SERIOUS DANGER:
with a car fitted
with an Air bag on the passenger’s
side, do not place a child’s seat on
the front seat facing backwards.
In the case of need, always deac-
tivate the passenger’s Air bag (if
fitted) when a child’s seat is placed
on the front seat. Even if it is not
compulsory by law, for better pro-
tection of adults, you are recom-
mended to activate the Air bag im-
mediately as soon as child
transport is no longer necessary.
