Seats and Restraints 3-41

Where to Put the

Restraint

According to accident statistics,

children and infants are safer when

properly restrained in a child

restraint system or infant restraint

system secured in a rear seating

position.

We recommend that children and

child restraints be secured in a rear

seat, including: an infant or a child

riding in a rear-facing child restraint;

a child riding in a forward-facing

child seat; an older child riding in a

booster seat; and children, who are

large enough, using safety belts.

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.

{

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.

(Continued)

WARNING (Continued)

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 3‑27 for additional

information.

When securing a child restraint in a

rear seating position, study the

instructions that came with your

child restraint to make sure it is

compatible with this vehicle.

Child restraints and booster seats

vary considerably in size, and some

may fit in certain seating positions

better than others. Always make

sure the child restraint is properly

secured.
