If you need to secure a forward-facing child retraint
in the right front seat position, move the seat as far back
as it will go before securing the forward-facing child
restraint. See Power Seats on page 1-2 or Manual Seats
on page 1-2.
If your child restraint is equipped with the LATCH
system, see Lower Anchorages and Top Tethers for
Children (LATCH System) on page 1-37.
There is no top strap anchor at the right front seating
position. Do not secure a child seat in this position
if a national or local law requires that the top strap be
anchored or if the instructions that come with the
child restraint say that the top strap must be anchored.
See Top Strap on page 1-34 if your child restraint
has one.
You will be using the lap-shoulder belt to secure the
child restraint in this position. 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. Your vehicle has a right front passenger’s frontal
airbag. See Passenger Sensing System on
page 1-56. General Motors recommends that
rear-facing child restraints be secured in a rear seat,
even if the airbag is off. If your child restraint is
forward-facing, move the seat as far back as it will
go before securing the child restraint in this
seat. See Power Seats on page 1-2 or Manual
Seats on page 1-2.
When the passenger sensing system has turned off
the right front passenger’s frontal airbag, the off
indicator in the passenger airbag status indicator
should light and stay lit when you turn the ignition to
RUN or START. See Passenger Airbag Status
Indicator on page 3-35.
2. Put the child restraint on the seat.
