child restraint system on the pas-
senger seat, make sure the passen-
ger airbag manual onoff switch is
in the “OFF” position and that the

Forwardfacing child restraint sys-
tem: A forwardfacing child re-
straint system which belongs to a
passenger risk group should never
be installed on the passenger seat

inflate with considerable speed and
force. Otherwise the child may be
killed or seriously injured in for-
