Securing
a
Child Restraint in the Right
Front
Seat
Position
Your vehicle has a right front passenger air bag.
Never
put a rea‘r-facing child restraint
in
this seat.. Here’s why:
I
A
CAUTION:
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 rearfacing
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.
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.
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.
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.
