Securing a Child Restraint Designed for the LATCH System (Front) Your vehicle has a right front passenger air bag. There is a switch on the instrument panel that you can use to turn off the right front passenger's frontal air bag. See the following illustration. Your switch may vary slightly. See Air Bag Off Switch on page 1-76 for more on this, including important safety information and illustrations of alternate switch designs. CAUTION: (Continued) Even though the passenger sensing system and/or air bag off switch are designed to turn off the passenger's frontal air bag under certain conditions, 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. General Motors recommends that rear-facing child restraints be transported in vehicles with a rear seat that will accommodate a rear-facing child restraint, whenever possible. {CAUTION: A child in a rear-facing child restraint can be seriously injured or killed if the right front passenger's air bag inflates. This is because the back of the rear facing child restraint would be very close to the inflating air bag. Be sure the air bag is off before using a rear-facing child restraint in the right front seat position. CAUTION: (Continued) 1-51
