Buick Encore GX Owner Manual (GMNA-Localizing-U.S./Canada/Mexico-

Seats and Restraints

67

When securing an add-on child restraint,
refer to the following:

1. Instruction labels provided on the child

restraint

2. Instruction manual provided with the

child restraint

3. This vehicle owner's manual

The child restraint instructions are
important, so if they are not available,
obtain a replacement copy from the
manufacturer.

Keep in mind that an unsecured child
restraint can move around in a collision or
sudden stop and injure people in the vehicle.
Be sure to properly secure any child
restraint in the vehicle

even when no

child is in it.

In some areas Certified Child Passenger
Safety Technicians (CPSTs) are available to
inspect and demonstrate how to correctly
use and install child restraints. In the U.S.,
refer to the National Highway Traffic Safety
Administration (NHTSA) website to locate
the nearest child safety seat inspection
station. For CPST availability in Canada,
check with Transport Canada or the
Provincial Ministry of Transportation office.

Securing the Child Within the Child
Restraint

{

Warning

A child can be seriously injured or killed
in a crash if the child is not properly
secured in the child restraint. Secure the
child properly following the instructions
that came with that child restraint.

Where to Put the Restraint

According to accident statistics, children and
infants are safer when properly restrained in
an appropriate child restraint secured in a
rear seating position.

Whenever possible, children aged 12 and
under should be secured in a rear seating
position.

Never put a rear-facing child restraint 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 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 front passenger airbag inflates and
the passenger seat is in a forward
position.

Even if the passenger sensing system has
turned off the 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 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.
