Even bndugh the AIR L-G OFF switch is designed to turn off the passenger's frontal air bag, no system is fail-safe, and no one can guarantee that an air bag will not deploy under some unusual circumstance, even thoughit is turned off. General Motors therefore recommends that rear-facing child restraints be transported in vehicles with a rear seat that will accommodate a rear-facing child restraint, whenever possible. If a forward-facing child restraintis suitable for your child, always move the passenger seat as far back as it will go. If the a ~ bag readiness light ever comes on r when you have turned off the air bag, it means that something may be wrong with the air bag system. The right front passenger's air bag could inflate even though the switch is off. If this ever happens, don't let anyone whom the national government has identified as a member of a passenger air bag risk group sit in the right front passenger's position (for example, don't secure a rear-facing child restraint in your vehicle) until you have your vehicle serviced. See "Air Bag Off Switch" in the Index. Although a rear seat is a safer place, you can secure a forward-facing child restraint in the right front seat of a crew cab. 1-51
