GMC 2005 Canyon - Manual (Page 57)

1. Your vehicle has a right front passenger’s frontal
airbag. See Airbag Off Switch on page 1-71.
If your child restraint is forward-facing, always move
the seat as far back as it will go before securing
it in this seat. See Manual Seats on page 1-3
or Power Seats on page 1-4. Never use a
rear-facing child restraint in this seat unless the
airbag is off.
2. Find the LATCH anchorages in the passenger seat.
See Lower Anchorages and Top Tethers for
Children (LATCH System) on page 1-46.
3. Put the child restraint on the seat.
4. Attach the LATCH attachments on the child
restraint to the LATCH anchorages in the vehicle.
The child restraint instructions will show you how.
5. If the child restraint is forward-facing, attach the
top tether to the top tether anchorage if your child
restraint has one. The child restraint instructions
will show you how. You must pull the seatback
forward to access the top tether anchorage.
See Seatback Latches on page 1-8 and Top Strap
Anchor Location on page 1-43.
6. Tighten the LATCH attachments and top tether.
The child restraint instructions will show you how.
7. Push and pull the child restraint in different
directions to be sure it is secure.
To remove the child restraint, loosen and disconnect the
LATCH attachments and loosen the top tether. Pull
the seatback forward, and unhook the top tether from
the top tether anchorage. Be sure to return the seatback
to its fully upright position. See Seatback Latches on
page 1-8.
Turn on the right front passenger’s frontal airbag when
you remove the child restraint from the vehicle unless
the person who will be sitting there is a member of
a passenger airbag risk group. See Airbag Off Switch
on page 1-71.
{ CAUTION:
If the right front passenger’s frontal airbag is
turned off for a person who is not in a risk
group identified by the national government,
that person will not have the extra protection
of an airbag. In a crash, the airbag would not
be able to inflate and help protect the person
sitting there. Do not turn off the right front
passenger’s frontal airbag unless the person
sitting there is in a risk group. See Airbag Off
Switch on page 1-71 for more on this,
including important safety information.
