Children and airbags

For additional important safety information, read all information on
safety restraints in this guide.

Never place a rearward facing child safety restraint in front of an
activated airbag. Airbags have been known to kill or injure

children in front facing child safety restraints. Whenever placing a child
safety seat in a front seating position (including center if equipped),
turn off the passenger side airbag switch after being certain the child is
properly restrained. If using a forward facing child safety restraint in
the front outboard seat, slide the seat all the way back, and turn off
the passenger airbag. If using a rear facing child safety seat in the front
outboard seating position, make sure the passenger airbag is turned off
and slide the passenger seat all the way forward until the safety seat
rests on the dashboard. See Passenger airbag on/off switch in this
chapter.

Do not install a child seat in
a center facing jump seat.

An airbag can kill or injure a child in a child seat. Child seats
should never be placed in the front seats, unless passenger

airbag switch is turned off. See Passenger airbag on/off switch in this
chapter.

Rear facing child seats should NEVER be placed in the front
seats unless the passenger airbag switch is turned off.
