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.

Matching Transmitter@) To Your
Vehicle
Each key chain transmitter is coded to
prevent another transmitter from
unlocking your vehicle. If a transmitter
is lost or stolen, a replacement can be
purchased through your dealer.
Remember to bring the remaining
transmitters with you when you go
to
your dealer. When the dealer matches
the replacement transmitter to your
vehicle, the remaining transmitters
must also be matched. Once the new
transmitter is coded, the lost
transmitter will not unlock your vehicle.
You can match
a transmitter to as many
different vehicles as you own, provided
they are equipped with
exactly the
same model system.
(General Motors
offers several different models of these
systems on their vehicles.) Each vehicle
can have up to four transmitters
matched to it.
See your dealer to match transmitters to
another vehicle.
