Securing A Child Restraint In The Right Front Seat Position (With Airbag Off Switch) - Chevrolet 2006 Express Van Owner's Manual

Securing a Child Restraint in
the Right Front Seat Position
(With Airbag Off Switch)
Your vehicle has a right front passenger airbag. There is
a switch on the instrument panel that you can use to turn
off the right front passenger's frontal airbag. See Airbag
Off Switch on page 1-73 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. Do not use a rear-facing
child restraint in this vehicle unless the
passenger's airbag has been turned off.

CAUTION: (Continued)
CAUTION: (Continued)
Even though the airbag off switch is designed
to turn off the passenger's frontal airbag,
no system is fail-safe, and no one can
guarantee that an airbag will not deploy under
some unusual circumstance, even though it is
turned off. We recommend that rear-facing
child restraints be transported in vehicles with
a rear seat that will accommodate a rear-facing
child restraint, whenever possible.
If you need to secure a forward-facing child
restraint in the passenger seat, always move
the passenger seat as far back as it will go.
