a rear-facing infant seat or a small child in a
forward-facing child restraint or booster seat is
detected. SeeSecuring a Child Restraint in
the Right Front Seat Position on page 71and
Passenger Sensing System on page 86for
important safety information and additional

frontal airbag. SeePassenger Sensing System
on page 86. We recommend that rear-facing
child restraints be secured in a rear seat, even
if the airbag is off. If your child restraint is
forward-facing, move the seat as far back as it
will go before securing the child restraint in this
seat. SeeManual Seats on page 9orPower
Seats on page 10.

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 if one is available and check with
your dealer.To remove the child restraint, if the top tether is
attached, disconnect it. 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.
When the safety belt is not in use, slide the latch
plate up the safety belt webbing. The latch
plate should rest on the stitching on the safety
belt, near the upper anchor on the side wall.
