Oldsmobile 2000 Silhouette Owner's Manual page 97

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.
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.
1. Because your vehicle has a 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.

4. Tilt the latch plate to adjust the belt if needed.
If the shoulder belt goes in front of the child's face or
neck, put it behind the child restraint.
