would cause serious or fatal
injuries.
• When children are seated in the
rear outboard seats of vehicle

be sure to install the child
restraint system as far away from
the door side as possible, and
securely lock the child restraint
system in position.
Inflation of curtain air bags could
cause serious injury or death to
an infant or child.
