WARNING Risk of injury or death if the
co-driver airbag is enabled
If the co-driver airbag is enabled, a child on
the co-driver seat may be struck by the co-

system on a seat with an ENABLED FRONT
AIRBAG; DEATH or SERIOUS INJURY to the
CHILD can occur.
When installing a child restraint system on the
front passenger seat, observe the vehicle-spe‐
cific information (
