Junior Seat Installation Position
A junior seat is used in the front-facing position only.
Refer to the table, “Child-Restraint System Suitability for Various Seat Positions” for junior seat installation position (page 2-31).
WARNING
Always install a junior seat in the correct seat position:
Installing a junior seat without first consulting the table “Child-Restraint System Suitability for Various Seat Positions” is dangerous. A junior seat installed on the wrong seat position cannot be properly secured. In a collision, the child could hit something or someone in the vehicle and be seriously injured or even killed.
WARNING
Do not install a front-facing child-restraint system on
the front passenger seat unless it is unavoidable:
In a collision, the force of a deploying air bag could cause serious injury or death to the child.
If installing a front-facing child-restraint system on the front passenger seat is unavoidable, move the front passenger seat as far back as possible and make sure that the front passenger air bag deactivation switch is in the OFF position.
Refer to Front Passenger Air Bag Deactivation
Switch (page 2-46 ).
