If exceptional circumstances require the use of a forward-
facing child restraint on the front passenger's seat, the child's
safety and well-being require the following special precautions
to be taken:
- Always make sure that the forward-facing seat has been
designed and certified by its manufacturer for use on a
front passenger seat with a front and side airbag.
- Always carefully follow the manufacturer's instructions
provided with the child restraint or carrier.
- Never install a child restraint without a properly attached
top tether strap if the child restraint manufacturer's
instructions require the top tether strap to be used.
- Never put the forward-facing child restraint up against or
very near the instrument panel.
- Always set the safety belt upper anchorage to the
adjustment position that permits proper installation in
accordance with the child restraint manufacturer's
instructions.
- Always move the front passenger seat to the highest
position in the up and down adjustment range and move
it back to the rearmost position in the seat's fore and aft
adjustment range, as far away from the airbag as
possible before installing the forward-facing child
restraint.
