dow. You must also make sure the
heads, hands and other parts of the
bodies of all occupants are kept
completely inside the vehicle. If
someone’s neck, head or hands get
caught in a closing window, it
could result in death or serious in-
jury. When anyone closes the power
back window, make sure he or she
operates the window safely.
When small children are in the ve-
hicle, never let them use the power
back window switch without super-
vision.
Be sure to remove the key when
you leave your vehicle.
Never leave anyone (particularly a
small child) alone in your vehicle,
especially with the key still in-
serted. Otherwise, he/she could use
the power back window switch and
get trapped in a window. Unat-
tended person (particularly a small
child) can be involved in a serious
accident.
Keep the back window closed while
driving. This not only keeps the
luggage from being thrown out but
also prevents exhaust gases from
entering the vehicle.
