Seats and Restraints 2-59

A label on the sun visor 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.

{

WARNING

A child in a rear-facing child

restraint can be seriously injured

or killed if the right front

passenger airbag inflates. This

is because the back of the

rear-facing child restraint would

be very close to the inflating

airbag. A child in a forward-facing

child restraint can be seriously

injured or killed if the right front

passenger airbag inflates and the

passenger seat is in a forward

position.

Even if the passenger sensing

system has turned off the right

front passenger frontal airbag, no

system is fail-safe. No one can

guarantee that an airbag will not

deploy under some unusual

circumstance, even though it is

turned off.

Secure rear-facing child restraints

in a rear seat, even if the

airbag is off. If you secure a

forward-facing child restraint in

the right front seat, always move

the front passenger seat as far

back as it will go. It is better to

secure the child restraint in a

rear seat.

See Passenger Sensing System

on page 2‑33

for additional

information.

If the vehicle does not have a

rear seat that will accommodate

a rear‐facing child restraint, a

rear‐facing child restraint should

not be installed in the vehicle, even

if the airbag is off.

If the child restraint has the LATCH

system, see Lower Anchors and

Tethers for Children (LATCH

System)

on page 2‑50

for how

and where to install the child

restraint using LATCH. If a child

restraint is secured using a safety

belt and it uses a top tether, see

Lower Anchors and Tethers for

Children (LATCH System)

on

page 2‑50

for top tether anchor

locations.

Do not secure a child seat in a

position without a top tether anchor

if a national or local law requires

that the top tether be anchored, or if

the instructions that come with the

child restraint say that the top strap

must be anchored.

In Canada, the law requires that

forward-facing child restraints have

a top tether, and that the tether be

attached.
