Unless your vehicle has an air bag off switch and you
have used it to turn the passenger's air bag off,
never put a rear-facing child restraint in the right front
passenger's seat. Here's why:
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. If
your vehicle is a passenger van, always secure
a rear-facing child restraint in a rear seat. If
your vehicle is a cargo van with a right front
passenger air bag and an air bag off switch, be
sure to turn off the air bag before using a
rear-facing child restraint in the right front seat
position.
CAUTION: (Continued)
CAUTION: (Continued)
If your vehicle is a cargo van with a right front
passenger air bag but does not have an air
bag off switch, do not use a rear-facing child
restraint in this vehicle.
Even though the air bag off switch is designed
to turn off the passenger's frontal air bag, no
system is fail-safe and no one can guarantee
that an air bag will not deploy under some
unusual circumstance, even though it is turned
off. GM recommends that rear-facing child
restraints be transported in vehicles with a
rear seat that will accommodate a rear-facng
child restraint whenever possible.
If you secure a forward-facing child restraint
in the right front passenger position, always
move the passenger seat as far back as it
will go.
A rear seat is a safer place to secure a forward-facing
child restraint. See Where to Put the Restraint on
page 1-43.
