the front passenger seat can put too
much pressure on the weight-mat in the

wor k as though an adult were on the seat
and deploy t he Advanced Airbag when it
must be suppressed causing serious or
even fatal injury to the child.
- If you must install a rearward facin g
child safety seat on the front passenger
seat because of exceptional circumstan-
