CAUTION:
A child in a rear-facing child restraint can
be seriously injured or killed if the
passenger’s airbag inflates.
CAUTION: (Continued)
CAUTION: (Continued)
This is because the back of the
rear-facing child restraint would be very
close to the inflating airbag. Do not use a
rear-facing child restraint in this vehicle
unless the passenger’s airbag has been
turned off.
Even though the airbag off switch is
designed to turn off the passenger’s frontal
airbag, no system is fail-safe, and no one
can guarantee that an airbag will not
deploy under some unusual circumstance,
even though it is turned off. We
recommend that rear-facing child restraints
be transported in vehicles with a rear seat
that will accommodate a rear-facing child
restraint, whenever possible.
If you need to secure a forward-facing child
restraint in the right front static seat or the
right front bench seat, always move the
passenger seat as far back as it will go.
