(B) CONVERTIBLE SEAT INSTALLATION
A convertible seat must be used in for-
ward
− facing or rear − facing position de-
pending on the age and size of the
child. When installing, follow the
manufacturer’s instruction about the ap-
plicable age and size of the child as
well as directions for installing the
child restraint system.
CAUTION
D
Never install a rear − facing child re-
straint system on the front passen-
ger seat. In the event of an acci-
dent, the force of the rapid inflation
of the front passenger airbag can
cause death or serious injury to the
child if the rear − facing child re-
straint system is installed on the
front passenger seat.
Move seat
fully back
D
A forward − facing child restraint sys-
tem should be allowed to be
installed on the front passenger
seat only when it is unavoidable.
Always move the seat as far back
as possible, because the front pas-
senger airbag could inflate with
considerable speed and force.
Otherwise, the child may be killed
or seriously injured.
