Be sure to follow the instructions for the restraint. You may find these
instructions on the restraint itself or
in a booklet, or both. These restraints
use the belt system
in your vehicle, but the child also has to be secured
within the restraint to help reduce the chance of personal injury. The
instructions that come with the infant or child restraint will \
show you how
to do that.
The child restraint must be secured properly in the center (except
60/40
bench seat) or right front passenger seat. If you have a 60/40 split bench
seat, you must use the right front passenger seat.
Keep in mind that an unsecured child restraint can move around\
in a
collision or sudden stop and injure people in the vehicle. Be sure to properly
secure any child restraint in your vehicle
- even when nQ. child is in it.
Top Strap
If your child restraint
has
a top strap, it
should be anchored.
If you need to have an anchor installed, you can ask your vehicl\
e dealer to
put it in for you.
If you want to install an anchor yourself, your dealer can
tell you how to do it.

Vehicle theft is big business, especially in some cities. Altho\
ugh 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 chime
reminding you to remove your key from the ignition and take i\
t 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.
