Securing A Child Restraint In The Right Front Seat Position (Heavy Duty Crew Cab Only) - GMC Sierra 2008 Owner's Manual

7. If your child restraint manufacturer recommends
using a top tether and the position you are using has
a top tether anchor, attach and tighten the top tether
to the top tether anchor. Refer to the instructions that
came with the child restraint and to Lower Anchors
and Tethers for Children (LATCH) on page 1-46.
8. Push and pull the child restraint in different
directions to be sure it is secure.
If the airbag is off, the off indicator in the passenger
airbag status indicator will come on and stay on
when the vehicle is started.
If a child restraint has been installed and the on
indicator is lit, turn the vehicle off. Remove the child
restraint from the vehicle and reinstall the child restraint.
If, after reinstalling the child restraint and restarting
the vehicle, the on indicator is still lit, check to make
sure that the vehicle's seatback is not pressing the child
restraint into the seat cushion. If this happens, slightly
recline the vehicle's seatback and adjust the seat
cushion if possible. Also make sure the child restraint is
not trapped under the vehicle head restraint. If this
happens, adjust the head restraint.
Remove any additional material from the seat such as
blankets, cushions, seat covers, seat heaters or seat
massagers before reinstalling or securing the child
restraint.

If the on indicator is still lit, secure the child in the child
restraint in a rear seat position in the vehicle and check
with your dealer/retailer. If no rear seat is available, do
not install a child restraint in this vehicle and check with
your dealer/retailer.
To remove the child restraint, unbuckle the vehicle's
safety belt and let it go back all the way. If the top tether
is attached to a top tether anchor, disconnect it.
Securing a Child Restraint in
the Right Front Seat Position
(Heavy Duty Crew Cab Only)
Your vehicle has airbags. A rear seat is a safer place to
secure a forward-facing child restraint. See Where to
Put the Restraint on page 1-44.
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.
