Front Seat Position
Your vehicle has a right front passenger air bag. Never
put a rear-facing child restraint in this seat. Here’s why:
--
1 ’ A child in a rearfacing child restraint can be
seriously injured or killed if the right front
passenger’s air bag inflates, even though your
vehicle has Next Generation frontal
air bags. This
is because the back of the rearfacing child
restraint would be very close to the inflating
air
bag. Always secure a rearfacing child restraint
in the rear seat.
You’ll be using the lap-shoulder belt. See the earlier pan
about the top strap if the child restraint has one. Be sure
to follow the instructions that came with the child
restraint. Secure the child in the child restraint when and as the instructions say.

works in
all of the lock

embedded into the key for security and theft deterrence.
The keys also come with a bar code tag. Keep the bar
code tag in a safe place. If you lose your key you will be
able to have a new one made using the bar code tag.
