Securing A Child Restraint In The Right Front Seat Position - Chevrolet 1998 Cavalier Owner's Manual

Securing
a
Child Restraint
in the Right
Front
Seat
Position
Your vehicle has a right front passenger air bag. Never
put a rear-facing child restraint in this seat. Here's why:
I
A
CAUTION:
A child in a rear-facing child restraint can be
seriously injured if the right front passenger's air
bag inflates, even though your vehicle has
reduced-force frontal air bags. This is because
the back of a rearfacing child restraint would be
very close to the inflating air bag. Always secure
a rearfacing child restraint in the rear 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 right 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.
