Securing a Child Restraint in the
Center Front Seat Position
{CAUTION:
A child in a child restraint in the center
front seat can be badly injured or killed by
the right front passenger’s airbag if it
inflates. Never secure a child restraint in
the center front seat. It is always better to
secure a child restraint in the rear seat.
Do not use child restraints in this position. The
restraints will not work properly.
Securing a Child Restraint in the
Right Front Seat Position
Your vehicle has a right front passenger airbag. A
rear seat is a safer place to secure a
forward-facing child restraint. See Where to Put
the Restraint on page 72.
In addition, your vehicle has a passenger sensing
system. The passenger sensing system is
designed to turn off the right front passenger’s
frontal airbag 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 101 and
Passenger Airbag Status Indicator on page 246 for
more information on this including important
safety information.
