Move seat
fully back
A for war d−facing child restraint sys-
tem should be allowed to be put on
the front seat only when it is un-
avoidable. Always move the seat as
far back as possible, because the
force of the deploying airbag could
cause death or serious injury to the
child.
On vehicles with side airbags, do
not allow the child to lean against
the front door or around the front
door even if the child is seated in
the child restraint system. It is dan-
gerous if the side airbag inflates,
and the impact could cause death
or serious injury to the child.

straint system on the rear seat if it

of the front seats. This can cause

ing or a collision.1. Run the lap and shoulder belt through or around the convertible seat following

ure to do so could reduce the

and increase the chance of injury.
Both high−positioned lap belts and
loose −fitting belts could cause seri-
ous injuries due to sliding under
the lap belt during a collision or
other unintended result. Keep the
lap belt positioned as low on hips
as possible.
