3-66 Seats and Restraints
To remove the child restraint,
unbuckle the vehicle safety
belt and let it return to the
stowed position. If the top tether
is attached to a top tether anchor,
disconnect it. If the head restraint
was removed, reinstall it before
the seating position is used.
See “Head Restraint Removal
and Reinstallation” under Lower
Anchors and Tethers for Children
(LATCH System) on page 3‑55 for
additional information on installing
the head restraint properly. Securing Child Restraints
(Front Passenger Seat)
This vehicle has airbags. A rear
seat is a safer place to secure
a forward-facing child restraint.
See Where to Put the Restraint on
page 3‑53.
In addition, the vehicle has a
passenger sensing system which
is designed to turn off the right
front passenger frontal airbag under
certain conditions. See Passenger
Sensing System on page 3‑39 and
Passenger Airbag Status Indicator
on page 5‑17 for more information,
including important safety
information.
A label on the sun visor says,
“Never put a rear-facing child seat
in the front.” This is because the risk
to the rear-facing child is so great,
if the airbag deploys.
{
WARNING
A child in a rear-facing child
restraint can be seriously
injured or killed if the right
front passenger airbag inflates.
This is because the back of the
rear-facing child restraint would
be very close to the inflating
airbag. A child in a forward-facing
child restraint can be seriously
injured or killed if the right front
passenger airbag inflates and the
passenger seat is in a forward
position.
Even if the passenger sensing
system has turned off the right
front passenger frontal airbag,
no system is fail-safe. No one
can guarantee that an airbag will
not deploy under some unusual
circumstance, even though it is
turned off.
