CHILD RESTRAINTS
A properly installed and secured child re-
straint system can help reduce the chance or se-
verity of personal injury to a child in an accident
or during a sudden maneuver. Children may be
injured in an accident if they are not seated in a
properly secured child restraint.
A child restraint system is designed to be se-
cured in a vehicle seat by a lap belt or the lap belt
portion of a lap-shoulder belt. According to acci-
dent statistics, children are also safer when prop-
erly restrained in rear seating positions than in
front seating positions.
When purchasing a child restraint system:
1. Look for the label certifying that it meets all
applicable safety standards.
2. Make sure that it will attach to your vehicle
and restrain your child securely and conve-
niently so that you are able to install it cor-
rectly each time it is used.
3. Be certain that it is appropriate for the child's
height, weight and development. The
instructions and/or the regulation label
attached to the restraint typically provides
this information.
4. Review the instructions for installation and
use of the restraint. Be sure that you under-
stand them fully and can install the restraint
properly and safely in your vehicle.
MIRRORS - Exterior
Always adjust mirrors for maximum rear visi-
bility before driving off. Make sure the seat is ad-
justed for proper vehicle control and that you are
sitting back squarely into the seat.
Side Mirror Head Adjustment
While sitting properly in the driver seat and
the mirror arms extended normally, have a helper
grip the mirror head by opposite upper and lower
corners and move it horizontally and vertically
for proper rearward vision.
NOTE: For power mirrors, be sure the power
adjustment is in the middle of it’s adjust-
able range, both up-down and right-left,
before adjusting the head position.
