2005 GMC Savana Van Owner's Manual - Page 63

Unless your vehicle has an airbag off switch and you have used it to turn the passenger's airbag off, never put a rear-facing child restraint in the right front passenger's seat. Here is why: CAUTION: (Continued) {CAUTION: A child in a rear-facing child restraint can be seriously injured or killed if the right front passenger's airbag inflates. This is because the back of the rear-facing child restraint would be very close to the inflating airbag. If your vehicle is a passenger van, always secure a rear-facing child restraint in a rear seat. If your vehicle is a cargo van with a right front passenger airbag and an airbag off switch, be sure to turn off the airbag before using a rear-facing child restraint in the right front seat position. If your vehicle is a cargo van with a right front passenger airbag but does not have an airbag off switch, do not use a rear-facing child restraint in this vehicle. CAUTION: (Continued) Even though the airbag off switch is designed to turn off the passenger's frontal airbag, 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. GM 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 you need to 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 1-43. 1-57
