Securing A Child Restraint In The Right Front; Securing A Child Restraint In The Right Front Seat Position - Cadillac DTS 2011 Owner's Manual

Securing a Child Restraint in the
Center Front Seat Position
WARNING:
A child in a child restraint in the center front seat
can be badly injured or killed by the frontal
airbags if they inflate. Never secure a child
restraint in the center front seat. It is always better
to secure a child restraint in a rear seat.
Do not use child restraints in the center front seat
position.
Securing a Child Restraint in the
Right Front Seat Position
This 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 2 39.
2-50
In addition, the vehicle has a passenger sensing system
which is designed to turn off the right front passenger
frontal airbag and seat-mounted side impact airbag
under certain conditions. See Passenger Sensing
System on page 2 64 and Passenger Airbag Status
Indicator on page 4 48 for more information, including
important safety information.
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.
WARNING:
A child in a rear-facing child restraint can be
seriously injured or killed if the right front
passenger airbag inflates. This is because the
back of the rear-facing child restraint would be
very close to the inflating airbag. A child in a
forward-facing child restraint can be seriously
injured or killed if the right front passenger airbag
inflates and the passenger seat is in a forward
position.
