Securing a Child Restraint in the Right
Front Seat Position
U
Your vehicle has a right front passenger air bag.
Never
put a rear-facing child restraint in this seat. Here’s why:
ION:
A
child in a rearfacing 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
about the top strap if the child restraint has one.
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. Follow the instructions
for the child restraint.
3.
Secure the child in the child restraint
as
the
instructions say.
4.
Pick up the latch plate, and run the lap and shoulder
portions of the vehicle’s safety belt through or
around the restraint. The child restraint instructions
will show you how.
