Children in the vehicle
Warning G
Do not leave children unsupervised in the
vehicle even if they are secured in a child re-
straint system. The children could:
ț injure themselves on parts of the vehicle
ț be seriously or even fatally injured by
prolonged exposure to extreme heat or
cold
Do not expose child restraint systems to di-
rect sunlight. Metallic parts of the child re-
straint system could heat up, for example,
and the child could burn him/herself on the
hot parts.
If the children open a door, they could:
ț cause injury to others as a result
ț get out of the vehicle and could either
injure themselves when doing so or they
could be injured by passing vehicles
ț sustain serious injuries if they were to
fall out of the vehicle, due in particular
to the height of the passenger compart-
ment from the ground
