Front Seat Position - GMC 2000 Safari Owner's Manual

Securing a Child Restraint in the Right

Front Seat Position

Your vehicle has a front passenger air bag. Never put a
-
rear facing child restraint in this seat. Here's why:
1-56
CAUTION:
-
A child in a rear facing child restraint can be
seriously injured or killed if the 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. If your vehicle is a
passenger van, always secure a rear
restraint in a rear seat.
If your vehicle is a cargo van, do not use a
-
rear facing child restraint in this vehicle. If a
-
forward facing child restraint is suitable for your
child, always move the passenger seat as far back
as it will go.
Although a rear seat is a safer place, you can secure a
-
forward facing child restraint in the right front 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.
