Securing a Child Restraint in the Right
Front Seat Position
Your vehicle has a 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 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 a rear seat.
Although a rear seat is a safer place, you can secure a
forward
- facing child restraint in the right front seat.
You’ll be using the lap - shoulder belt. See the earlier
part about the top strap if the child restraint has one.
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. Because your vehicle has a right front passenger
air bag, always move the seat as far back as it will
go before securing a forward
- facing child restraint.
See “Seats” in the Index.
2. Put the restraint on the seat.
