straint system in the front seat be- cause the force of the rapid infla-
tion of the passenger airbag can cause severe injury to the child. Ve-
hicles with a passenger airbag dis- play a caution label on the passen-
ger side instrument panel as shown
above to remind you not to install a
rear-facing child restraint system
on the front seat at any time. Do not use rear-facing child re-
