Never put a rear facing child restraint in the right front passenger's seat unless the air bag is off. Here is why: {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. If you secure a forward-facing child restraint in the right front seat, always move the right front 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 1-42. If you need to secure a forward-facing child restraint in the right front seat position, move the seat as far back as it will go before securing a forward-facing child restraint. See Manual Seats on page 1-3 or Power Seats on page 1-4. In addition to the air bag off switch, your vehicle may have the passenger sensing system. The passenger sensing system is designed to turn off the right front passenger's frontal air bag when an infant or small child in a rear-facing infant seat, a forward-facing child restraint, or a booster seat is detected. In addition to the passenger sensing system, you may use the air bag off switch located on the instrument panel to turn the air bag off. See Air Bag Off Switch on page 1-76 and Passenger Sensing System on page 1-81. 1-52
