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, 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. Never put a child in rear-facing child
restraint in the right front passenger seat unless your
vehicle has the passenger sensing system and the
passenger air bag status indicator shows off. Never put
a rear-facing child restraint in the right front passenger
seat unless the air bag is off.
{
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 the air bag is off before using a
rear-facing child restraint in the right front seat
position.
CAUTION: (Continued)
CAUTION: (Continued)
Even though the passenger sensing system is
designed to turn off the passenger’s frontal air
bag if the system detects a rear-facing child
restraint, no system is fail-safe, and no one
can guarantee that an air bag will not deploy
under some unusual circumstance, even
though it is turned off. General Motors,
therefore, recommends that rear-facing child
restraints be secured in the rear seat whenever
possible, even if the air bag is off.
The passenger sensing system is designed to turn off
the right front passenger’s frontal air bag if:
•
the right front passenger seat is unoccupied
•
the system determines that an infant is present in a
rear-facing infant seat
•
the system determines that a small child is present
in a forward-facing child restraint
•
the system determines that a small child is present
in a booster seat
•
a right front passenger takes his/her weight off of
the seat for a period of time
