HONDA 2008 CR-V - Manual (Page 42)

Children who play in vehicles can
accidentally get trapped inside.
Teach your children not to play in
or around vehicles.
Even very young
children learn how to unlock
vehicle doors, turn on the ignition
switch, and open the tailgate,
which can lead to accidental injury
or death.
Leaving children without
adult supervision is illegal in most
states and Canadian provinces,
and can be very hazardous.
For example, infants and small
children left in a vehicle on a hot
day can die from heatstroke. A
child left alone with the key in the
ignition switch can accidentally set
the vehicle in motion, possibly
injuring themselves or others.
If a child wraps a loose
seat belt around their neck, they
can be seriously or fatally injured.
(See pages
and for how to
activate and deactivate the
lockable retractor.)
This can prevent
children from accidentally falling
out (see page
). 88

Lock all doors and the tailgate
when your vehicle is not in use.
Keep vehicle keys/remote
transmitters out of the reach of
children.
Do not leave children alone in a
vehicle. Make sure any unused seat belt
that a child can reach is buckled,
the lockable retractor is activated,
and the belt is f ully retracted and
locked.
Use the childproof door locks to
prevent children f rom opening the
rear doors.
