Question 5495
What precaution must you take if you install a rear-facing restraint device?
- Deactivate the front airbag, either automatically or manually.
- Ensure that the restraint device is out of the airbag's reach.
- The device cannot be installed if the vehicle is equipped with a front airbag.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: Deactivate the front airbag, either automatically or manually.
If a rear-facing child seat is installed in a front seat with a front airbag, that airbag must be deactivated, either manually or automatically, depending on the car. In the image, the dashboard indicator reads "AIRBAG OFF." Moving the child seat farther from the airbag is not enough, and there is no need to give up using the child seat if the airbag can be deactivated.
