WARNING:
o A child restraint system must be
placed in the rear seat. Never in-
stall a child or infant seat on the
frontpassenger'sseat.
Should an accident occur and
cause the passenger side airbag
to deploy, it could severely injure
or kill an infant or child seated in
an infant or child seat. Thus, only
use a child restraint in the rear
seat of your vehicle.
o Since a safety belt or child re-
straint system can become very
hot if it is left in a closed vehicle,
be sure to check the seat cover

belt so that it will not be thrown
forward in the case of a sudden
stop or an accident.
