Securing a Child Restraint in

the Right Front Seat Position

(With Passenger Sensing System)

Your vehicle has airbags. A rear seat is a safer place to

secure a forward-facing child restraint. See Where to

Put the Restraint on page 1-44.

In addition, your vehicle may have a passenger sensing

system which is designed to turn off the right front

passenger’s frontal airbag under certain conditions. See

Passenger Sensing System on page 1-81 and Passenger

Airbag Status Indicator on page 3-43 for more information

on this, including important safety information.

A label on your 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.

{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.

CAUTION: (Continued)

Even if the passenger sensing system has

turned off the right front passenger’s 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. Rear-facing child restraints should

be secured 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 1-81

for additional information.

If your vehicle does not have a rear seat that will

accommodate a rear-facing child restraint, we

recommend that rear-facing child restraints not be

transported in your vehicle, even if the airbag is off.
