1. Park in the shade or where sun does not directly
hit the child restraint.
2. Cover the child restraint with a sheet or blanket
when not in use.

D-2 Vehicle Seating Position
Never install a rear-facing child
restraint in the front seat of a vehicle
equipped with an active passenger
side frontal airbag.
In very few vehicles, the child restraint cannot
be properly installed because of the type of
seat belt system, airbag system and/or lack
of location to anchor the tether strap. Always
read and follow the vehicle owner's manual
instructions for child restraint use.
Use the child restraint only
on vehicle seats that face
forward. Do not use on
seats that face the sides
or rear of the vehicle. For
vehicles with an airbag, but
without a back seat, refer
to your vehicle owner's
manual.
Safety Tip:
Children are safer when
properly restrained in
a rear seating position
than in the front seating
position.
According to accident statistics, children
in rear seating positions are statistically
safer, whether you have airbags, advanced
airbags, or no airbags at all.
