(B) CONVERTIBLE SEAT INSTALLATION
A convertible seat must be used in for-
wardfacing or rearfacing position de-
pending on the age and size of the
child. When installing, follow the
manufacturer ’s instructions about the
applicable age and size of the child as
well as directions for installing the
child restraint system.CAUTION
Never install a rearfacing child re-
straint system on the front passen-
ger seat. In the event of an acci-
dent, the force of the rapid inflation

cause death or serious injury to the
child if the rearfacing child re-
straint system is installed on the
front passenger seat.

senger airbag could inflate with
considerable speed and force.
Otherwise, the child may be killed
or seriously injured.
