Securing a Child Restraint in the Center Front Seat Position Do not use child restraints in this position. The restraints will not work properly. Your vehicle has a right front passenger airbag. Never put a rear-facing child restraint in the right front passenger's seat. Here is why: {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. Always secure a rear-facing child restraint in a rear seat. A rear seat is a safer place to secure a forward-facing child restraint. If you need to secure a forward-facing child restraint in the right front seat position, see Where to Put the Restraint on page 1-40. Securing a Child Restraint in the Right Front Seat Position (Models without an Airbag Off Switch) Crew Cab Models and Extended Cab Models with Rear Seats If your child restraint is equipped with the LATCH system, see Lower Anchorages and Top Tethers for Children (LATCH System) on page 1-46. See Top Strap on page 1-42 if the child restraint has one. There is no top strap anchor in the right front passenger's position. Do not secure a child seat in this position if a national or local law requires that the top strap be anchored, or if the instructions that come with the child restraint say that the top strap must be anchored. See Top Strap on page 1-42 if the child restraint has one. 1-54
