Push and pull the child restraint in different
directions to be sure it is secure.
To
remove the child restraint, just unbuckle the vehicle’s
safety belt. It will be ready to work for an adult or larger
child passenger.
Securing
a
Child Restraint in the Right
Front
Seat Position
Your vehicle has a right front passenger air bag.
Never
put a rear-facing child restraint in this seat. Here’s why:
A
child in a rear-facing child restraint can be
seriously injured or killed if the right front
passenger’s air bag inflates, even if your vehicle
has reduced-force frontal air bags. This
is
because the back of the 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
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.
