Small Children
Placing a forward-facing child
seat in the front seat of a vehicle
equipped with a passenger’s
airbag can be hazardous. If the
vehicle seat is too far forward, or
the child’s head is thrown forward
during a collision, an inflating
airbag can strike the child with
enough force to kill or very
seriously injure a small child.
Larger Children
Children who have outgrown
child seats are also at risk of
being injured or killed by an
inflating passenger’s airbag.
Whenever possible, larger
children should sit in the back
seat, properly restrained with a
seat belt. (See page
for
important information about
protecting larger children.)
To remind you of the passenger’s
airbag hazards, and that children
must be properly restrained in the
back seat, your vehicle has
warning labels on the dashboard,
and on the driver’s and front
passenger’s visors. Please read
and follow the instructions on
these labels.
If You Must Drive With
Several Children
Your vehicle has three seating
positions in the back seat where
children can be properly
restrained.
If you ever have to carry more
than three children in your
vehicle:
•
Place the largest child in the
front seat, provided the child is
large enough to wear a seat belt
properly (see page
).
•
Move the vehicle seat as far to
the rear as possible (see page
).
•
Have the child sit upright and
well back in the seat (see page
).
•
Make sure the seat belt is
properly positioned and
secured (see page
