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 your vehicle is a regular cab pickup and 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
“AIR BAG OFF Switch” in the Index.
If your vehicle is an extended cab pickup and 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 the right front
passenger’s seat) until you have your vehicle
serviced. See “AIR BAG OFF Switch” in the Index.
You’ll be using the lap - shoulder belt. See the earlier part
about the top strap if the child restraint has one. Be sure
to follow the instructions that came with the child
restraint. Secure the child in the child restraint when and
as the instructions say.
1. Your vehicle has a right front passenger’s air bag.
If you are using a rear - facing child restraint in this
seat, make sure the air bag is turned off. (See “AIR
BAG OFF Switch” in the Index.) 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 “Seats” in the Index.)
2. Put the restraint on the seat.
3. Pick up the latch plate, and run the lap and shoulder
portions of the vehicle’s safety belt through or
around the restraint. The child restraint instructions
will show you how.
If the shoulder belt goes in front of the child’s face or
neck, put it behind the child restraint.
