To remove the child restraint, just unbuckle the vehicle’s
safety belt. It will be ready to work for an adult or
larger child passenger.

Securing a Child Restraint in the
Right Front Seat Position

Your vehicle has a right front passenger air bag.
Never put a rear-facing child restraint in this seat.
Here’s 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.
Always secure a rear-facing child restraint in a
rear seat.

Although a rear seat is a safer place, you can secure a
forward-facing child restraint in the right front seat.

You’ll be using the lap-shoulder belt. See Top Strap on
page 1-36 
if the child restraint has one. Be sure to
follow the instructions that came with the child restraint.
Secure the child in the child restraint when and as
the instructions say.

1. Because your vehicle has a right front passenger

air bag, always move the seat as far back as it will
go before securing a forward-facing child restraint.
See “Seats” in the Index.

2. Put the restraint on the seat.
3. Pick up the latch plate, and run the lap and shoulder

portions of the vehicle’s safety belt through or
around the restraint. The child restraint instructions
will show you how.
