A
child in a rear-facing child restraint can be
seriously injured if the right front passenger’s air
bag inflates. This
is
because the back of a
rear-facing 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.
4.
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.
