If you had turned the air bag off with the switch,
remember to be sure to use the air bag off switch to
turn on the right front passenger’s air bag when
you remove the child restraint from the vehicle unless
the person who will be sitting there is a member of
a passenger air bag risk group. See Air Bag Off Switch
on page 1-73.
{
CAUTION:
If the right front passenger’s air bag is turned
off for a person who isn’t in a risk group
identified by the national government, that
person won’t have the extra protection of an
air bag. In a crash, the air bag wouldn’t be able
to inflate and help protect the person sitting
there. Don’t turn off the passenger’s air bag
unless the person sitting there is in a risk
group. See

safety information.
Securing a Child Restraint in a Rear
Outside Seat Position
Extended Cab and Crew Cab
There is limited space in the rear seating of an extended
cab model. If you want to secure a child restraint in a
rear outside seating position, be sure to study the
instructions that came with your child restraint to see if
there is enough room to secure your seat properly.
If your child restraint is equipped with the LATCH
system, see Lower Anchorages and Top Tethers for
Children (LATCH System) on page 1-47. See Top Strap
on page 1-42 if the child restraint has one.
If your child restraint does not have the LATCH system,
you’ll 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. Put the restraint on the seat.
