What precaution must you take if you install a rearward-facing child restraint device?
Traffic safety: Transported persons and cargo
Explanation
To ensure the safety of children when using a **rear-facing child restraint system**, it is crucial to **deactivate the front airbag** of the seat where the child seat is installed. This is because, in the event of an accident, the airbag could inflate forcefully and strike the child seat, which could cause serious injuries to the child.
- **Deactivating the airbag** can be done automatically or manually, depending on the vehicle. This action is essential when placing a child seat in the front seat, as the airbag is designed to protect adults and not children in restraint systems.
- The recommendation to **not install the child seat in a seat with an active airbag** is because the airbag could pose a danger rather than protection. Therefore, deactivating it is the appropriate measure to ensure the child's safety.
By following these precautions, risks are minimized, and it is ensured that the child restraint system functions correctly, effectively protecting the child.
