Installing a child restraint on a
front passenger’ s seat is forbid-
den.
Never place a rear-facing child restraint
in the front passenger’s seat. If the air
bag deploys, it would impact the rear-fac-
ing child restraint, causing serious or
fatal injury.
In addition, do not place front-facing
child restraint in the front passenger’s
seat either. If the front passenger air bag
inflates, it would cause ser ious or fatal
injuries to the improperly positioned or
improperly restrained child.

No one should be allowed to occu-
py the trunk of the vehicle at any
time. If the trunk is partially or total-
ly latched and the person is unable
to get out, severe injury or death
could occur due to lack of ventila-
tion, exhaust fumes and rapid heat
build-up, or because of exposure to
cold weather condition s. The trunk
is also a highly dangerous location
in the event of a crash because it is
not a protected occupant space but
merely a part of the vehicle’ s crush
zone.

they can pull the emergency
release to open the trunk lid.
• We recommend that car s be kept
locked and keys be kept out of
