(B) CONVERTIBLE SEAT INSTALLATION A convertible seat is used in forwardfacing and rear-facing depending on the child's age and size. When installing, follow the manufacturer's instruction about the applicable child's age and size as well as direction of a child restraint system. ! CAUTION S Never use a rear-facing child restraint system in the front seat because the force of the rapid inflation of the passenger airbag can cause severe injury to the child. S Only when it is unavoidable should a forward-facing child restraint system be used on the front seat. Always move the seat as far back as possible because the force of deploying airbag would cause serious injury to the child. 47
