Seats and Restraints 71
Warning (Continued)
or killed if the front outboard passenger
frontal airbag inflates and the passenger
seat is in aforward position.
Even if the passenger sensing system has
turned off the front outboard passenger
frontal airbag, no system is fail-safe. No
one can guarantee that an airbag will not
deploy under some unusual circumstance,
even though it is turned off.
Secure rear-facing child restraints in arear
seat, even if the airbag is off. If you secure
aforward-facing child restraint in the front
outboard passenger seat, always move the
seat as far back as it will go. It is better to
secure the child restraint in arear seat.
See Passenger Sensing System 351 for
additional information.
If the child restraint uses atop tether, see
L
ower Anchors and Tethers for Children (LATCH
System) 362 for top tether anchor locations.
Do not secure achild seat in aposition without
atop tether anchor if anational or local law
requires that the top tether be anchored,
or if the instructions that come with the
c
hild restraint say that the top tether must
be anchored.
In Canada, the law requires that forward-facing
child restraints have atop tether, and that the
tether be attached.
When using the lap-shoulder belt to secure
the child restraint in this position, follow the
instructions that came with the child restraint
and the following instructions:
1. Move the seat as far back as it will go before
securing the forward-facing child restraint.
Move the seat upward or the seatback to
an upright position, if needed, to get a tight
installation of the child restraint.
When the passenger sensing system has
turned off the front outboard passenger
frontal airbag, the OFF indicator on the
passenger airbag status indicator should
light and stay lit when you start the vehicle.
See Passenger Airbag Status Indicator 3 88.
2. Put the child restraint on the seat.
3. Pick up the latch plate, and run the lap
and shoulder portions of the vehicle seat
belt through or around the restraint. Ensure
the seat belt webbing is routed as direct
as possible, and is not caught on seat
h
andles or plastic trim. The child restraint
instructions will show you how.
Tilt the latch plate to adjust the belt
if needed.
