Securing a Child Restraint in the
Right Front Seat Position
Your vehicle has a right front passenger’s
airbag. A rear seat is a safer place to secure a
forward-facing child restraint. See
Where to
Put the Restraint on page 51 .
In addition, if your vehicle has a passenger airbag
status indicator, your vehicle has the passenger
sensing system. The passenger sensing system is
designed to turn off the right front passenger’s
frontal airbag when an infant in a rear-facing
infant seat or a small child in a forward-facing
child restraint or booster seat is detected.
See
Passenger Airbag Status Indicator on
page 164 for more information on this including
important safety information.
If your vehicle does not have the passenger sensing
system, the right front passenger’s frontal airbag
will deploy in collisions that are severe enough to
deploy the frontal airbags, even if an infant or a
small child is in the right front passenger’s seat.
A label on your sun visor says, “Never put a
rear-facing child seat in the front.” This is because
the risk to the rear-facing child is so great, if the
airbag deploys.
{
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.
Your vehicle may have a passenger
sensing system that is designed to turn
off the passenger’s frontal airbag if the
system detects a rear-facing child
restraint. However, 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.
We recommend that rear-facing child
restraints be secured in the rear seat,
even if the airbag is off.
CAUTION: (Continued)
