Securing a Child Restraint Designed for the LATCH System (Models with an Air Bag Off Switch) Regular Cab Models and Extended Cab Models without Rear Seats Your vehicle has air bags. Regular cab models and extended cab models without rear seats have an air bag off switch on the instrument panel you can use to turn off the right front passenger's frontal air bag. See Air Bag Off Switch on page 1-71 for more on this including important safety information. Unless the right front passenger's frontal air bag has been turned off, never put a rear-facing child restraint in this vehicle. Here is why: {CAUTION: A child in a rear-facing child restraint can be seriously injured or killed if the right front passenger's frontal air bag inflates. This is because the back of the rear-facing child restraint would be very close to the inflating air bag. Do not use a rear-facing child restraint in this vehicle unless the air bag has been turned off. CAUTION: (Continued) 1-48
