Securing a Child Restraint in a
Rear Outside Position (CONK:)
See if the shoulder belt would go in
front of the child's face or neck. If
so, put it behind the child restraint.
4. Buckle the belt. Make sure the
release button faces upward or
outward,
so you'll be able to un-
buckle it quickly if you ever need to.
5. To tighten the belt, pull up on the
shoulder belt while you push down
on the child restraint.
6. Push and pull the child restraint in
different directions to be sure it is
secure.
To remove the child restraint, just
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
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.
Children who aren't buckled up can be
thrown out
in a crash.
Children who aren't buckled up can
strike other people who are.

the same belt. The belt can't
properly spread the impact forces.
In a crash, the two children can be
crushed together and seriously injured. A belt must be used by
only one person at
a time. I

Sahty Belt Extender
If the vehicle’s safety belt will fasten
around you, you should use it.
The automatic lap-shoulder belt has
plenty of extra length built in,
so it will
fasten around almost all people.
But if a safety belt isn’t long enough to
ksten, your dealer will order you an
extender. It’s free. When you go in to
order it, take the heaviest coat you will
wear,
so the extender will be long
enough for
you. The extender will be
just for you, and just for the seat
in your
vehicle that you choose. Don’t let
someone else use it, and use it only for
the seat it is made to fit. To wear it, just
attach it to the regular safety belt.
Checking Your Restraint Systems
Now and then, make sure all your belts,
buckles, latch plates, retractors, anchorages and reminder systems are
working properly.
Look for any loose
parts or damage. If you
see anything that
might keep a restraint system
from
doing its job, have it repaired.
Replacing Satiety Belts After a
Crash
If you’ve had a crash, do you need new
belts?
After a very minor collision, nothing may be necessary.
But if the belts were
stretched, as they would be if worn
during a more severe crash, then you
need new belts.
If belts are cut or damaged, replace
them. Collision damage
also may mean
you will have to have safety belt parts, like the retractor, replaced or anchorage
locations repaired-even if the belt
wasn’t being used at
the time of the
collision.

Ventilation Tips
Keep the hood and front air inlet free
of ice, snow, or any other obstruction
(such as leaves). The heater and
defroster will work far better, reducing the chance of fogging the inside of
your windows.
When you enter a vehicle in cold
weather,
turn the fan control knob to
HIGH 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.

circulate throughout your vehicle.
