curtain shield airbags, do not allow
the child to lean his/her head or
any part of his/her body against the
door or the area of the seat, front
or center and roof side garnish
from which the side airbags or cur-
tain shield airbags deploy even if
the child is seated in the child re-
straint system. It is dangerous if
the side airbag and/or curtain shield
airbag inflate, and the impact could
cause death or serious injury to the
child.
Do not install a child restraint sys-
tem on the rear/second or third
seat if it interferes with the lock
mechanism of the front or second
seats. Otherwise, the child or front
or second seat occupant(s) may be
killed or seriously injured in case
of sudden braking or a collision.
If the driver ’s seat position does
not allow sufficient space for safe
installation, install the child re-
straint system on the rear/second
right seat.
