GMC 2003 C4C042 Owner's Manual page 55

When choosing a child restraint, be sure the child
restraint is designed to be used in a vehicle. If it is, it
will have a label saying that it meets federal motor
vehicle safety standards.
Then follow the instructions for the restraint. You may
find these instructions on the restraint itself or in a
booklet, or both. These restraints use the belt system in
your vehicle, but the child also has to be secured within
the restraint to help reduce the chance of personal injury.
-
When securing an add on child restraint, refer to the
instructions that come with the restraint which may be
on the restraint itself or in a booklet, or both, and to this
manual. The child restraint instructions are important, so
if they are not available, obtain a replacement copy from
the manufacturer.
Where to Put the Restraint
(Regular Cab Models)
If your vehicle is a regular cab model with an
-
air suspension seat in the right front passenger's
position, there is no place in your vehicle to secure a
child restraint. The only answer is to have smaller
children make the trip in another vehicle, where they
can get the protection they need.
1-48
CAUTION:
A child restraint cannot be secured properly in
-
an air suspension type seat. This is because an
-
air suspension seat is designed to move up and
down for an adult passenger. Don't use a child
-
restraint in an air suspension seat.
If your vehicle is a regular cab model with a static seat
in the right front passenger's position, or if it has a
bench seat, the child restraint must be secured properly
in the right front passenger's seat. If your vehicle has air
bags and you want to secure a rear
in the right front passenger's seat, turn off the
passenger's air bag. See "Air Bag Off Switch" and
"Securing a Child Restraint in the Right Front Seat
Position" in the Index for more on this, including
important safety information.
