purchased from your dealer. This type of carrier is recommended
if the child is unable to sit up alone. The child is securely re-
strained facing in a rearward direction so that in the event of a
forward collision the child is adequately supported. For children
weighing less than 50 pounds (23 kg) but more than 20 pounds (9
kg), we recommend the purchase of a good safety seat, such as the
Chrysler Child Safety Seat (PIN 3744976). The child seat assures
that any loads that might be exerted on a child are distributed
more widely over the child's body. The seat may be purchased
from your dealer.
The Child Seat or the Infant Carrier should be belted into the
center seating position of the front or rear seats. This provides
greater protection in the event your car is struck in the side by
another car.
Children weighing over 50 pounds (23 kg) should wear the seat
belts provided in the car. The child should be seated upright in
the seat with the lap belt fastened low on the hips ~nd as snug as
possible. A child wearing a lap belt can be elevated to see out of
the car if the elevating platform is rigid and unyielding and light
in weight (styrofoam is good). To insure adequate protection in a
side impact, we suggest that the platform height not exceed 3
inches (76 mm), and that it should be as wide as the distance
between the belts used to secure the seat. Children should be
12
seated in a rear seat or in the center front seat.
Inside Mirror
The mirror should be adjusted to center on the view through the
rear window.
Annoying headlight glare can be reduced by moving the small
control under the mirror to the night position. The mirror should
be adjusted while set in the day position.
Outside Mirror- Drivers Side
To receive maximum benefit, adjust the outside mirror to center
on the adjacent lane of traffic, with a slight overlap of the view
obtained on the inside mirror.
Right Side Mirror
If your vehicle has an optional convex outside mirror, adjust the
mirror so you can just see the side of your vehicle in the portion of
the mirror closest to the vehicle. This type of mirror will give a
much wider view to the rear, and especially of the lane next to
your vehicle. However, cars and other objects seen in a convex
mirror will look smaller and farther away than those seen in a flat
mirror. Therefore, use your inside mirror when judging the size
or distance of a car or object seen in this convex mirror.
