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

).

Even very young

children learn how to unlock
vehicle doors, turn on the ignition,
and open the trunk, 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. And
children left alone with the key in
the ignition can accidentally set
the vehicle in motion, possibly
injuring themselves or others.

Children

who play in cars can accidentally
get trapped inside the trunk.
Teach your children not to play in
or around cars. Know how to
operate the emergency trunk
opener (see page

) and decide if

your children should be shown
how to use this feature.
