Read and observe on page 22 first.
Never use a rearward-facing child restraint system on a seat which is protec-
ted by an active airbag installed in front of it. This could cause serious injury
to the child or even death.
For safety reasons, we recommend that you install child seats on the rear
seats whenever possible.
The following advice must be heeded when using a child seat in which the
child is carried on the front passenger seat.

It is essential to switch off the front passenger airbag if using a child seat in
which the child is carried with its back facing the direction of travel
›
Set the front passenger seat back as vertically as possible so that there is
firm contact between the passenger seat back and the child seat back.
›
Where possible, move the front passenger seat back so that there is no con-
tact between the front seat and the child seat behind.
