WARNING
SEVERE DANGER:
when an active passenger
airbag is fitted, DO NOT
install rear facing child
restraint systems on the
front seats. Deployment of
the airbag in an accident could
cause fatal injuries to the baby
regardless of the severity of the
collision.
WARNING
When an active passenger
airbag is fitted, DO NOT
install rear facing child restraint
systems on the front passenger
seat. Always deactivate the

passenger airbag when a rear
facing child restraint system is
installed on the front passenger
seat. The front passenger seat must
also be positioned back as far as
possible in order to prevent the
child restraint system from coming
into contact with the dashboard.
Immediately reactivate the
passenger airbag as soon as the
child restraint system has been
removed.
