If a child

wraps a loose seat belt around
their neck, they can be seriously
or fatally injured. (See pages

and

for how to activate

and deactivate the lockable
retractor.)

This can prevent children

from accidentally falling out (see
page

).

This

will prevent unintended use of the
doors.

Leaving children without

adult supervision is illegal in most
states, Canadian provinces and
territories, and can be very
hazardous.
For example, infants and small
children left in a vehicle on a hot
day can die from heatstroke. A
child left alone with the key in the
ignition switch can accidentally set
the vehicle in motion, possibly
injuring themselves or others.

Even very young

children learn how to unlock
vehicle doors, turn on the ignition
switch, and open the tailgate,
which can lead to accidental injury
or death.

Children who play in vehicles can
accidentally get trapped inside.
Teach your children not to play in
or around vehicles.
