A child in a rear-facing childrestraint can be seriously injured or killed if theright front passenger's airbag inflates. This isbecause the back of the rear-facing child restraintwould be very close to the inflating airbag. Do notuse a rear-facing child restraint in the right frontpassenger's seat if the airbag is turned on.{ WARNING:Even though the passenger sensing system isdesigned to turn off the right front passenger'sfrontal airbag if the system detects a rear-facingchild restraint, no system is fail-safe, and no onecan guarantee that an airbag will not deploy undersome unusual circumstance, even though it isturned off.
