Chevrolet 2007 Silverado, Owner'S Manual

If your vehicle has the passenger sensing system
or the airbag off switch and you need to secure
a rear-facing child restraint in the right front
passenger’s seat, the passenger’s frontal airbag
must be off. See Passenger Sensing System
on page 103, Airbag Off Switch on page 100, and
Securing a Child Restraint in the Right Front
Seat Position (With Airbag Off Switch) on page 75
or Securing a Child Restraint in the Right Front
Seat Position (With Passenger Sensing System)
on page 81 or Securing a Child Restraint in
the Right Front Seat Position (Heavy Duty Crew
Cab Only) on page 85 for more on this, including
important safety information.
Wherever you install a child restraint, be sure to
secure the child restraint properly.
Keep in mind that an unsecured child restraint
can move around in a collision or sudden stop
and injure people in the vehicle. Be sure to
properly secure any child restraint in your
vehicle — even when no child is in it.
Lower Anchors and Tethers for
Children (LATCH)
The LATCH system holds a child restraint during
driving or in a crash. This system is designed
to make installation of a child restraint easier.
The LATCH system uses anchors in the vehicle
and attachments on the child restraint that
are made for use with the LATCH system.
Make sure that a LATCH-compatible child restraint
is properly installed using the anchors, or use
the vehicle’s safety belts to secure the restraint,
following the instructions that came with that
restraint, and also the instructions in this manual.
When installing a child restraint with a top
tether, you must also use either the lower anchors
or the safety belts to properly secure the child
restraint. A child restraint must never be installed
using only the top tether and anchor.
