2-54 Seats and Restraints
A label on the sun visor says,
"Never put a rear-facing child seat
in the front." This is because the risk
to the rear-facing child is so great,
if the airbag deploys.
{
CAUTION
A child in a rear-facing child
restraint can be seriously injured or
killed if the right front passenger
airbag inflates. This is because
the back of the rear-facing child
restraint would be very close to
the inflating airbag. A child in a
forward-facing child restraint can
be seriously injured or killed if
the right front passenger airbag
inflates and the passenger seat
is in a forward position.
CAUTION (Continued)
Even if the passenger sensing
system has turned off the right
front passenger frontal airbag, no
system is fail-safe. No one can
guarantee that an airbag will not
deploy under some unusual
circumstance, even though it
is turned off.
Secure rear-facing child restraints
in a rear seat, even if the airbag is
off. If you secure a forward-facing
child restraint in the right front seat,
always move the front passenger
seat as far back as it will go. It is
better to secure the child restraint
in a rear seat.
See Passenger Sensing System
(Continued)
on page 2-29 for additional
information.
If the child restraint has the LATCH
system, see Lower Anchors and
Tethers for Children (LATCH
System) on page 2-45 for how and
where to install the child restraint
using LATCH. If a child restraint is
secured in the seating position using
a safety belt and it uses a top tether,
see Lower Anchors and Tethers
for Children (LATCH System) on
page 2-45 for top tether anchor
locations.
Do not secure a child seat in a
position without a top tether anchor
if a national or local law requires
that the top tether be anchored,
or if the instructions that come
with the child restraint say that
the top strap must be anchored.
In Canada, the law requires
that forward-facing child restraints
have a top tether, and that the tether
be attached.
