CAUTION: (Continued)
Even though the airbag off switch is
designed to turn off the passenger’s
frontal airbag, 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.
We recommend that rear-facing child
restraints be transported in vehicles
with a rear seat that will accommodate
a rear-facing child restraint, whenever
possible.
If you need to secure a forward-facing child
restraint in the right front static seat or the
right front bench seat, always move the
passenger seat as far back as it will go.
Keep in mind that an unsecured child restraint
can move around in a collision or sudden stop
and injure people in the vehicle — even when
no child is in it.
Where to Put the Restraint
(Crew Cab Models)
Accident statistics show that children are safer if
they are restrained in the rear rather than the front
seat. We recommend that child restraints be
secured in a rear seat position, including an infant
riding in a rear-facing infant seat, a child riding
in a forward-facing child seat and an older
child riding in a booster seat.
If your vehicle has airbags and you need to
secure a child restraint in the right front
passenger’s seat, there is a switch on the
instrument panel that you can use to turn off the
passenger’s airbag. SeeAirbag Off Switch on
page 76andSecuring a Child Restraint in
the Right Front Seat Position on page 63for more
on this, including important safety information.
