Sensing System 368 and Passenger Airbag
Status Indicator 3113 for more information,
including important safety information.
Never put arear-facing child restraint in the
front. This is because the risk to the rear-facing
child is so great, if the airbag deploys.

A
child in arear-facing child restraint can
b
e
seriously injured or killed if the front
outboard passenger frontal airbag inflates.
This is because the back of the rear-facing
child restraint would be very close to the
inflating airbag. Achild in aforward-facing
child restraint can be seriously injured
or killed if the front outboard passenger
frontal airbag inflates and the passenger
seat is in aforward 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.

Warning (Continued)
Secure rear-facing child restraints in arear
seat, even if the airbag is off. If you secure
aforward-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 arear seat.
See Passenger Sensing System 368 for
additional information.
If the child restraint uses atop tether, see
L
o
wer Anchors and Tethers for Children (LATCH
System) 381 for top tether anchor locations.
Do not secure achild seat in aposition without
atop tether anchor if anational or local law
requires that the top tether be anchored,
or if the instructions that come with the
child restraint say that the top tether must
be anchored.
In Canada, the law requires that forward-facing
child restraints have atop 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:
{ Warning

n create more legroom by moving the
front passenger seat with controls located
on the rear center display screen.To
prevent serious injury or death in acrash,
do not permit arear seat passenger to
move the front seat if someone is seated
there. Disable the controls by activating
Rear Control Lock from the front center
display screen.
1. Move the seat as far back as it will go before
s
ecuring 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.

3113.
2. Put the child restraint on the seat.
