Position the passenger seat as far
rearward as possible and route the
seatbelt forward and downward from
the B-pillar ring to the child restraint.
If it proves difficult to tighten the lap
section of the seatbelt without slack
remaining, adjust the seat backrest to
the fully upright position and raise the
height of the seat.
WARNING:Extreme Hazard! Never
use a rearward facing child restraint on
a seat protected by an active airbag in
front of it. Death or serious injury to the
child can occur.

WARNING: You must switch the
passenger airbag off when using a
rearward facing child restraint on the
