very close to the inflating air bag. Be sure to turn
off the air bag before using a rear
-
facing child
restraint in the right front seat position. If a
forward
-
facing child restraint is suitable for your
child, always move the passenger seat as far back
as it will go.
Although a rear seat is a safer place, you can secure a
forward
-
facing child restraint in the right front seat.
CAUTION:
If the air bag readiness light ever comes on when
you have turned off the air bag, it means that
something may be wrong with the air bag system.
The right front passenger’s air bag could inflate
even though the switch is off.

CAUTION: (Continued)
If this ever happens, don’t let anyone whom the
national government has identified as a member
of a passenger air bag risk group sit in the right
front passenger’s position (for example, don’t
secure a rear
-
facing child restraint in the right
front passenger’s seat) until you have your
vehicle serviced. See “Air Bag Off Switch” in
the Index.
You’ll be using the lap
-
shoulder belt. See the earlier part
about the top strap if the child restraint has one. 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 air bag. If
you are using a rear
-
facing child restraint in this seat,
make sure the air bag is turned off. See “Air Bag Off
Switch” in the Index. If your child restraint is
forward
-
facing, always move the seat as far back as
it will go before securing it in this seat. See “Seats”
in the Index.
2. Put the restraint on the seat.
