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 are closed
and locked.
Your vehicle has a door-
open indicator on the
instrument panel to indicate when
either door 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 80 for how to lock the
doors, and page 63 for how the door-
open indicator works.
Some models have the auto door
locking/unlocking feature. For more
information, see page 82 .

seat as far to the rear as possible.
