Do not install a front-facing child-restraint system on the front passenger seat unless it is
unavoidable:

In a collision, the force of a deploying air bag could cause serious injury or death to the child. If
installing a front-facing child-restraint system on the front passenger seat is unavoidable,
move the front passenger seat as far back as possible and adjust the seat bottom (height
adjustable seat bottom) to the highest position at which the seat belt fastening the
child-restraint system is securely tightened.

Seating a child in a child-restraint system on the front passenger seat is dangerous under
certain conditions (With Front Passenger Occupant Classification System):

Your vehicle is equipped with front passenger occupant classification sensor. Even with the
front passenger occupant classification sensor, if you must use the front passenger seat to
seat a child, using a child-restraint system on the front passenger seat under the following
conditions increases the danger of the front passenger air bag deploying and could result in
serious injury or death to the child.



The front passenger air bag deactivation indicator light does not illuminate when seating a
child in the child-restraint system.



Luggage or other items are placed on the seat with the child in the child-restraint system.



A rear passenger or luggage pushing or pulling down on the front passenger seatback.



The front passenger seat is moved backward, pushing into luggage or other items placed



The front passenger seatback contacts the rear seat.



Luggage or other items are placed between the front passenger seat and driver seat.



An electric device is put on the front passenger's seat.



An additional electrical device, such as a seat warmer is installed to the surface of the front
