Securing Child Restraints
(Front Passenger Seat)

This vehicle has airbags. A rear
seat is a safer place to secure a
forward-facing child restraint. See

.

In addition, the vehicle has a
passenger sensing system which is
designed to turn off the front
outboard passenger frontal airbag
and passenger knee airbag under
certain conditions. See

for more information,

including important safety
information.

Never put a rear-facing child seat in
the front. This is because the risk to
the rear-facing child is so great,
if the airbag deploys.

A child in a rear-facing child
restraint can be seriously injured
or killed if the front outboard

passenger frontal airbag inflates.
This is because the back of the
rear-facing child restraint would
be very close to the inflating
airbag. A child in a forward-facing
child restraint can be seriously
injured or killed if the front
outboard passenger frontal airbag
inflates and the passenger seat is
in a forward position.

Even if the passenger sensing
system has turned off the front
outboard passenger frontal
airbag, no system is fail-safe. No
one can guarantee that an airbag
will not deploy under some
unusual circumstance, even
though it is turned off.

Secure rear-facing child restraints
in a rear seat, even if the airbag
is off. If you secure a
forward-facing child restraint in
the front seat, always move the

front passenger seat as far back
as it will go. It is better to secure
the child restraint in a rear seat.

locations.

Do not secure a child seat in a
position without a top tether anchor
if a national or local law requires
that the top tether be anchored, or if
the instructions that come with the
child restraint say that the top strap
must be anchored.

In Canada, the law requires that
forward-facing child restraints have
a top tether, and that the tether be
attached.
