If you're using a bucket seat, adjust the seat forward until the \
lap portion of
the safety belt holds the restraint firmly. But, don't move it any more than
needed to tighten the lap belt.
To remove the child restraint, unbuckle the vehicle's safety belt \
and let it go
back all the way. The safety belt
will move freely again and be ready to work
for an adult or larger child passenger.
Larger Children
I/
AN170071
Children who have outgrown child restraints should wear the veh\
icle's safety
belts.
If you have the choice, a child should sit next to a window so \
the child
can wear a lap-shoulder belt and get the additional restraint \
a shoulder belt
can provide.
Children who aren't buckled up can be thrown out in a crash. \

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Theft
Vehicle theft is a big business, especially in some cities. Although your
vehicle has a number of theft deterrent features, we know that nothing we
put on
it can make it impossible to steal. However, there are ways you can
help.
Key in the Ignition:
If you walk away from your vehicle with the keys inside,
it’s an easy target for joy riders or professional thieves-s\
o don’t
do it. when^
you park your vehicle and open the driver’s door, you’ll \
hear a tone reminding
you to remove your key from the ignition and take it with you. Always
do
this. Your steering wheel will be locked, and so will your ignition. If you have
an automatic transmission, taking your key out also locks your \
transmission.
And remember to lock the doors.
Parking at Night: Park in a lighted spot, close all windows and lock your
vehicle. Remember to keep your valuables out of sight. Put them in a storage
area, or take them with you.
Parking Lots:
If you park in a lot where someone will be watching your
vehicle, it’s best to lock it up and take your keys. But what
if you have to
leave your ignition key? What
if you have to leave somethina valuable in vour
vehicle?
Put your valuables in a storage area, like your glove DOX.
Lock the glove box.
Lock all doors except the driver’s.
Then take the door key with you.

Engine exhaust can .kill. It contains the gas carbon monoxide (CO),
which you can’t see or smell. it can muse unconsciousness and
death.

Running Your Engine While You’re Parked
(Automatic Transmission)
It’s better not to park with the engine running. But if you ever have to, here
are some things to know.
I Ch1
Idling the engine with the air system control off could allow
dangerous exhaust into your vehicle. (See the earlier Caution \
under “Engine Exhaust.”)
Also, idling in a closed-in place can let deadly carbon monoxide (CO)
into your vehicle even
if the fan switch is at the highest setting. One
place this can happen is a garage. Exhaust-with CO-can come in
easily.
NEVER park in a garage with the engine running.
Another closed-in place can be a blizzard. (See “Blizzard”\
in the Index.)

Flow-Through Ventilatr'on System
I
KO502
Your vehicle's flow-through ventilation system supplies outside air to\
the inside
of your vehicle when it
is moving. With the side windows closed, air will flow
into the front air inlet grilles, through the vehicle, and out\
the rear air exhaust
valves. Outside air will also enter the vehicle when the heate\
r or the air
conditioning fan is running.
Ventilation Tips
e
e Keep the hood and front air inlet free of ice, snow, or any other
obstruction (such as leaves). The heater and defroster will w\
ork far better, reducing the chance of fogging the inside of your wind\
ows.
When you enter a vehicle in cold weather, turn the blower fan
to HI for
a few moments before driving off. This helps clear the intake ducts of
snow and moisture, and reduces the chance of fogging the inside of
your windows.
Keep the air path under the front seats clear of objects. This helps air
to circulate throughout your vehicle.
