out a transponder for automatic child seat
recognition may not be installed on the front-

The bottom and back of a forward-facing
child restraint system must make full con-
tact with the front-passenger seat cushion
and backrest. The child restraint system
must not touch the roof. Adjust the back-
rest angle accordingly. Also observe the
child restraint system manufacturer's
installation instructions.

If possible, move the seat cushion angle to
the highest, most vertical position.
