If your vehicle does not have a rear seat that
will accommodate a rear-facing child restraint,
never put a child in a rear-facing child restraint
in the right front passenger seat unless the
passenger airbag status indicator shows off and
the airbag is off. Here is why:

{

CAUTION:

A child in a rear-facing child restraint
can be seriously injured or killed if the
right front passenger’s airbag inflates.
This is because the back of the
rear-facing child restraint would be very
close to the inflating airbag. Be sure the
airbag is off before using a rear-facing
child restraint in the right front seat
position.

Even though the passenger sensing
system is designed to turn off the
passenger’s frontal airbag if the system
detects a rear-facing child restraint,

CAUTION:

CAUTION:

(Continued)

no system is fail-safe, and no one can
guarantee that an airbag will not deploy
under some unusual circumstance, even
though it is turned off. We recommend
that rear-facing child restraints be
transported in vehicles with a rear seat
that will accommodate a rear-facing child
restraint, whenever possible.

If you need to secure a forward-facing
child restraint in the right front seat,
always move the front passenger seat as
far back as it will go. It is better to secure
the child restraint in a rear seat.

If your child restraint has the LATCH system, see
Lower Anchors and Tethers for Children (LATCH)
on page 56.

If your vehicle has rear seats, there is no top
tether anchor at the right front seating position.
