CAUTION:

If the air bag readiness light ever comes on
when you have turned off the air bag, it means
that something may be wrong with the air bag
system. The right front passenger’s frontal air
bag could inflate even though the switch is off.
If this ever happens, do not let anyone whom
the national government has identified as a
member of a passenger air bag risk group
sit in the right front passenger’s position
(for example, do not secure a rear-facing child
restraint in your vehicle) until you have your
vehicle serviced. See Air Bag Off Switch
on
page 1-70
.

If your child restraint is equipped with the LATCH
system, see Lower Anchorages and Top Tethers for
Children (LATCH System)
on page 1-46. See Top Strap
on page 1-42 if the child restraint has one.

If your child restraint does not have the LATCH system,
you will be using the lap-shoulder belt to secure the
child restraint in this position. Be sure to follow the
instructions that came with the child restraint. Secure
the child in the child restraint when and as the
instructions say.

1. Your vehicle has a right front passenger’s frontal

air bag. See Air Bag Off Switch on page 1-70.
If your child restraint is forward-facing, always move
the seat as far back as it will go before securing
it in this seat. See Manual Seats on page 1-3
or Power Seats on page 1-4.

2. Put the child restraint on the seat.

3. Pick up the latch plate, and run the lap and shoulder

portions of the vehicle’s safety belt through or
around the restraint. The child restraint instructions
will show you how.
