Front Seat Position - Buick 2009 Enclave Owner's Manual

1-42 Seats and Restraint System
6. If the child restraint has a top
tether, follow the child restraint
manufacturer's instructions
regarding the use of the top
tether. See Lower Anchors and
Tethers for Children (LATCH)
on page 1-34 for more
information.
7. Push and pull the child restraint
in different directions to be sure
it is secure.
To remove the child restraint,
unbuckle the vehicle safety belt and
let it return to the stowed position.
If the top tether is attached to a top
tether anchor, disconnect it.
Securing a Child
Restraint in the Right

Front Seat Position

The vehicle has airbags. A rear
seat is a safer place to secure
a forward-facing child restraint.
See Where to Put the Restraint on
page 1-32.
In addition, the vehicle has a
passenger sensing system which is
designed to turn off the right
front passenger frontal airbag and
seat-mounted side impact airbag
under certain conditions. See
Passenger Sensing System on
page 1-53 and Passenger Airbag
Status Indicator on page 3-32
for more information, including
important safety information.
A label on the sun visor says,
"Never put a rear-facing child seat
in the front." This is because the risk
to the rear-facing child is so great,
if the airbag deploys.
{
CAUTION
A child in a rear-facing child
restraint can be seriously injured or
killed if the right front passenger
airbag inflates. This is because
the back of the rear-facing child
restraint would be very close to
the inflating airbag. A child in a
forward-facing child restraint can
be seriously injured or killed if the
right front passenger airbag
inflates and the passenger seat is
in a forward position.
