Chevrolet 2005 SSR Pickup Owner's Manual page 33

When choosing a child restraint, be sure the child
restraint is designed to be used in a vehicle. If it is,
it will have a label saying that it meets federal motor
vehicle safety standards.
Then follow the instructions for the restraint. You may
find these instructions on the restraint itself or in a
booklet, or both. These restraints use the belt system
in your vehicle, but the child also has to be secured
within the restraint to help reduce the chance of personal
injury. When securing an add-on child restraint, refer
to the instructions that come with the restraint which
may be on the restraint itself or in a booklet, or both,
and to this manual. The child restraint instructions
are important, so if they are not available, obtain a
replacement copy from the manufacturer.
The child restraint must be secured properly in the
passenger seat. If you want to secure a rear-facing child
restraint in the passenger's seat, turn off the passenger's
airbag. See Airbag Off Switch on page 1-47 and
Securing a Child Restraint in the Passenger Seat
Position on page 1-34 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 passenger's
airbag inflates. This is because the back of the
rear-facing child restraint would be very close
to the inflating airbag. Be sure to turn off the
airbag before using a rear-facing child restraint
in the passenger seat position.
Keep in mind that an unsecured child restraint can
move around in a collision or sudden stop and injure
people in the vehicle. Be sure to properly secure
any child restraint in your vehicle — even when no
child is in it.
