Securing a Child Restraint in the
Right Front Seat Position
1-72
Your vehicle has a right front passenger air bag. A rear
seat is a safer place to secure a forward-facing child
restraint. Unless your vehicle has the passenger sensing
system, never put a rear-facing child restraint in this seat.
Here's why:

CAUTION:
A child in a rear-facing child restraint can be
seriously injured or killed if the right front
passenger's air bag inflates. This is because
the back of the rear-facing child restraint
would be very close to the inflating air bag.
Always secure a rear-facing child restraint in a
rear seat unless the air bag is off.
If your vehicle has the passenger sensing system and
you need to secure a rear-facing child restraint in
the right front passenger's seat, the passenger's air bag
must be off. See Passenger Sensing System on
page 1-85 and Passenger Air Bag Status Indicator on
page 3-38 for more information on this including
important safety information.
