Securing Child Restraints; (Front Passenger Seat) - Cadillac 2014 SRX Owner's Manual

3-42 Seats and Restraints
4. To tighten the belt, push down
on the child restraint, pull the
shoulder portion of the belt to
tighten the lap portion of the belt,
and feed the shoulder belt back
into the retractor. When installing
a forward-facing child restraint, it
may be helpful to use your knee
to push down on the child
restraint as you tighten the belt.
If the child restraint system has
a lock-off mechanism, use it to
secure the vehicle safety belt.
5. If the child restraint has a top
tether, follow the child restraint
manufacturer's instructions
regarding the use of the top
tether. See ISOFIX Child
Restraint Systems on page 3-40
for more information.
6. Before placing a child in the
child restraint, make sure it is
securely held in place. Push and
pull the child restraint in different
directions to be sure it is secure.
To remove the child restraint,
unfasten the vehicle safety belt and
let it return to the stowed position.
If the top tether is attached to a top
tether anchor, disconnect it.

Securing Child Restraints

(Front Passenger Seat)

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 3-34.
There is a switch on the instrument
panel that you can use to turn off
the right front passenger frontal
airbag. See Airbag On-Off Switch on
page 3-25 for more information,
including important safety
information.
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 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
front passenger airbag inflates
and the passenger seat is in a
forward position.
