Using this feature will
prevent children from opening the
doors and accidentally falling out
(see page
).
Using
this feature will prevent children
from playing with the windows,
which could expose them to
hazards or distract the driver (see
page
).
Many parents say they prefer to put
an infant or small child in the front
passenger seat so they can watch the
child, or because the child requires
attention.
Placing a child in the front seat
exposes the child to hazards from
the passenger’s front airbag, and
paying close attention to a child
distracts the driver from the
important tasks of driving, placing
both of you at risk.
If a child requires physical attention
or frequent visual contact, we
strongly recommend that another
adult ride with the child in the back
seat. The back seat is far safer for a
child than the front.
Place the largest child in the front
seat, provided the child is large
enough to wear a seat belt
properly (see page
).
Move the vehicle seat as far to the
rear as possible (see page
).
Have the child sit upright and well
back in the seat (see page
).
Make sure the seat belt is properly
positioned and secured (see page
).
Your car has three seating positions
in the back seat where children can
be properly restrained.
If you ever have to carry more than
three children in your car:
