Securing a Child Restraint in the
Right Front Seat Position
Your vehicle has a right front passenger air bag. A rear
seat is a safer place to secure a forward-facing child
restraint. See Where to Put the Restraint on page 1-54.
In addition, your vehicle may have the passenger
sensing system. The passenger sensing system is
designed to turn off the right front passenger’s frontal
air bag when an infant in a rear-facing infant seat
or a small child in a forward-facing child restraint or
booster seat is detected. See Passenger Sensing
System on page 1-82 and Passenger Air Bag Status
Indicator on page 3-42 for more information on this
including important safety information.
A label on your sun visor says, “Never put a rear-facing
child seat in the front.” This is because the risk to the
rear-facing child is so great, if the air bag deploys.
{CAUTION:
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.
