If your child restraint is equipped with the LATCH
system, see

There is no top strap anchor in the right front passenger’s
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 1-37 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 a right front passenger’s frontal

airbag. See

Passenger Sensing System on

page 1-58. 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 Passenger Seat on page 1-2 or

Power Seats on page 1-2.

When the passenger sensing system has turned off
the right front passenger’s frontal airbag, the off
indicator in the passenger airbag status indicator
should light and stay lit when you turn the ignition to
ON or START. See

Passenger Airbag Status

Indicator on page 3-40.

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.

Tilt the latch plate to adjust the belt if needed.
