GMC 2005 Canyon - Manual (Page 64)

Unless the right front passenger’s frontal airbag has
been turned off, never put a rear facing child restraint in
the right front passenger’s seat. Here is why:
{ CAUTION:
A child in a rear-facing child restraint can be
seriously injured or killed if the right front
passenger’s frontal airbag inflates. This is
because the back of the rear-facing child
restraint would be very close to the inflating
airbag. Do not use a rear-facing child restraint
in this vehicle unless the airbag has been
turned off.
Even though the airbag off switch is designed
to turn off the right front passenger’s frontal
airbag, 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.
{ CAUTION:
If the airbag readiness light ever comes on
when you have turned off the airbag, it means
that something may be wrong with the airbag
system. The right front passenger’s frontal
airbag could inflate even though the switch is
off. If this ever happens, do not let anyone
whom the national government has identified
as a member of a passenger airbag risk group
sit in the right front passenger’s position
(for example, do not secure a rear-facing child
restraint in your vehicle) until you have your
vehicle serviced. See Airbag Off Switch on
page 1-71.
If your child restraint is equipped with the LATCH
system, see Lower Anchorages and Top Tethers for
Children (LATCH System) on page 1-46. See Top Strap
on page 1-42 if the child restraint has one.
