Never put a child in a rear-facing child restraint in the
right front passenger seat unless your vehicle has
the passenger sensing system or an airbag off switch
and the passenger airbag status indicator or the
airbag off light shows off. Never put a rear facing child
restraint in the right front passenger seat unless the
airbag is off. Here is why:
{
CAUTION:
A child in a rear-facing child restraint can be
seriously injured or killed if the right front
passenger’s airbag inflates. This is because
the back of the rear-facing child restraint
would be very close to the inflating airbag. Be
sure the airbag is off before using a rear-facing
child restraint in the right front seat position.
CAUTION:

CAUTION:
(Continued)
Even though the passenger sensing system
or airbag off switch are designed to turn off
the passenger’s frontal airbag under certain
conditions, no system is fail-safe, and no
one can guarantee that an airbag will not
deploy under some unusual circumstance,
even though it is turned off. General Motors
recommends that rear-facing child restraints
be transported in vehicles with a rear seat
that will accommodate a rear-facing child
restraint, whenever possible.
If you need to secure a forward-facing child
restraint in the right front seat, always move
the front passenger seat as far back as it
will go. It is better to secure the child restraint
in a rear seat.
Do not use child restraints in the center front seat
position. The restraints will not work properly.
