it before you place the child in it. Push
it from side to side while holding the
child restraint near the LATCH attach-
ment path. The child restraint should
not move more than 1 inch (25 mm),

different child restraint. Not all child
restraints fit in all types of vehicles. 7. Check to make sure the child restraint
is properly secured prior to each use. If
the child restraint is loose, repeat steps

WARNING
.Always have the doors locked while
driving. Along with the use of seat belts,
this provides greater safety in the event
of an accident by helping to prevent
persons from being thrown from the
vehicle. This also helps keep children
and others from unintentionally opening
the doors, and will help keep out
intruders.
. Before opening any door, always look for
and avoid oncoming traffic.
. Do not leave children unattended inside
the vehicle. They could unknowingly
activate switches or controls. Unat-
tended children could become involved
in serious accidents.
