• Locked doors, in combination with the use of seat
belts, can help reduce the risk of ejection in an
accident.

small children, from opening doors and falling out
of moving vehicles.

gaining access to your vehicle when you slow or
come to a stop.

who get into unlocked vehicles may not be able to
get out. Children trapped inside vehicles can quickly
be overcome by heat and suffer serious injury or
death due to heat stroke.Never leave children unattended inside a vehicle. In

vate switches and controls, resulting in an injury or
fatal accident.

hit your head or pinch your hands, neck, etc.
