Securing a Child Restraint in the Right
Front Seat Position
Your vehicle has a front passenger air bag. Never put a
rear
-
facing child restraint in this seat. Here’s why:
CAUTION:
A child in a rear
-
facing child restraint can be
seriously injured or killed if the front passenger’s
air bag inflates, even though your vehicle has
Next Generation frontal air bags. This is because
the back of the rear
-
facing child restraint would
be very close to the inflating air bag. If your
vehicle is a passenger van, always secure a
rear
-
facing child restraint in a rear seat.
If your vehicle is a cargo van, do not use a
rear
-
facing child restraint in this vehicle. If a
forward
-
facing child restraint is suitable for your
child, always move the passenger seat as far back
as it will go.
