WARNING
Front Passenger Seat Position:
A front-facing child-restraint system should only be put on the front seat when it is
unavoidable. Always move the seat as far back as possible, because the force of a
deploying air bag could cause serious injury or death to the child.
Seating Children in a Child-Restraint System on the Front Passenger Seat:
If your vehicle is equipped with front passenger seat weight sensors, the vehicle is also
equipped with an air bag deactivation indicator light (page 2-33). Even with the front
passenger seat weight sensors, if you must use the front passenger seat for children,
seating a child in a child-restraint system on the front passenger seat under the
following conditions increases the danger of the front passenger air bag deploying
and could result in serious injury or death to the child.
l
The total seated weight of the child with the child-restraint system on the front
passenger seat is approximately 30 kg (66 lb) or more.

system.
