A label on your 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.
CAUTION:
{
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.
Even if the passenger sensing system has
turned off the right front passenger frontal
airbag, no system is fail-safe. No one can
guarantee that an airbag will not deploy under
some unusual circumstance, even though it is
turned off.

CAUTION: (Continued)
CAUTION: (Continued)
Secure rear-facing child restraints in a rear
seat, even if the airbag is off. If you secure a
forward-facing child restraint in the right front
seat, always move the front passenger seat as
far back as it will go. It is better to secure the
child restraint in a rear seat.
See Passenger Sensing System on page 1-51
for additional information.
We recommend that rear-facing child restraints not be
transported in your vehicle, even if the airbag(s) are off.
If your child restraint has the LATCH system, see
Lower Anchors and Tethers for Children (LATCH)
(Z06 Models Only) on page 1-36 or Lower Anchors and
Tethers for Children (LATCH) (Coupe and Convertible
Models Only) on page 1-39 for how to install your
child restraint using LATCH. If you secure a child
restraint using a safety belt and it uses a top tether,
see Lower Anchors and Tethers for Children (LATCH)
(Z06 Models Only) on page 1-36 or Lower Anchors
and Tethers for Children (LATCH) (Coupe and
Convertible Models Only) on page 1-39 for top tether
anchor locations.
