Securing Child Restraints (Front Passenger Seat) - Cadillac CTS Owner's Manual

94 Seats and Restraints
5. If the child restraint has a top
tether, follow the child restraint
manufacturer's instructions
regarding the use of the top
tether. See ISOFIX Child
Restraint Systems 0 92 for
more information.
6. Before placing a child in the
child restraint, make sure it is
securely held in place. Push
and pull the child restraint in
different directions to be sure it
is secure.
To remove the child restraint,
unfasten the vehicle safety belt and
let it return to the stowed position.
If the top tether is attached to a top
tether anchor, disconnect it.
Securing Child Restraints
(Front Passenger Seat)
This vehicle has airbags. A rear
seat is a safer place to secure a
forward-facing child restraint. See
Where to Put the Restraint 0 88.
In addition, the vehicle has a
passenger sensing system which is
designed to turn off the front
outboard passenger frontal airbag
and knee airbag under certain
conditions. See Passenger Sensing
System 0 77 and Passenger Airbag
Status Indicator 0 118.
Warning
Do not use a rearward facing
child restraint on a seat protected
by an airbag in front of it!
Danger
When using a child restraint
system on the front passenger
seat, the airbag systems 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.
DO NOT place rear-facing child seat
on this seat. DEATH OR SERIOUS
INJURY can occur. This is because
the risk to the rear-facing child is so
great, if the airbag deploys.
If the child restraint uses a top
tether, see ISOFIX Child Restraint
Systems 0 92 for top tether anchor
locations.
Do not secure a child seat in a
position without a top tether anchor
if a national or local law requires
that the top tether be anchored, or if
the instructions that come with the
child restraint say that the top strap
must be anchored.
