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. If a
-
forward facing child restraint is suitable for your
child, always move the passenger seat as far back
as it will go.
Although a rear seat is a safer place, you can secure a
-
forward facing child restraint in the right front seat.

facing child
CAUTION:
If the air bag readiness light ever comes on when
you have turned off the air bag, it means that
something may be wrong with the air bag system.
The right front passenger's air bag could inflate
even though the switch is off.
If your vehicle is a regular cab pickup and this
ever happens, don't let anyone whom the
national government has identified as a member
of a passenger air bag risk group sit in the right
front passenger's position (for example, don't
-
secure a rear facing child restraint in your
vehicle) until you have your vehicle serviced.
See "Air Bag Off Switch" in the Index.
If your vehicle is an extended cab pickup and this
ever happens, don't let anyone whom the national
government has identified as a member of a
passenger air bag risk group sit in the right front
passenger's position (for example, don't secure a
-
rear facing child restraint in the right front
passenger's seat) until you have your vehicle
serviced. See "Air Bag Off Switch" in the Index.
