Protecting Children
Additional Safety Precaution
Do not leave a child alone in your
car. Leaving a child without adult
supervision is illegal in most states
and Canadian provinces and can
be very hazardous. For example, a
small child left in a car on a hot
day can die from heatstroke. A
child left alone with the key in the
ignition can accidentally set the
car in motion, possibly injuring
themselves or others.
General Guidelines for Using
Child Seats
As discussed on page
, because
your car does not have a back seat,
and because of the passenger's
airbag hazard, we strongly
recommend that you do not carry a
small child as a passenger in this car.
However, if you must carry a small
child in this car, the child must be
properly restrained in a child seat.
The following pages give general
guidelines for selecting and installing
additional information.
Selecting a Child Seat
To provide proper protection, a child
seat should meet three
requirements:
1. The child seat should meet safety
standards. The child seat should
meet Federal Motor Vehicle
Safety Standard 213 (FMVSS 213)
or Canadian Motor Vehicle Safety
Standard 213 (CMVSS 213). Look
for the manufacturer's statement
of compliance on the box and seat.
