In addition, your vehicle has a passenger sensing
system. The passenger sensing system is
designed to turn off the right front passenger's
frontal airbag and side airbag (if equipped) when
an infant in a rear-facing infant seat or a small
child in a forward-facing child restraint or booster
seat is detected. See Passenger Sensing
System on page 80 and Passenger Airbag Status
Indicator on page 166 for more information on
this including important safety information.
A label on your sun visor 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.
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.

CAUTION: (Continued)
Even though the passenger sensing
system is designed to turn off the
passenger's frontal airbag and side 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 or airbags will not deploy under
some unusual circumstance, even though
it is turned off. General Motors
recommends that rear-facing child
restraints be secured in the rear seat,
even if the airbag or airbags are off.
If you need to secure a forward-facing child
restraint in the right front seat position, move the
seat as far back as it will go before securing
the forward-facing child restraint. See Manual
Seats on page 8.
