SEVERE DANGER: Do not
arrange child seats facing

backwards if the passenger’s
front airbag is on. Deploy-
ment of the airbag in an ac-
cident could cause fatal in-

juries to the baby. Always deactivate
the passenger’s airbag when placing
a child seat on the front seat. Move
the passenger’s seat as far back as
possible to avoid contact between the
cradle and the dashboard. Although
this is not mandatory by law, the
airbag should be immediately reacti-
vated when children are no longer
carried to ensure better protection to
adults.
