Your vehicle has a passenger air bag. Never put a rear-facing child restraint in this vehicle. Here's why: You'll be using the lap-shoulder belt. See the earlier part about the top strap if the child restraint has one. 1. Because your vehicle has a passenger air bag, always move the seat as far back as it will go before securing a forward-facing child restraint. (See "Seats" in the Index.) a CAWTION: A child in a rear-facing child restraint canbe seriously injured if the passenger's air bag inflates. This is because back of a rear-facing the child restraint would be very close the inflating to air bag. Do not usea rear-facing child restraint in this vehicle. If a forward-facing child restraint is suitable for your child, always move passenger seat asfar the back as it will go. 2. Put the restraint on the seat. Follow the instructions for the child restraint. 3. Secure the child in the child restraint as the instructions say. 4. Pick up the latch plate, and run the lap and shoulder portions of the vehicle's safety belt through or around the restraint. The child restraint instructions will show you how. If the shoulder belt goes in front of the child's face or neck, put it behind the child restraint. 1-27
