WARNING
A child in a rear-facing child
restraint can be seriously injured
or killed if the front passenger
airbag inflates. This is because
the back of the rear-facing child
restraint would be very close to
the inflating airbag. A child in a
forward-facing child restraint can
be seriously injured or killed if the
front passenger airbag inflates
and the passenger seat is in a
forward position.
The vehicle may have a
passenger sensing system which
is designed to turn off the front
passenger frontal airbag under
certain conditions.
Even if the passenger sensing
system, if equipped, has turned
off the front passenger frontal
airbag, no system is fail-safe. No
one can guarantee that an airbag

WARNING (Continued)
will not deploy under some
unusual circumstance, even
though it is turned off.
Secure rear-facing child restraints
in a rear seat, even if the airbag
is off. If you secure a
forward-facing child restraint in
the front seat, always move the
front passenger seat as far back
as it will go. It is better to secure
the child restraint in a rear seat.

WARNING
When using a child restraint
system on the front passenger
seat, the airbag system for the
front passenger seat must be

WARNING (Continued)
deactivated. If not, the triggering
of the airbags poses a risk of fatal
injury to the child. This is
especially the case if rear-facing
child restraint systems are used
on the front passenger seat.
{
WARNING
"Do not use a rearward facing
child restraint on a seat protected
by an airbag in front of it!"
If the child restraint has the LATCH
system, see

for how and
where to install the child restraint
using LATCH. If a child restraint is
secured using a safety belt and it
uses a top tether, see
Lower

(LATCH System) on page 3
