(Front Passenger Seat) - Cadillac CTS 2013 Owner's Manual

3-56 Seats and Restraints
In addition, the vehicle has a
passenger sensing system which is
designed to turn off the front
passenger frontal airbag under
certain conditions. See Passenger
Sensing System on page 3 27 and
Passenger Airbag Status Indicator
on page 5 18 for more information,
including important safety
information.
A label on the 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.
WARNING
A child in a rear-facing child
restraint can be seriously injured
or killed if the front passenger
airbag inflates. This is because
the back of the rear-facing child
restraint would be very close to
the inflating airbag. A child in a
forward-facing child restraint can
WARNING (Continued)
be seriously injured or killed if the
front passenger airbag inflates
and the passenger seat is in a
forward position.
Even if the passenger sensing
system has turned off the front
passenger frontal airbag, no
system is fail-safe. No one can
guarantee that an airbag will not
deploy under some unusual
circumstance, even though it is
turned off.
Secure rear-facing child restraints
in a rear seat, even if the airbag
is off. If you secure a
forward-facing child restraint in
the front seat, always move the
front passenger seat as far back
as it will go. It is better to secure
the child restraint in a rear seat.

WARNING (Continued)
See Passenger Sensing System
on page 3 27 for additional
information.
When using a child restraint
system on the front passenger
seat, the airbag system for the
front passenger seat must be
deactivated. If not, the triggering
of the airbags poses a risk of fatal
injury to the child. This is
especially the case if rear-facing
child restraint systems are used
on the front passenger seat.
