SERIOUS DANGER: With
passenger’s air bag active,
never place child’s seats with
the cradle facing backwards
since the air bag activation
could cause to the child serious in-
juries, even mortal. In the case of
need, always deactivate the passen-
ger’s air bag when a child’s seat is
placed on the front seat. The front
passenger’s seat shall be adjusted in
the most backward position to pre-
vent any contact between child’s seat
and dashboard. Even if not compul-
sory by law, you are recommended to
reactivate the air bag immediately as
soon as child transport is no longer
necessary.
