If you need to secure a forward-facing child restraint in
the passenger’s position, move the seat as far back
as it will go before securing the forward-facing
child restraint. See Power Seats on page 1-2.

There is no top tether anchor at the passenger’s seating
position. Do not secure a child seat in this position if
a national or local law requires that the top tether
be anchored or if the instructions that come with the
child restraint say that the top tether must be anchored.
See Lower Anchors and Tethers for Children (LATCH)
on page 1-27.

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 1-40. General Motors recommends
that rear-facing child restraints be secured in a
rear seat, even if the airbags are 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 Power Seats on page 1-2.

When the passenger sensing system has turned
off the right front passenger’s airbags, the off
indicator in the passenger airbag status indicator
should light and stay lit when the vehicle is
started. See Passenger Airbag Status Indicator
on page 3-52.

2. Put the child restraint on the seat.

3. Pick up the latch plate, and run the lap and shoulder

portions of the vehicle’s safety belt through or
around the restraint. The child restraint instructions
will show you how.
