WARNING:
o Passengers can be injured if their
head, hands or other body parts are
trapped by a closing window. Always
check for obstructions before raising
any window.
o NEVER leave the ignition key in the
vehicle.
o NEVER leave any child unattended in
the vehicle. Even very young children
may inadvertently cause the vehicle
to move, entangle themselves in the
windows, or otherwise injure
themselves or others.
o Do not attempt to operate the main
switch on the driver's door and a
switch on another door in opposing
directions at the same time. If this is
done, the window will stop and cannot
be opened or closed.
WARNING:
o The automatic reverse feature for the
driver’s window is only active when
the “auto up” feature is used by fully
pulling up the switch. The automatic
reverse feature will not operate if the
window is raised using the halfway
position on the power window switch.
o Always check for obstructions before
raising any window to avoid injuries or
vehicle damage. If an object less than
0.16 in. (4 mm) in diameter is caught
between the window glass and the
upper window channel, the automatic
reverse window may not detect the
resistance and will not stop and
reverse direction.B060C02NF-AATAutomatic Reverse Window
(Driver's side)If the upward movement of the window is
blocked by an object or part of the body, the
window will detect the resistance and will
stop upward movement. The window will
then lower approximately 11.8 in.(30cm)
to allow the object to be cleared.
NOTE:The power windows can be operated for
30 seconds after the ignition key is
turned to the "ACC" or "LOCK"
positions, or removed from the ignition
switch.
If the front doors are opened during this
30 second period, the power windows
can no longer be operated without the
ignition key turned to the "ON" position.

WARNING:
o A child restraint system must be
placed in the rear seat. Never install a
child or infant seat on the front
passenger's seat. Should an accident
occur and cause the passenger side
airbag to deploy, it could severely
injure or kill an infant or child seated in
an infant or child seat. Thus only use
a child restraint in the rear seat of your
vehicle.
o A safety belt or child restraint system
can become very hot if it is left in a
closed vehicle on a sunny day, even if
the outside temperature does not feel
hot. Be sure to check the seat cover
and buckles before placing a child
there.
o When the child restraint system is not
in use, store it in the trunk or fasten it
with a safety belt so that it will not be
thrown forward in the case of a sudden
stop or an accident.
o Children may be seriously injured or
killed by an inflating airbag. All
children, even those too large for child
restraints, must ride in the rear seat.
!
WARNING:
To reduce the chance or serious or fatal
injuries:
o Children of all ages are safer when re-
strained in the rear seat. A child riding in
the front passenger seat can be force-
fully struck by an inflating airbag result-
ing in serious or fatal injuries.
o Always follow the instructions for instal-
lation and use of the child restraint maker.
o Always make sure the child seat is se-
cured properly in the car and your child
is securely restrained in the child seat.
o Never hold a child in your arms or lap
when riding in a vehicle. The violent
forces created during a crash will tear
the child from your arms and throw the
child against the car’s interior.
o Never put a seat belt over yourself and
a child. During a crash, the belt could
press deep into the child causing seri-
ous internal injuries.
o Never leave children unattended in a
vehicle – not even for a short time. The
car can heat up very quickly, resulting in
serious injuries to children inside. Even
very young children may inadvertently
cause the vehicle to move, entangle
themselves in the windows, or lock them-
selves or others inside the vehicle.o Never allow two children, or any two
persons, to use the same seat belt.
o Children often squirm and reposition
themselves improperly. Never let a
child ride with the shoulder belt under
their arm or behind their back. Always
properly position and secure children
in rear seat.
o Never allow a child to stand-up or
kneel on the seat or floor of a moving
vehicle. During a collision or sudden
stop, the child can be violently thrown
against the vehicle's interior, resulting
in serious injury.
o Never use an infant carrier or a child
safety seat that "hooks" over a
seatback, it may not provide adequate
security in an accident.
o Seat belts can become very hot, es-
pecially when the car is parked in
direct sunlight. Always check seat
belt buckles before fastening them
over a child.
o Always store or secure a child seat,
even when it is not in use. During a
collision or sudden stop, the child seat
could be thrown inside the vehicle.
