CAUTION: (Continued)
If this ever happens, don’t 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, don’t
secure a rear
- facing child restraint in your
vehicle) until you have your vehicle serviced.
See “Air Bag Off Switch” in the Index.
Crew Cab Models: Your vehicle has a right front
passenger air bag. Never put a rear
- facing child
restraint in this seat. Here’s why:
CAUTION:
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. Always secure
a rear
- facing child restraint in the rear seat.
Although a rear seat is a safer place, you can secure a
forward
- facing child restraint in the right front seat.
Regular Cab and Extended Cab Models: Your vehicle
has a right front passenger air bag. There’s a switch on
the instrument panel that you can use to turn off the
right front passenger’s air bag when you want to secure
a rear
- facing child restraint at the right front passenger’s
position. See “Air Bag Off Switch” in the Index for
more on this, including important safety information.
CAUTION:
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 to
turn off the air bag before using a rear
- facing
child restraint in the right front seat position.
If a forward
- facing child restraint is suitable for
your child, always move the passenger seat as far
back as it will go.
