Seats and Restraints
{
Warning
A child in a rear-facing child
restraint can be seriously injured
or killed if the front outboard
passenger frontal airbag inflates.
This is because the back of the
rear-facing child restraint would
be very close to the inflating
airbag. A child in a forward-facing
child restraint can be seriously
injured or killed if the front
outboard passenger frontal airbag
inflates and the passenger seat is
in a forward position.
Even if the passenger sensing
system has turned off the front
outboard passenger airbag(s), no
system is fail-safe. No one can
guarantee that an airbag will not
inflate under some unusual
circumstance, even though the
airbag(s) are off.
(Continued)
Warning (Continued)
Secure rear-facing child restraints
in a rear seat, even if the
airbag(s) are off. If you secure a
forward-facing child restraint in
the front outboard passenger
seat, always move the seat as far
back as it will go. It is better to
secure the child restraint in a
rear seat.
See
Passenger Sensing System
on page 3-25
for additional
information.
If the child restraint uses a top
tether, see
Lower Anchors and
Tethers for Children (LATCH
System) on page 3-40
for top tether
anchor locations.
Do not secure a child seat in a
position without a top tether anchor
if a national or local law requires
that the top tether be anchored, or if
the instructions that come with the
child restraint say that the top strap
must be anchored.
In Canada, the law requires that
forward-facing child restraints have
a top tether, and that the tether be
attached.
When using the lap-shoulder belt to
secure the child restraint in this
position, follow the instructions that
came with the child restraint and the
following instructions:
1. Move the seat rearward as far
back as it will go and raise the
seat upward as far up as it will
go, before securing the
forward-facing child restraint.
See
Power Seat Adjustment on
page 3-4
. Make sure the
seatback is in the upright
position. See
Reclining
Seatbacks on page 3-5
.
When the passenger sensing
system has turned off the front
outboard passenger frontal
airbag and knee airbag, the off
