8. If your vehicle has the passenger sensing system and the air bag is off, the off indicator will be lit and stay lit in the inside rearview mirror when the key is turned to RUN or START. Never put a rear-facing child restraint in the right front passenger seat unless the air bag is off. If a child restraint has been installed and the on indicator is lit, turn the vehicle off. Remove the child restraint from the vehicle and reinstall the child restraint. If after reinstalling the child restraint and restarting the vehicle, the on indicator is still lit, check to make sure that the vehicle's seatback is not pressing the child restraint into the seat cushion. If this happens, slightly recline the vehicle's seatback and adjust the seat cushion if possible. Also make sure the child restraint is not trapped under the vehicle head restraint. If this happens, adjust the head restraint. 6. To tighten the belt, push down on the child restraint, pull the shoulder belt to tighten the lap belt portion and feed the shoulder belt back into the retractor. If you are using a forward-facing child restraint, you may find it helpful to use your knee to push down on the child restraint as you tighten the belt. You should not be able to pull more of the belt out of the retractor once the lock has been set. 7. Push and pull the child restraint in different directions to be sure it is secure. If the on indicator is still lit, use the air bag off switch to turn off the air bag or secure the child in the child restraint in a rear seat position in the vehicle if one is available and check with your dealer. See Air Bag Off Switch on page 1-75 for more on this, including important safety information. For heavy duty pickups without the passenger sensing system, use the air bag off switch to turn the air bag off or install the infant restraint in a rear seat position. 1-66
