Securing a Child Restraint in the

(With Airbag Off Switch)
Your vehicle has a right front passenger airbag. There is
a switch on the instrument panel that you can use to turn
off the right front passenger’s frontal airbag. See the
following illustration. Your switch may vary slightly.
SeeAirbag Off Switch on page 1-70for more on this,
including important safety information and illustrations of
alternate switch designs.
{CAUTION:
A child in a rear-facing child restraint can be
seriously injured or killed if the passenger’s
airbag inates. This is because the back of the
rear-facing child restraint would be very close
to the inating airbag. Do not use a rear-facing
child restraint in this vehicle unless the
passenger’s airbag has been turned off.
