WARNING:
o Passengers can be injured if their head,
hands or other body parts are trapped by
a closing window. Always check for
obstructions before raising any window.
o NEVER leave the ignition key in the ve-
hicle.
o NEVER leave any child unattended in the
vehicle. Even very young children may
inadvertently cause the vehicle to move,
entangle themselves in the windows, or
otherwise injure themselves or others.
o Do not attempt to operate the main switch
on the driver's door and a switch on
another door in opposing directions at
the same time. If this is done, the window
will stop and cannot be opened or closed.
WARNING:
o The automatic reverse feature for the
driver’s window is only active when the
“auto up” feature is used by fully pulling
up the switch. The automatic reverse
feature will not operate if the window is
raised using the halfway position on the
power window switch.
o Always check for obstructions before
raising any window to avoid injuries or
vehicle damage. If an object less than
0.16 in. (4 mm) in diameter is caught
between the window glass and the up-
per window channel, the automatic re-
verse window may not detect the resis-
tance and will not stop and reverse direc-
tion.B060C02NF-AATAutomatic Reverse Window
(Driver's side)If the upward movement of the window is blocked
by an object or part of the body, the window will
detect the resistance and will stop upward
movement. The window will then lower approxi-
mately 11.8 in.(30cm) to allow the object to be
cleared.
NOTE:The power windows can be operated for 30
seconds after the ignition key is turned to
the "ACC" or "LOCK" positions, or removed
from the ignition switch.
If the front doors are opened during this 30
second period, the power windows can no
longer be operated without the ignition key
turned to the "ON" position.

WARNING:
o A child restraint system must be placed
in the rear seat. Never install a child or
infant seat on the front passenger's seat.
Should an accident occur and cause the
passenger side airbag to deploy, it could
severely injure or kill an infant or child
seated in an infant or child seat. Thus
only use a child restraint in the rear seat
of your vehicle.
o A safety belt or child restraint system
can become very hot if it is left in a closed
vehicle on a sunny day, even if the out-
side temperature does not feel hot. Be
sure to check the seat cover and buckles
before placing a child there.
o When the child restraint system is not in
use, store it in the trunk or fasten it with
a safety belt so that it will not be thrown
forward in the case of a sudden stop or
an accident.
o Children may be seriously injured or
killed by an inflating airbag. All children,
even those too large for child restraints,
must ride in the rear seat.
!
WARNING:
To reduce the chance or serious or fatal
injuries:
o Children of all ages are safer when re-
strained in the rear seat. A child riding in
the front passenger seat can be force-
fully struck by an inflating airbag result-
ing in serious or fatal injuries.
o Always follow the instructions for in-
stallation and use of the child restraint
maker.
o Always make sure the child seat is se-
cured properly in the car and your child
is securely restrained in the child seat.
o Never hold a child in your arms or lap
when riding in a vehicle. The violent
forces created during a crash will tear the
child from your arms and throw the child
against the car’s interior.
o Never put a seat belt over yourself and a
child. During a crash, the belt could
press deep into the child causing seri-
ous internal injuries.
o Never leave children unattended in a
vehicle – not even for a short time. The
car can heat up very quickly, resulting in
serious injuries to children inside. Even
very young children may inadvertently
cause the vehicle to move, entangle them-
selves in the windows, or lock them-
selves or others inside the vehicle.o Never allow two children, or any two
persons, to use the same seat belt.
o Children often squirm and reposition
themselves improperly. Never let a child
ride with the shoulder belt under their
arm or behind their back. Always prop-
erly position and secure children in rear
seat.
o Never allow a child to stand-up or kneel
on the seat or floorboard of a moving
vehicle. During a collision or sudden
stop, the child can be violently thrown
against the vehicles interior, resulting in
serious injury.
o Never use an infant carrier or a child
safety seat that "hooks" over a seatback,
it may not provide adequate security in
an accident.
o Seat belts can become very hot, espe-
cially when the car is parked in direct
sunlight. Always check seat belt buck-
les before fastening them over a child.
o Always store or secure a child seat, even
when it is not in use. During a collision
or sudden stop, the child seat could be
thrown inside the vehicle.
