Your vehicle may have a label on your sun visor that says, "Never put a rear-facing child seat in the front." This is because the risk to the rear-facing child is so great if the airbag deploys. Never put a child in a rear-facing child restraint in the passenger's seat the unless passenger airbag status indicator shows off. Never put a rear facing child restraint in the passenger's seat unless the airbags are off. Here is why: If the word ON or the on symbol is lit on the passenger airbag status indicator, it means that the passenger's frontal airbag and side impact airbag (if equipped) are enabled (may inflate). {CAUTION: If the on indicator comes on when you have a rear-facing child restraint installed in the passenger's seat, it means that the passenger sensing system has not turned off the passenger's frontal airbag and side impact airbag (if equipped). A child in a rear-facing child restraint can be seriously injured or killed if the passenger's airbag inflates. This is because the back of the rear-facing child restraint would be very close to the inflating airbag. Do not use a rear-facing child restraint in the passenger's seat if the airbag is turned on. If the word OFF or the off symbol is lit on the passenger airbag status indicator, it means that the passenger sensing system has turned off the passenger's airbags. See Passenger Sensing System on page 1-48 for more on this, including important safety information. {CAUTION: Even though the passenger sensing system is designed to turn off the passenger's frontal airbag and side impact airbag (if equipped) if the system detects a rear-facing child restraint, no system is fail-safe, and no one can guarantee that an airbag will not deploy under some unusual circumstance, even though it is turned off. We recommend that rear-facing child restraints be transported in vehicles with a rear seat that will accommodate a rear-facing child restraint, whenever possible. 3-36
