ward-fa cin g seat.
Not using a child seat, usi ng the wrong child seat or improperly installing in­
creases the risk of serious personal injury and death in a collision or other emergency situa­
tion.
Never install rearward-facing child seats or infant carriers on the front passenger seat-even
with an Advanced Airbag System. A child will be seriously injured and can be killed when the in­
flating airbag hits the child seat or infant carrier
with great force and smashes the child seat and child against the backrest, center armrest, door or roof.
Always install rearward-facing child seats or infant carriers on the rear seat.
Never install a rearward-facing child re­
s traint in the fonvard -facing direction. These re­
s traint s are designed for the special needs of in­
fants and very small children and cannot protect them prope rly if the seat is fonvard-facing.
you must install a reanvard facing child
seat on the front passenger seat because of ex­
