Where to Put the Restraint

(Regular Cab Models)

If your vehicle is a regular cab model with an
air-suspension seat in the right front passenger's
position, there is no place in your vehicle to
secure a child restraint. The only answer is to have
smaller children make the trip in another vehicle,
where they can get the protection they need.
CAUTION:
{
A child restraint cannot be secured
properly in an air-suspension type seat.
This is because an air-suspension seat is
designed to move up and down for an
adult passenger. Do not use a child
restraint in an air-suspension seat.
If your vehicle is a regular cab model with a static
seat in the right front passenger's position, or if
it has a bench seat, the child restraint must
be secured properly in the right front passenger's
seat. If your vehicle has airbags and you need
54
to secure a child restraint in the right front
passenger's seat, there is a switch on the
instrument panel that you can use to turn off the
passenger's airbag. See Airbag Off Switch on
page 76 and Securing a Child Restraint in
the Right Front Seat Position on page 63 for more
on this, including important safety information.
Unless the passenger's airbag has been turned off,
never put a rear-facing child restraint in this
vehicle. Here is why:
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.
