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.
A child in a rear-facing child restraint can be
seriously injured or killed if the right front
passenger's air bag inflates. This is because
the back of the rear-facing child restraint
would be very close to the inflating air bag. Be
sure the air bag is off before using a
rear-facing child restraint
in
the right front seat
position.
Even though the Passenger Sensing System
and/or AIR BAG OFF switch are designed to
turn off the passenger's frontal air bag under
certain conditions, no system is fail-safe, and
no one can guarantee that an air bag will not
deploy under some unusual circumstance,
even though it is turned off. General Motors
therefore recommends that rear-facing child
restraints be transported in vehicles with a
rear seat that will accommodate a rear-facing
child restraint, whenever possible.
CAUTION: (Continued)
If your vehicle has the passenger sensing system
and/or the AIR BAG OFF switch and you need to secure
a rear-facing child restraint in the right front passenger's
seat, the passenger's frontal air bag must be off.
See Passenger Sensing System on page 1-68, Securing
a Child Restraint in the Right Front Seat Position on
page 1-50, and Air Bag Off Switch on page 1-64
for more on this including important safety information.
Wherever you install it, be sure to secure the child
restraint properly.
Keep in mind that an unsecured child restraint can
move around in a collision or sudden stop and injure
people in the vehicle. Be sure to properly secure
any child restraint in your vehicle
-
even when no child
is in it.
