Where to Put the Restraint (Regular Cab
and Extended Cab Pickup)
The child restraint must be secured properly in the right
front passenger seat. If you want to secure a rear
child restraint in the right front passenger's seat, turn off
the passenger's air bag. See "Air Bag Off Switch" and
"Securing a Child Restraint in the Right Front Seat
Position" in the Index for more on this, including
important safety information.
CAUTION:
-
A child in a rear
facing child restraint can be
seriously injured or killed if the right front
passenger's air bag inflates. This is because the
-
back of the rear
facing child restraint would be
very close to the inflating air bag. Be sure to turn
off the air bag before using a rear
restraint in the right front seat position.
Where to Put the Restraint
(Crew Cab Pickup)
Accident statistics show that children are safer if they
-
facing
are restrained in the rear rather than the front seat.
General Motors, therefore, recommends that child
restraints be secured in a rear seat outside position,
including an infant riding in a rear
child riding in a forward
child riding in a booster seat. Never put a rear
child restraint in the right front passenger's seat.
