CAUTION:

A child in a rear-facing child restraint can
be seriously injured or killed if the right

impact airbag (if equipped) if the system
detects a rear-facing child restraint, no
system is fail-safe, and no one can
guarantee that an airbag will not deploy
under some unusual circumstance, even
though it is turned off. We recommend
that rear-facing child restraints be
transported in vehicles with a rear seat
that will accommodate a rear-facing child
restraint, whenever possible.

If you need to secure a forward-facing child
restraint in the right front seat position, move the
seat as far back as it will go before securing
the forward-facing child restraint. See Power Seats
on page 10 or Manual Seats on page 9.

If your child restraint has the LATCH system, see
Lower Anchors and Tethers for Children
(LATCH)
on page 58.
