Securing a Child Restraint in the
Right Front Seat Position

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 60

.

In addition, your vehicle has a passenger sensing
system. The passenger sensing system is
designed to turn off the right front passenger’s
frontal airbag and side impact airbag (if equipped)
when an infant in a rear-facing infant seat or a
small child in a forward-facing child restraint
or booster seat is detected. See

Passenger

Sensing System on page 86

and

Passenger Airbag

Status Indicator on page 211

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.

Even though the passenger sensing
system is designed to turn off the
passenger’s frontal airbag and
seat-mounted side impact airbag
(if equipped) under certain conditions, 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. General Motors
recommends that rear-facing child
restraints be secured in the rear seat,
even if the airbag is off.
