Where to Put the Restraint (Cargo Vans and Cab and Chassis Models) The child restraint must be secured properly in the passenger seat. If your vehicle has a passenger air bag, never put a rear-facing child restraint in this vehicle. Here's w,hy: Top Strap ~ A child ina rearfacing child restraint can be seriously injured if the passenger's air bag inflates. This is because the backa rear-facing of child restraint would bevery close to the inflating air bag. Do not usea rear-facing childrestraint in this vehicle. If a forward-facing childrestraint is suitablefor your child, always move the passenger seat as far back asit will go. Keep in mind that an unsecured child restraint can move around in a collision or sudden stop and injure people in the vehicle. Be sure to properly secure any child restraint in your vehicle -- even when no child is in it. If your child restraint has a top strap, it should be anchored. If you need to have an anchor installed, you can ask your GM dealer to put it in for you. If you want to install an anchor yourself, your dealer can tell you how to do it. 1-38
