THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE STARTING YOUR VEHICLE 59 • The light remains on or flickers after the 6 to 8 second interval. • The light flickers or comes on and remains on while driving. Child Restraint Everyone in your vehicle needs to be buckled up at all times - babies and children, too. Every state in the United States and all Canadian provinces require that small children ride in proper restraint systems. This is the law, and you can be prosecuted for ignoring it. Children 12 years and under should ride properly buckled up in a seat appropriate for their age and size. According to crash statistics, children are safer when properly restrained in the rear seats, rather than in the front. WARNING! In a collision, an unrestrained child, even a tiny baby, can become a missile inside the vehicle. The force required to hold even an infant on your lap could become so great that you could not hold the child, no matter how strong you are. The child and others could be badly injured. Any child riding in your vehicle should be in a proper restraint for the child's size. Lower Anchors and Tether for CHildren (LATCH) Each vehicle, is equipped with two child restraint anchorage systems called LATCH, which stands for Lower Anchors and Tether for CHildren. The LATCH child restraint anchorage systems are installed on all secondrow seats. 2
