Manual
Passenger
Sensing
System
Accident statistics show that children are safer if they are
I
restrained in the rear rather than the front seat. General
Motors,
therefore, recommends that child restraints be
secured in
a
rear
seat,
including an infant riding in a
rear-facing infant seat,
a
child riding
in
a
forward-facing
child seat and an older child riding in a booster seat.
Never put a child in rear-facing child restraint in the tight
front passenger seat unless your vehicle has the
passenger sensing system and the passenger air bag
status indicator
shows
off.
Never
put
a rear-facing child
restraint in the right front passenger seat unless the air
bag
is
off.
A
child
in
a
rear-facing child restraint can be
seriously injured or killed
if
the
right
front
passenger’s air bag inflates. This
is
because
the back
of
the rear-facing child restraint
would be very close to the inflating air bag.
Be
sure the air bag
is
off
before using
a
rear-facing child restraint
in
the
right
front seat
position.
