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’s airbag inflates. This is because
the back of the rear-facing child restraint
would be very close to the inflating airbag.

Even though the passenger sensing system is
designed to turn off the passenger’s frontal
airbag if the system detects a rear-facing child
restraint, no system is fail-safe, and no one
can guarantee that an airbag will not deploy
under some unusual circumstance, even
though it is turned off. We recommend that
rear-facing child restraints be secured in the
rear seat, even if the airbag is off.

If you need to secure a forward-facing child restraint in
the right front seat position, move the seat as far
back as it will go before securing the forward-facing
child restraint. See Six-Way Power Seats on page 1-3.

If your child restraint is equipped with the LATCH
system, see Lower Anchors and Tethers for Children
(LATCH)
on page 1-41.

There is no top tether anchor in the right front
passenger’s position. Do not secure a child restraint in
this position if a national or local law requires that
the top tether be anchored or if the instructions that
come with the child restraint say that the top tether must
be anchored. See Lower Anchors and Tethers for
Children (LATCH)
on page 1-41 if the child restraint has
a top tether.
