upper
anchorage is behind the child restraint and
not next to or in front of the chi ld restraint
so that the safety belt will be properly pos i-
t ioned.
- Always make sure that nothing prevents the
front passenger's seat from being moved to
the rearmost position in its fore and aft ad-
justment range.
