Securing a Child Restraint in the Right
Front Seat Position
Your vehicle has a right front passenger air bag.
Never
put
a
rear-facing child restraint in this seat. Here’s why:
A
child in a rearfacing child restraint can be
seriously injured if the right front passenger’s air
bag inflates. This is because the back of a
rearfacing child restraint would be very close to
the inflating air bag. Always secure a rear-facing
child restraint in the rear seat.

You’ll be using the lap-shoulder belt. See the earlier part
about the top strap if the child restraint has one.
1.
Because your vehicle has a right front passenger air
bag, always move the seat as far back as it will go
before securing
a
forward-facing child restraint. (See
“Seats’’ in the Index.)
2.
Put the restraint
on
the seat. Follow the instructions
for the child restraint.
3.
Secure the child in the child restraint as the
instructions say.
