Securing a Child Restraint in the Right
Front Seat Position
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

“Seats”
in
the
Index.)
Put
the restraint on the seat. Follow the instructions
for the child restraint.
