The National Highway Traffic Safety
Administration and Transport
Canada recommend that all children
age 12 and under be properly
restrained in a back seat.
Since this vehicle does not have a
back seat, we strongly recommend
that you do not carry any child who
is not large enough or mature
enough to ride in front (see page ).
Airbags have been designed to help
protect adults in a moderate to
severe frontal collision. To do this,
the passenger’s airbag is quite large
and it can inflate with enough force
to cause very serious injuries.
If the passenger’s airbag
inflates, it can hit the back of the
child seat with enough force to kill or
very seriously injure an infant.
If the vehicle seat is too
far forward, or the child’s head is
thrown forward during a collision, an
inflating passenger’s airbag can
strike the child with enough force to
kill or very seriously injure them.
If a larger child must ride in
this vehicle, see page for
important guidelines on how to
decide when a child is ready to ride
in front and how to properly protect
the child.

Never put a rear-f acing child seat in

Placing a forward-facing child seat in
the passenger’s seat can be
hazardous.
Children who have outgrown child
seats are also at risk of being injured
or killed by an inflating passenger’s
airbag.
