5. To tighten the belt, feed the shoulder belt back into
the retractor while you push down on the child
restraint. If you are using a forward-facing child
restraint, you may find it helpful to use your knee to
push down on the child restraint as you tighten
the belt.
6. 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 and let it go back all the way. The safety
belt will move freely again and 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. A rear
seat is a safer place to secure a forward-facing child
restraint. See
Where to Put the Restraint on page 1-37.
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 1-56 and Passenger Air Bag Status Indicator
on page 3-36 for more information on this including
important safety information.
