Leaving a child without adult
supervision is illegal in most states
and Canadian provinces and can
be very hazardous. For example, a
small child left in a car on a hot
day can die from heatstroke. A
child left alone with the key in the
ignition can accidentally set the
car in motion, possibly injuring
themselves or others.
Children who play in cars can
accidentally get trapped inside the
trunk. Teach your children not to
play in or around cars. Know how
to operate the emergency trunk
opener (US models only) and
decide if your children should be
shown how to use this feature (see
page
).
As discussed on page
, because
your car does not have a back seat,
and because of the passenger’s
airbag hazard, we strongly
recommend that you do not carry a
small child as a passenger in this car.
However, if you must carry a small
child in this car, the child must be
properly restrained in a child seat.
The following pages give general
guidelines for selecting and installing
a child seat. See page
for
additional information.
Even very young
children learn how to unlock
vehicle doors, turn on the ignition,
and open the trunk, which can
lead to accidental injury or death.
