Move seat fully back
A forward±facing child restraint system should
be allowed to be put on the front passenger
seat only when it is unavoidable. Always move
the seat as far back as possible, because the
force of the deploying front passenger airbag
could cause death or serious injury to the child.
 Do not allow the child to lean against the front
door or around the front door even if the child
is seated in a child restraint system. It is
dangerous if the side airbag inflates, and the
impact could cause death or serious injury to
the child.
