CAUTION: (Continued) {CAUTION: If the air bag readiness light ever comes on 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. 1. If your vehicle has a passenger air bag and an air bag off switch, and you are using a rear-facing child restraint in this seat, make sure the air bag is turned off. See Air Bag Off Switch on page 1-75. If your child restraint is forward-facing, always move the seat as far back as it will go before securing it in this seat. See Power Seat on page 1-4 or Manual Seats on page 1-3. rear-facing child restraint in the right front seat position. If your vehicle is a cargo van with a right front passenger air bag but does not have an air bag off switch, do not use a rear-facing child restraint in this vehicle. Even though the air bag 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 though it is turned off. GM recommends that rear-facing child restraints be transported in vehicles with a rear seat that will accommodate a rear-facng child restraint whenever possible. If you secure a forward-facing child restraint in the right front passenger position, always move the passenger seat as far back as it will go. A rear seat is a safer place to secure a forward-facing child restraint. See Where to Put the Restraint on page 1-45. 1-55
