Protecting
Children
Additional Safety
Precaution
•
Do
not
leave a
child
alone
in
your
car. 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.

General Guidelines
for
Using
Child
Seats
As discussed on page 20, 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
26
for
additional information.
Selecting a Child
Seat
To
provide proper protection, a child
seat should meet three
requirements:
1.
The
child
seat
should
meet
safety
standards.
The
child seat should
meet Federal Motor Vehicle
Safety Standard
213
(FMVSS
213)
or Canadian Motor Vehicle Safety
Standard
213
(CMVSS 213). Look
for the manufacturer's statement
of compliance on the box and seat.
