• Do not allow children to play
with a door, window or moon
roof that leads to the outside
because there is a danger that
children may injure
themselves or other accidents
may occur.

• Children should be seated in the rear seats, and not in the front passenger
seat.
• An adult passenger should take a seat as close as possible to the child and
pay attention to safety.
• To provide proper restraint, use a child restraint system following the
manufacturer’s instructions about the appropriate age and size of the child
for the child restraint system. Install the child restraint system correctly,
following the instructions provided by its manufacturer before placing the
child in it.

Even though eight out of ten injury accidents occur at speeds under 65 km/h
(40 mph), children can be injured during quick turns or sudden stops at speeds
below 10 km/h (6 mph). Children who are too small to wear regular seat belts
should always be provided with an approved Child Restraint System.

• The interior temperature of a vehicle parked
in sunlight can become extremely high, and
an unattended child or pet can suffer
heatstroke and dehydration, which can be
fatal. Hypothermia is also a danger in cold
weather. Do not leave a child or pet
unattended in a vehicle.
Also, the child could be involved in an
unexpected accident by playing with the vehicle controls and equipment.
• Do not leave cigarette lighters, matches or other flammable objects inside
the vehicle, because an unexpected accident or fire could result.
