WARNING!
DEATH or SERIOUS INJURY can occur:
FAILURE TO PROPERLY SECURE THE CHILD RESTRAINT IN
YOUR VEHICLE INCREASES THE RISK OF SERIOUS INJURY
OR DEATH IN THE EVENT OF A SUDDEN STOP, SHARP TURN
OR CRASH.
1. Make sure you have selected an acceptable location for the
Car Seat as instructed in section SELECTING THE BEST
VEHICLE LOCATION for the Car Seat on page 23.
2. Check again for any Active Frontal Air bags. DO NOT use any
location that has an active frontal air bag or is adjacent to an
Active Air bag such that, when deployed, the Active Air bag
may come into contact with the Car Seat. Many passenger
side Frontal Air bags are designed to deploy to protect the
passenger side as well as the center front seating position.
Please see the Active Air bag warnings in your vehicle owner’s
manual to help determine unsafe locations in the vehicle.
3. If the front seat position is used, slide the vehicle seat as far to
the rear as possible to prevent the Car Seat from striking the
dash in a crash. If the rear seat position is used, slide the vehicle
seat directly in front of the Car Seat forward enough to prevent
the Car Seat from striking the vehicle seat back in a crash.
