Escaping the vehicle from the window
■
There are cases where escaping the vehicle from the window is not possi-
ble due to seating position, passenger body type, etc.
When using an emergency hammer, consider your seat location and the
size of the window opening to ensure that the opening is accessible and
large enough to escape.
