Seats and Restraints
. . . 172
CAUTION
A child in a rear-facing child
restraint in the front passenger
seating position could be seri-
ously injured or killed if the
passenger's air bag inflates. This
is because the back of the
restraint would be very close to
the inflating air bag.
Do not use a rear-facing
restraint in the front passenger's
seat.
CAUTION
Although your vehicle is
equipped with a passenger air
bag deactivation feature which
is designed to turn off the
passenger's air bag under
certain conditions, no system is
fail-safe. No one can guarantee
that an air bag will not deploy
under some unusual circum-
stance, even though the system
is deactivated.
In fact, because the risk to a
rear-facing child is so great if
the air bag deploys, there is a
label on your vehicle's sun visor
that cautions you never to put a
rear-facing child seat in the
front.
CAUTION (Continued)
It is also recommended that
forward-facing child restraints
be secured in a rear seat posi-
tion.
If, however, you secure a
forward-facing child restraint in
the front passenger seat, be
sure to move the front passen-
ger seat as far back as it will go.
A child in a forward-facing child
restraint in the front passenger
seating position could be seri-
ously injured or killed if the
passenger's air bag inflates and
the passenger seat is in a
forward position.
If a child restraint has been
installed and the Passenger Sens-
ing System has not deactivated the
air bag, turn the vehicle off.
