If the air bag readiness light ever comes on when
you have turned off the air bag, it means that
something may be wrong with the air bag
system.
The right front passenger's air bag could inflate
even though the switch is off. If this ever
happens, don't secure a rear-facing child
restraint in your vehicle until you have your
vehicle serviced.
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. Your vehicle has a right front passenger's air bag. If
you are using a rear-facing child restraint in this seat,
make sure the air bag is turned off. If your child
restraint is forward-facing, always move the seat as
far back as it will go before securing
it
in this seat.
(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.
4. Buckle the belt. Make sure
the
release button is
positioned so you would be able to unbuckle the
safety belt quickly if you ever had
to.
