Child Restraint
Baby Seat Installation Position
A baby seat is used in the rear-facing
position only.
Refer to the table, “Child-Restraint System
Suitability for Various Seat Positions” for
baby seat installation position (page 2-32 ).
WARNING
Always install a baby seat in the correct
seat position:
Installing a baby seat without fi rst
consulting the table “Child-Restraint
System Suitability for Various Seat
Positions” is dangerous. A baby seat
installed on the wrong seat position
cannot be properly secured. In a
collision, the child could hit something
or someone in the vehicle and be
seriously injured or even killed.
WARNING
Never use a rear-facing child-restraint
system on the front passenger seat
protected by an air bag:
NEVER use a rearward facing child
restraint on a seat protected by an
ACTIVE AIRBAG in front of it,
DEATH or SERIOUS INJURY to the
CHILD can occur.
The child-restraint system can be hit
by the deploying air bag and knocked
out of position. A child in the child-
restraint system could be seriously
injured or killed. If your vehicle is
equipped with a front passenger air
bag deactivation switch, always set the
switch to the OFF position if installing
a rear-facing child-restraint system on
the front passenger seat is unavoidable.
Child Seat Installation Position
A child seat is used in front-facing and
rear-facing positions depending on the
age and size of the child. When installing,
follow the manufacturer's instructions in
accordance with the appropriate age and
size of the child as well as the directions
for installing the child-restraint system.
Refer to the table, “Child-Restraint System
Suitability for Various Seat Positions” for
child seat installation position (page 2-32 ).
