straint should also be adjusted for proper
height. See also the section on air bags

ensure adequate control, reach, operation
and comfort. Both the interior and exterior
rear view mirrors should be adjusted for
adequate rear vision.

dren should be seated in a properly se-
cured restraint system that complies with
