CAUTION: (Continued)
rear-facing child restraint in the right front seat
position. If your vehicle is a cargo van with a
right front passenger air bag but does not
have an air bag off switch, do not use a
rear-facing child restraint in this vehicle.
Even though the air bag off switch is designed
to turn off the passenger’s frontal air bag, no
system is fail-safe and no one can guarantee
that an air bag will not deploy under some
unusual circumstance, even though it is turned
off. GM recommends that rear-facing child
restraints be transported in vehicles with a
rear seat that will accommodate a rear-facng
child restraint whenever possible.
If you secure a forward-facing child restraint in
the right front passenger position, always move
the passenger seat as far back as it will go.
A rear seat is a safer place to secure a forward-facing
child restraint. See Where to Put the Restraint on
page 1-45.
{ CAUTION:
If the air bag readiness light ever comes on
when you have turned off the air bag, it means
that something may be wrong with the air bag
system. The right front passenger’s air bag
could inflate even though the switch is off. If
this ever happens, don’t let anyone whom the
national government has identified as a
member of a passenger air bag risk group sit
in the right front passenger’s position (for
example, don’t secure a rear-facing child
restraint in your vehicle) until you have your
vehicle serviced. See

1. If your vehicle has a passenger air bag and an air
bag off switch, and you are using a rear-facing child
restraint in this seat, make sure the air bag is
turned off. See Air Bag Off Switch on page 1-75. 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 Power Seat on page 1-4
or Manual Seats on page 1-3.
