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 pas‐
senger seat, the following special precautions must be taken for the safety and well-being of
the child:
Always make sure that the forward-facing child restraint has been designed and certified
for use on a front passenger seat with a front airbag and a side airbag.
Always carefully follow the manufacturer's instructions provided for 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.
Always make sure that nothing is in the way that prevents the front passenger seat from
being moved all the way back to the rearmost position in its fore and aft adjustment
range.
Always make sure that the backrest is in the upright position.
Never place additional items on the seat that can influence the electrical capacitance
measured by the capacitive passenger detection system.
