If a customer contacts your dealership and comments that the passenger air bag on indicator is lit when a child restraint has been installed in the front passenger seat, remind the customer:
Accident statistics show that children are safer if they are restrained in the rear rather than the front seat.
Even in vehicles equipped with the Passenger Presence System (PPS), children are safer when properly secured in a rear seat.
Always use correct child restraint for your child's age and size. Never place a rear-facing infant restraint in the front.
If the customer needs to install a forward facing child restraint in the front seat, instruct the customer to read and follow the instructions that came with the child restraint and the vehicle's Owner Manual instructions for securing a child restraint in the right front passenger seat, including the vehicle's Owner Manual instructions for what to do if the passenger air bag on indicator is lit after the child restraint has been installed.
If a child restraint has been installed in the front passenger seat and the air bag 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 air bag 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.
