seats support the baby 's back, neck and head in a
crash
¢ fig . 253.
The a irbag on the passenger side makes the front
seat a potentia lly dangerous p lace for a child to
ride . The front seat is not the safest place for a
child in a forward-facing chi ld safety s eat . It is a
very dangerous place for an infant or a larger
child in a rearward-facing seat.
A WARNING
Not using a child safety seat, using the wrong
child safety seat or improperly installing a
child restra int increases the r isk of serious
personal injury and death in a crash .
- Never install rear -facing child safety seats
or infant carriers on the front passenger
seat
-even with an Advanced Airbag System.
A ch ild will be seriously injured and can be
killed when the inflating airbag hits the
child safety seat or infant carrier with great
force and smashes the child safety seat and child against the backrest, center armrest,
door or roof

-Always install rear-facing child safety seats
or infant carriers on the rear seat.
