Seating a child in a rear-facing child-
restraint system that is installed on the
passenger seat with the passenger air
bag deactivation indicator light not
illuminated is extremely dangerous. In
an accident, a air bag could inflate
and cause serious injuries or even
death to the child seated in the rear-
facing child-restraint system. When
using a rear-facing child-restraint
system, always make sure the
passenger air bag deactivation
indicator light is illuminated by using
the key to turn the passenger air bag
off.
