CAUTIOMt (Continued)
Even though the AIR B_AC OFF switch la
designed to turn oft the passenger's frontal air
bag, no system is fail-safe, and no one can
guarantee that an air bag will' not deploy under
some unusual circumstance, even Lhotigh It is
turned ott^ We, therefore recommend that
rear-facing child restraints be transported in
vehicles with a rear seat that will
accommodate a rear-fecing child restraint,
whenever possible.
Keep in nnincJ that an unsecured child restraint can
move around In a collision or sudden slop and injure
paople in the vehiclв^ Be Sure lo properly secute
any child restraint In your vohicia - even when no child
is In it.
