WARNING
Never turn the ignition switch to
the “LOCK” position while the
vehicle is being driven or towed
because that will lock the steering
wheel, preventing steering
control. And when the engine is
turned off, it takes a much greater
effort than usual to steer...
Lower and tether anchorages
WARNING
Attach the child restraint system
to the anchors properly. When
using the LATCH anchors, be
