16G035
A convertible seat is used in forward±facing or rear±facing
position depending on the age and size of the child. When
installing, follow the manufacturer's instructions about the
appropriate age and size of the child as well as directions for
installing the child restraint system.
16G058±2
CAUTION
Never put a rear±facing child restraint system on the
front passenger seat because the force of the rapid
inflation of the front passenger airbag can cause
death or serious injury to the child.

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 over
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 and curtain shield airbags
inflate, and the impact could cause death or serious
injury to the child.

CAUTION
Always make sure the shoulder belt is positioned
across the center of child's shoulder. The belt should
be kept away from child's neck, but not falling off
child's shoulder. Failure to do so could reduce the
amount of protection in an accident and cause
serious injuries in a collision.

under child's arm.
After inserting the tab, make sure the tab and buckle
are locked and that the lap and shoulder portions of
