GMC 2006 Sierra - Manual (Page 47)

Never put a child in a rear-facing child restraint in the right
front passenger seat unless your vehicle has the
passenger sensing system or an airbag off switch and the
passenger airbag status indicator or the airbag off light
shows off. Never put a rear facing child restraint in the
right front passenger seat unless 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 or
airbag off switch are designed to turn off the
passenger’s frontal airbag under certain
conditions, 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. General Motors
CAUTION: (Continued)
CAUTION: (Continued)
recommends 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.
{ CAUTION:
A child in a child restraint in the center front
seat can be badly injured or killed by the right
front passenger’s airbag if it inflates. Never
secure a child restraint in the center front seat.
It is always better to secure a child restraint in
the rear seat.
Do not use child restraints in the center front seat
position. The restraints will not work properly.
