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 Manual Seats on page 1-2.

If your child restraint is equipped with the LATCH
system, see Lower Anchorages and Top Tethers for
Children (LATCH System)
on page 1-38.

There is no top strap anchor at the right front seating
position. Do not secure a child seat in this position
if a national or local law requires that the top strap be
anchored or if the instructions that come with the
child restraint say that the top strap must be anchored.
See Top Strap on page 1-35 if your child restraint
has one.

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 airbags. See Passenger Sensing

System on page 1-56. General Motors recommends
that rear-facing child restraints be secured in a
rear seat, even if the airbag is off. If your child
restraint is forward-facing, move the seat as far
back as it will go before securing the child restraint
in this seat. See Manual Seats on page 1-2.

When the passenger sensing system has turned off
the right front passenger’s frontal airbag and
seat-mounted side impact airbag (if equipped),
the off indicator in the passenger airbag status
indicator should light and stay lit when you turn the
ignition to ON. See Passenger Airbag Status
Indicator
on page 3-30.

2. Put the child restraint on the seat.
