Your vehicle may have a label on your sun visor that
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.
Never put a child in a rear-facing child restraint in the
passenger's seat unless the passenger airbag status
indicator shows off. Never put a rear facing child
restraint in the passenger's seat unless the airbag is off.
Here is why:
CAUTION:
{
A child in a rear-facing child restraint can be
seriously injured or killed if the right front
passenger's airbag inflates. This is because
the back of the rear facing child restraint
would be very close to the inflating airbag.
Be sure the airbag is off before using a
rear-facing child restraint in the passenger's
position.
CAUTION: (Continued)
CAUTION: (Continued)
Even though the passenger sensing system is
designed to turn off the passenger's frontal
airbag and side impact airbag (if equipped) if
the system detects a rear-facing child restraint,
no system is fail-safe, and no one can guarantee
that an airbag will not deploy under some
unusual circumstance, even though it is turned
off. We recommend that rear-facing child
restraints be transported in vehicles with a
rear seat that will accommodate a rear-facing
child restraint, whenever possible.
If you need to secure a forward-facing child restraint in
the passenger's position, move the seat as far back
as it will go before securing the forward-facing
child restraint. See Manual Seats on page 1-2 or
Six-Way Power Seats on page 1-2.
