WARNING
Rear-Facing Child-Restraint System:
Rear-facing child-restraint systems on
the front seat are particularly
dangerous.
The child-restraint system can be hit
by a deploying air bag and moved
violently backward resulting in serious
injury or death to the child. Even
though you may feel assured that the
front passenger air bag will not deploy
based on the fact that the front
passenger air bag deactivation
indicator light illuminates, NEVER
use a rear-facing child-restraint
system in the front seat with an air bag
that could deploy even in a moderate
collision.
Child Restraint
WARNING
Children and Seating Position with
Side and Curtain Air Bags:
Allowing anyone to lean over or
against the side window, the area of
the front passenger seat, front and
rear window pillars and the roof edge
along both sides from which the side
and curtain air bags deploy, even if a
child-restraint system is used, is
dangerous. If the vehicle is equipped
with side and curtain air bags, the
impact of inflation could cause serious
injury or death to the child.
Furthermore, leaning over or against
the front door could block the side and
curtain air bags and eliminate the
advantages of supplemental
protection. With the front air bag and
the additional side air bag that comes
out of the front seat, the rear seat is
always a better location for children.
Do not allow a child to lean over or
against the side window, even if the
child is seated in a child-restraint
system.
