Child-Restraint

Never use a rear-facing child-restraint system in the front seat with an air bag that 

could deploy:

Rear-facing child-restraint systems on the front seat are particularly dangerous even 

though you may feel assured that a front passenger air bag will not deploy based on 

the fact that the front passenger air bag deactivation indicator light illuminates. The 

child-restraint system can be hit by a deploying air bag and moved violently backward 

resulting in serious injury or death to the child.

(Except Mexico)

Vehicles with a front passenger air bag have the following warning label. The warning 

label reminds you not to put a rear-facing child-restraint system on the front passenger 

seat at any time.
