Using a child safety seat on the front passenger's seat
Whenever possible, child safety seats should always be installed on the rear seat.
For safety reasons, we recommend that child safety seats should be installed on the rear seats whenever possible. However, if you have to use a child seat on the front passenger's seat when there is no other alternative, it is most important to note the following warnings:
WARNING
• Do not use a rearward-facing child safety seat on the front
passenger's seat unless the front passenger's airbag has been
deactivated. The child seat would be directly in the path of the
airbag as it inflates, and the child could sustain serious or fatal
injuries if the airbag were to be deployed.
• However, if you have no alternative but to use a rearwardfacing
child seat on the front passenger's seat, the front
passenger's airbag must be deactivated beforehand by means of
the key-operated switch. Failure to observe this
precaution could result in serious or potentially fatal injury.
• Make sure that the front passenger's airbag is reactivated by
means of the key-operated switch* as soon as the child seat is no
longer needed on the front passenger's seat.
• When using a child safety seat of the type which faces in the
direction of travel, the front passenger's seat must be moved back
to the rearmost position.
