16L317
CAUTION
Never install a rearfacing child restraint system on
the front passenger seat. In the event of an accident,
the force of the rapid inflation of the front passenger
airbag can cause death or serious injury to the child
if the rearfacing child restraint system is installed
on the front passenger seat.
16L554
Move seat fully back
 A forwardfacing child restraint system should be
allowed to be installed on the front passenger seat
only when it is unavoidable. Always move the seat as
far back as possible, because the front passenger
airbag could inflate with considerable speed and
force. Otherwise, the child may be killed or seriously
injured.
 Do not allow the child to lean his/her head or any part
of his/her body against the door or the area of the
seat, front or rear pillar, or roof side rail from which
the side airbags or curtain shield airbags deploy even
if the child is seated in the child restraint system. It
is dangerous if the side airbag and curtain shield
airbag inflate, and the impact could cause death or
serious injury to the child.
