front passenger’s seat is for-
bidden.Never place a rear-facing child
restraint in the front passenger ’s
seat. If the air bag deploys, it would
impact the rear-facing child restraint,
causing serious or fatal injury.
In addition, do not place front-facing
child restraint in the front passen-
ger ‘s seat either. If the front passen-
ger air bag inflates, it would cause
serious or fatal injuries to the improp-
erly positioned or improperly
restrained child.

tially or totally latched and the

exhaust fumes and rapid heat
build-up, or because of expo-
