Safety Precautions When Driving
6■Child Safety
WARNING
Never hold a child on your lap or
in your arms while the vehicle is
moving. The passenger cannot
protect the child from injury in a
collision, because the child will
be caught between the passenger
and objects inside the vehicle. While riding in th e vehicle, infants
and small children should always
be seated in the REAR seat in an
infant or child restraint system
which is appropriate for the
child’s age, height and weight. If a
child is too big for a child
restraint system, the child should
sit in the REAR seat and be
restrained using the seatbelts.
According to accident statistics,
children are safer when properly
restrained in the rear seating
positions than in the front seating
positions. Never allow a child to
stand up or kneel on the seat.
 Place children in the REAR seat
properly restrained at all times in
a child restraint system or in a
seatbelt. The SRS airbag deploys
with considerable speed and
force and can injure or even kill
children, especially if they are not
restrained or improperly
restrained. Because children are
lighter and weaker than adults,
their risk of being injured from
deployment is greater. NEVER INSTALL A CHILD
RESTRAINT SYSTEM IN THE
FRONT PASSENGER'S SEAT.
DOING SO RISKS SERIOUS
INJURY OR DEATH TO THE
CHILD BY PLACING THE CHILD’S
HEAD TOO CLOSE TO THE SRS
AIRBAG. Always lock the passengers’
windows using the lock switch
when children are riding in the
vehicle. Failure to follow this
procedure could result in injury
to a child operating the power
window. Refer to "Windows"
 P116.
 Never leave unattended children,
adults or animals in the vehicle.
They could accidentally injure
themselves or others through
inadvertent operation of the
vehicle. Also, on hot or sunny
days, temperature in a closed
vehicle could quickly become
high enough to cause severe or
possibly fatal injuries to them. Help prevent children, adults or
animals from locking themselves
in the trunk. On hot or sunny
days, the temperature in the trunk
could quickly become high
enough to cause death or serious
heat-related injuries including
brain damage to anyone locked
inside, particularly for small chil-
dren. When leaving the vehicle, close
all windows and lock all doors.
Also make certain that the trunk
is closed.
