SEVERE DANGER: Do not

arrange child seats facing

backwards if the passenger’s

front airbag is on. Deploy-

ment of the airbag in an ac-

cident could cause fatal in-

juries to the baby. Always deactivate

the passenger’s airbag when placing

a child seat on the front seat. Move

the passenger’s seat as far back as

possible to avoid contact between the

cradle and the dashboard. Although

this is not mandatory by law, the

airbag should be immediately reacti-

vated when children are no longer

carried to ensure better protection to

adults.
