To remove the child restraint, just unbuckle the vehicle's
safety belt and let it go back all the way. The safety
belt will move freely again and be ready to work for an
adult or larger child passenger.
Securing a Child Restraint in the
Right Front Seat Position (Regular
and Extended Cab Models)
Your vehicle has a right front passenger air bag. There
is a switch on the instrument panel that you can use
to turn off the right front passenger's air bag when you
need to secure a rear-facing child restraint at the
right front passenger's position. See the following
illustration. Your switch may vary slightly. See Air Bag
Off Switch on page 1-71 for more on this, including
important safety information and illustrations of alternate
switch designs.

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. Be
sure the air bag is off before using a
rear-facing child restraint in the right front seat
position.
Even though the Passenger Sensing System
and/or AIR BAG OFF switch are designed to
turn off the passenger's frontal air bag under
certain conditions, 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. General Motors
therefore recommends that rear-facing child
restraints be transported in vehicles with a
rear seat that will accommodate a rear-facing
child restraint, whenever possible.
