7. If your child restraint manufacturer
recommends using a top tether, and the
position you are using has a top tether anchor,
attach and tighten the top tether to the top
tether anchor. Refer to the instructions
that came with the child restraint and toLower
Anchors and Tethers for Children (LATCH)
on page 60.
8. Push and pull the child restraint in different
directions to be sure it is secure.
9. If your vehicle has the passenger sensing
system and the airbag is off, the off indicator in
the overhead console will be lit and stay lit
when the key is turned to RUN or START.
If a child restraint has been installed and the on
indicator is lit, turn the vehicle off. Remove
the child restraint from the vehicle and reinstall the
child restraint.If, after reinstalling the child restraint and restarting
the vehicle, the on indicator is still lit, check to
make sure that the vehicle’s seatback is not
pressing the child restraint into the seat cushion.
If this happens, slightly recline the vehicle’s
seatback and adjust the seat cushion if possible.
Also make sure the child restraint is not trapped
under the vehicle head restraint. If this happens,
adjust the head restraint.
If the on indicator is still lit, secure the child in the
child restraint in a rear seat position in the
vehicle and check with your dealer.
To remove the child restraint, just unbuckle the
vehicle’s safety belt and let it go back all the way.
The safety belt will move freely again and be
ready to work for an adult or larger child
passenger.

Securing a Child Restraint in the
Right Front Seat Position (Heavy
Duty Crew Cab Only)
Your vehicle has a right front passenger airbag.
Neverput a rear-facing child restraint in the
right front passenger’s seat. Here is why:
{CAUTION:
A child in a rear-facing child restraint can
be seriously injured or killed if the right
front passenger’s airbag in ates. This is
because the back of the rear-facing child
restraint would be very close to the
in ating airbag. Always secure a
rear-facing child restraint in a rear seat.
A rear seat is a safer place to secure a
forward-facing child restraint. If you need to
secure a forward-facing child restraint in the right
front seat position, seeWhere to Put the
Restraint on page 57.If your child restraint has the LATCH system, see
Lower Anchors and Tethers for Children
(LATCH) on page 60.
There is no top tether anchor in the right front
passenger’s position. Do not secure a child seat in
this position if a national or local law requires that
the top tether be anchored, or if the instructions that
come with the child restraint say that the top tether
must be anchored. SeeLower Anchors and Tethers
for Children (LATCH) on page 60if your child
restraint has a top tether.
You will be using the lap-shoulder belt to secure
the restraint in this position. 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’s frontal airbag, always move
the seat as far back as it will go before
securing a forward-facing child restraint. See
Manual Seats on page 9orPower Seats
on page 10.
2. Put the child restraint on the seat.

6. To tighten the belt, push down on the child
restraint, pull the shoulder portion of the belt
to tighten the lap portion of the belt, and
feed the shoulder belt back into the retractor.
If you are using a forward-facing child
restraint, you may nd it helpful to use your
knee to push down on the child restraint
as you tighten the belt. You should not be able
to pull more of the belt out of the retractor
once the lock has been set.
7. Push and pull the child restraint in different
directions to be sure it is secure.To remove the child restraint, just unbuckle the
vehicle’s safety belt and let it go back all the way.
The safety belt will move freely again and be
ready to work for an adult or larger child
passenger.
