GMC 2006 Savana Owner's Manual page 82

If your vehicle does not have a rear seat that will
accommodate a rear-facing child restraint, never put a
child in a rear-facing child restraint in the right front
passenger seat the unless passenger airbag status
indicator shows off. Never put a rear facing child
restraint in the right front passenger seat unless the
airbag is off. Here is why:
CAUTION:
{
A child in a rear-facing child restraint can be
seriously injured or killed if the right front
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 the airbag is off before using a rear-facing
child restraint in the right front seat position.
Eventhough the passenger sensing system is
designed to turn off the passenger's frontal
airbag if the system detects a rear-facing child
restraint, no system is fail-safe, and no one can
guarantee that an airbag will not deploy under
some unusual circumstance, even though it is
1-76

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 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.
The passenger sensing system is designed to turn off
the right front passenger's frontal airbag if:
•
the right front passenger seat is unoccupied
•
the system determines that an infant is present in a
rear-facing infant seat
•
the system determines that a small child is present
in a forward-facing child restraint
•
the system determines that a small child is present
in a booster seat
•
a right front passenger takes his/her weight off of
the seat for a period of time
