This
will prevent unintended use of the
doors.
Leaving children without
adult supervision is illegal in most
states, Canadian provinces and
territories, and can be very
hazardous.
For example, infants and small
childrenleftinavehicleonahot
day can die f rom heatstroke. A
child lef t alone with the key in the
ignition switch can accidentally set
the vehicle in motion, possibly
injuring themselves or others. Even very young
children learn how to unlock
vehicle doors, turn on the ignition
switch, and open the tailgate,
which can lead to accidental injury
or death. Children who play in vehicles can
accidentally get trapped inside.
Teach your children not to play in
or around vehicles.
If a child
wraps a loose seat belt around
their neck, they can be seriously
or f atally injured. (See pages
and for how to activate
and deactivate the lockable
retractor.)
This can prevent children
f rom accidentally f alling out (see
page ). 1625150
