rapid inflation of the passenger
airbag can cause death or seri-
ous injury to the child.

Move seat fully back
A forward- facing child restraint
system should be allowed to
put on the front seat only when
it is unavoidable. Always move
the seat as far back as pos-
sible, because the force of a
deploying airbag could cause
death or serious injury to the
child.

Do not put a rear- facing child
restraint system in the rear seat
if it interferes with the lock
mechanism of the front seats.
This can cause severe injury to
the child and front passenger in
case of sudden braking or a
collision.
