Unless the passenger’s airbag or airbags have been
turned off, never put a rear-facing child restraint in this
vehicle. Here is why:

{

CAUTION:

A child in a rear-facing child restraint can be
seriously injured or killed if the passenger’s
airbag inflates. This is because the back of the
rear-facing child restraint would be very close
to the inflating airbag. Do not use a rear-facing
child restraint in this vehicle unless the
passenger’s frontal airbag and side impact
airbag (if equipped) have been turned off.

CAUTION:

CAUTION:

(Continued)

Even though the airbag off switch is designed
to turn off the passenger’s frontal airbag and
side impact airbag (if equipped), no system is
fail-safe, and no one can guarantee that an
airbag will not deploy under some unusual
circumstance, even though it is turned off. We
recommend that rear-facing child restraints be
transported in vehicles with a rear seat that
will accommodate a rear-facing child restraint,
whenever possible.

If you need to secure a forward-facing child
restraint in the passenger seat, always move
the passenger seat as far back as it will go.
