3-28RESTRAINT OF LARGE
CHILDRENAs children grow, they may need to use
new child-restraint systems, including
larger child seats or booster seats, which
are appropriate for their increased size.
A child who has outgrown available
child-restraint systems should use the
belts provided in the vehicle. When seated
in the rear outboard seats, the child should
be restrained by the lap/shoulder belt.
If the shoulder belt portion slightly
touches the child’s neck or face, try
placing the child closer to the center of the
vehicle. If the shoulder belt still touches
their face or neck they may need to bereturned to a child restraint system.
In addition, after-market devices are
available from independent manufacturers
which help pull the shoulder belt down
and away from the child’s face or neck.
CAUTION - Hot Metal
Parts
Safety belts and seats can become
hot in a vehicle that has been closed
during warm/hot weather; they
could burn a child. Check seat
covers and buckles before you
place a child anywhere near them.
WARNING - Shoulder
Belts ON Small Children
Never allow a shoulder belt to
be in contact with a child’s
neck or face while the vehicle
is in motion.
If safety belts are not properly
worn and adjusted, the risk of
death or serious injury to
such a child is high.
WARNING - Child
Restraints
All child restraint systems are
designed to be secured in
vehicle seats by lap belts or
the lap-belt portion of a lap/
should-er belt.
Children will be endangered
in a crash if their child
restraint systems are not
properly secur-ed by the
safety belts in the vehicle.
According to accident
statistics, children are safer
when proper-ly restrained in
the rear seatin positions
rather than the front seating
positions.
When a child restraint system
is not secured by a safety
belt, store it in the trunk so
that it will not be thrown
forward in the event of a
sudden stop or accident.

TRUNK LID• To open the trunk, insert the key into
the lock and turn it clockwise until an
audible “click” is heard.
• To close the trunk, use both hands to
push the trunk lid down until the lock
“snaps” shut.• Do not slam the trunk lid.
• Pull up on the trunk lid to make sure
it is securely latched.
To prevent premature wear or damage
to the trunk lid lift cylinders and
attaching hardware, the trunk lid must
be fully closed before you drive your
vehicle.
If you must drive with the trunk lid open,
keep the air vents open so that additional
outside air comes into the vehicle.

WARNING
No one should be allowed to
occupy the trunk of the vehicle
at any time. If the trunk is
partially or totally closed and
the person is unable to get out,
severe injury or death could
occur due to lack of ventilation,
fumes and rapid heat build-up,
or because of exposure due to
cold weather conditions. The
trunk is also a highly
dangerous location in the event
of a crash because it is not a
protected occupant space. In
fact, it is part of the vehicle’s
crush zone.
