in serious neck injuries during a
crash. Devices intended to
improve a child’s comf ort or
reposition the shoulder part of a

under the belt in a crash and be
injured.
If they do, they
could be very seriously injured in a
crash.

collect rapidly in enclosed areas,
such as a garage. Do not run the
engine with the garage door closed.
Even with the door open, run the
engine only long enough to move the

pull exhaust gas into your vehicle’s
interior and create a hazardous
condition. If you must drive with the
trunk lid open, open all the windows

system/climate control system as
shown below.

even in an unconf ined area, with the
