CAUTION:
A child in a rear - facing child restraint can be
seriously injured or killed if the right front
passenger’s air bag inflates, even though your
vehicle has Next Generation frontal air bags. 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.
Although a rear seat is a safer place, you can secure a
forward
- facing child restraint in the right front seat.
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 air bag could inflate
even though the switch is off.
If your vehicle is a regular cab pickup and 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.
