CAUTION:
A child in a rear
-
facing child restraint can be
seriously injured or killed if the right front
passenger’s air bag inflates. This is because the
back of the rear
-
facing child restraint would be
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.
Keep in mind that an unsecured child restraint can move
around in a collision or sudden stop and injure people in
the vehicle
--
even when no child is in it.
Where to Put the Restraint
(Crew Cab Models)
Accident statistics show that children are safer if they
are restrained in the rear rather than the front seat.
General Motors, therefore, recommends that child
restraints be secured in a rear seat position, including an
infant riding in a rear
-
facing infant seat, a child riding in
a forward
-
facing child seat and an older child riding in a
booster seat.
If your vehicle has air bags and you want to secure a
rear
-
facing child restraint in the right front passenger’s
seat, turn off the passenger’s air bag. See “Air Bag Off
Switch” and “Securing a Child Restraint in the Right
Front Seat Position” in the Index for more on this,
including important safety information.

You may secure a forward

facing child restraint
in the right front static seat or right front bench
seat, but before you do, always move the front
passenger seat as far back as it will go. It’s better
to secure the child restraint in the rear seat.
