WARNING
Always properly restrain children
in the vehicle. Children of all ages
are safer when riding in the rear
seats. Never place a rearward-facing
Child Restraint System on the front
passenger seat, unless the air bag is
deactivated.
Children under age 13 should always
ride in the rear seats and must
always be properly restrained to
minimize the risk of injury in an
accident, sudden stop or sudden
maneuver.
According to accident statistics,
children are safer when properly
restrained in the rear seats than in
the front seat. Children too large for

the seat belts provided.
