guidelines on how to properly
protect infants, small children, and
larger children who ride in your
vehicle.
1.

Close and Lock the Doors

After everyone has entered the
vehicle, be sure the doors and the
tailgate are closed and locked.
12
Your vehicle has a door and
tailgate open indicator on
the instrument panel to indicate
when a specific door or the tailgate is
not tightly closed.
Locking the doors reduces the
chance of someone being thrown out
of the vehicle during a crash, and it
helps prevent passengers from
accidentally opening a door and
falling out.
Locking the doors also helps prevent
an outsider from unexpectedly
opening a door when you come to a
stop.
See page 85 for how to lock the
doors, and page 65 for how the door
and tailgate open indicator works.
Your vehicle has the auto door
locking/unlocking feature. For more
information, see page 86

Adjust the Front Seats

Adjust the driver's seat as far to the
rear as possible while allowing you to
maintain full control of the vehicle.
Have a front passenger adjust their
seat as far to the rear as possible.
