WARNING
NEVER INSTALL A REARWARD FA- CING CHILD RESTRAINT SYSTEM ON THE FRONT PASSENGER’ S SEAT EVEN IF THE FRONT PAS- SENGER’ S SRS FRONTAL AIRBAG IS DEACTIVATED. Be sure to install it correctly in the REAR seat. Also, it is strongly recommended that any child seat or booster seat be installed in the REAR seat, and that even children who have outgrown a child restraint system be also seated in the REAR seat. This is because children sitting in the front passenger’ s seat may be killed or severely injured should the front passenger’ s SRS frontal airbag deploy. REAR seats are the safest place for children.
