7. Push  and pull the  child  restraint  in  different  directions to be sure it is 
secure. 
To remove  the  child  restraint,  unbuckle  the  vehicle’s  safety  bel\
t  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.

Children  who  have  outgrown  child  restraints  should  wear  the  vehicle’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.  Accident  statistics  show  that  children  are safer 
if they  are 
restrained  in  the  rear  seat.  But  they  need to use  the  safety  belts-properly.

Features & Contmls 
You can  release  the check  strap if you  need  to open  either  door  farther.  First

the 
door. Then  hold the  strap  at  the  white  mark  and  pull  the  strap  away  from 
the  door  pin.  You can  then  swing  the  door  open  all the  way.

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-so  don’t do it.  When 
you  park 
your vehicle  and  open  the  driver‘s  door,  you’ll  hear  a  tone  r\
eminding 
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  something  valuable  in your 
vehicle? 
Put  your  valuables  in a  storage  area, like  your  glove  box or console, if 
you  have  one. 
Lock  the  console 
Lock  all  doors  except  the  driver’s 
Then  take  the  key  with  you.
