When you install a child restraint in the front seat, follow these steps: 1. Position the child restraint on the front passenger seat. It should be placed in a forward-facing direction only. Move the seat as far back from the instrument panel as possible. Always follow the child restraint manufacturer's instructions. Child restraints for infants must be used in the rear-facing direction and therefore must not be used in the front seat.

A rear-facing child restraint could be struck by the supplemental air bag in a crash and could seriously injure or kill your child. ● If you install a forward-facing child restraint in the front passenger seat, place the passenger seat as far back as possible. A child restraint with a top strap should not be used in the front passenger seat.
