Securing A Child Restraint In The Right Front Seat Position - Chevrolet Kodiak 2008 Owner's Manual

Securing a Child Restraint in the
Center Front Seat Position
CAUTION:
{
A child in a child restraint in the center front
seat can be badly injured or killed by the
frontal airbags if they inflate. Never secure a
child restraint in the center front seat if your
vehicle has airbags or if it interferes with
shifting gears. It is always better to secure a
child restraint in a rear seat.
Do not use child restraints in the center front seat
position if your vehicle has airbags. If your vehicle does
not have airbags, use the instructions for Securing a
Child Restraint in the Center Rear Seat Position (Crew
Cab) on page 1-42 to install a child restraint in the
center front position.

Securing a Child Restraint in the
Right Front Seat Position
Your vehicle may have airbags. A rear seat is a safer
place to secure a forward-facing child restraint. See
Where to Put the Restraint on page 1-38.
There may be a switch on the instrument panel that you
can use to turn off the right front passenger's frontal
airbag. See Airbag Off Switch on page 1-56 for more 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.
