Securing A Child Restraint In The Right Front Seat Position - Cadillac 1998 Eldorado Owner's Manual

Securing a Child Restraint in the Right
Front Seat Position
Your vehicle has a right front passenger air bag. Never
put a rea'r-facing child restraint in this seat.. Here's why:
I
A
CAUTION:
A child in a rearfacing child restraint can be
seriously injured if the right front passenger's air
bag inflates. This is because the back of a
rearfacing child restraint would be very close to
the inflating air bag. Always secure a rearfacing
child restraint in the rear seat.
You'll be using the lap-shoulder belt. See the earlier part
about the top strap if the child restraint has one. Be sure
to follow the instructions that came with the child
restraint. Secure
the child in
the child restraint when and
as the instructions say.
1. Because your vehicle has a right front passenger air
bag, always move the seat as far back as it will go
before securing a forward-facing-child restraint.
(See "Seats" in the Index.)
2.
Put the restraint
on
the seat.
3. Pick up the latch plate, and run the lap and shoulder
portions of the vehicle's safety belt through or
around the restraint. The child restraint instructions
will show you how.
If the shoulder belt goes in front of the child's face
or neck, put it behind the child restraint.
