improperly restrained child is also at greater risk of injury or death through contact with an in‐
flating airbag.
A suitable child restraint properly installed and used at one of the rear seating positions pro‐
vides the highest degree of protection for infants and small children in most accident
situations.
WARNING
Forward-facing child restraints installed on the front passenger seat may interfere with the de‐
ployment of the airbag and cause serious personal injury to the child.
If exceptional circumstances require the use of a forward-facing child restraint on the front
passenger's seat, the child's safety and well-being require the following special precautions to
be taken:
Always make sure that the forward-facing seat has been designed and certified by its
manufacturer for use on a front passenger seat with a front and side airbag.
Always carefully follow the manufacturer's instructions provided with the child restraint or
infant carrier.
Never install a child restraint without a properly attached top tether strap if the child re‐
straint manufacturer's instructions require the top tether strap for proper installation, or if
required by law. For example, the use of a top tether strap for forward-facing child re‐
straints is required by law in Canada.
Never put the forward-facing child restraint up against or very near the instrument panel.
Always set the safety belt upper anchorage to the adjustment position that permits
proper installation in accordance with the child restraint manufacturer's instructions.
Always move the front passenger seat to the highest position in the up and down adjust‐
ment range and move it back to the rearmost position in the seat's fore and aft adjust‐
ment range, as far away from the airbag as possible before installing the forward-facing
child restraint.
Always make sure that the safety belt upper anchorage is behind the child restraint and
not next to or in front of the child restraint so that the safety belt will be properly
positioned.
