accommodate a rear-facing child restraint,
never put a child in a rear-facing child restraint in

A child in a rear-facing child restraint can
be seriously injured or killed if the right
front passenger’s airbag inflates. This is

restraint would be very close to the
inflating airbag. Be sure the airbag is off
before using a rear-facing child restraint
in the right front seat position.

restraint, whenever possible.
If you need to secure a forward-facing
child restraint in the right front seat,
always move the front passenger seat as
far back as it will go. It is better to secure
the child restraint in a rear seat.
