bottom to the highest position at which the seat belt securing the child-restraint
system is securely tightened (Vehicles with height adjustment on front passenger's
seat):

at a low position is dangerous. The seat belt cannot securely fasten the child-
restraint system which may result in death or injury to the child in the event of a
collision.

with the front passenger occupant classification sensor, if you must use the front
passenger seat to seat a child, using a child-restraint system on the front passenger
seat under the following conditions increases the danger of the front passenger air
bag deploying and could result in serious injury or death to the child.
ØThe front passenger air bag deactivation indicator light does not illuminate when
seating a child in the child-restraint system.
ØLuggage or other items are placed on the seat with the child in the child-restraint
system.
