sible, because the force of a de-
ploying airbag could cause death or
serious injury to the child.

Make sure that you have complied
with all installation instructions pro-
vided by the child restraint

—Child restraint system
A child restraint system for a small
child or baby must itself be properly
restrained on the seat with the lap por-
tion of the lap/shoulder belt. You must
carefully consult the manufacturer's
instructions which accompany
child restraint system.
To provide proper restraint, use a child
restraint system following the manufactur-
er's instructions about the appropriate age
and size of the child for the child restraint
system.
Install the child restraint system correctly
following the instructions provided by its
manufacturer of the system.
The child restraint system should
installed on the rear seat. According to
accident statistics, the child is safer when
properly restrained in the rear seat than
in the front seat.
CAUTION
"
Never put a rear- facing child re-
straint system on the front seat. In
the event of an accident, the force
of the rapid inflation of the airbag
can cause death or serious injury if
a rear- facing child restraint system
is put on the front seat.
