The passenger’s airbag poses
serious risks to small children. If the
vehicle seat is too far forward, or the
child’s head is thrown forward
during a collision, or the child is
unrestrained or improperly
restrained, an inflating airbag can kill
or seriously injure the child.
For these reasons, we recommend
that you do not carry a small child as
a passenger.
Of the different seats available, we
recommend those that have a five-
point harness system as shown.
If you decide to carry a small child in
this car, follow the instructions and
guidelines below.
A child who can sit up without
support, and who fits within the child
seat maker’s weight and height
limits, should be restrained in a
forward-facing, upright child seat.
We also recommend that a small
child stay in the child seat as long as
possible, until the child reaches the
weight or height limit for the seat.

Improperly placing a forward-
facing child seat in the front
seat can result in serious injury
or death if the airbags inflate.
If you must place a forward-
facing child seat in front, move
the vehicle seat as far back as
possible and properly restrain
the child.
