Hints To
(NAPS)--Keeping your kids on the
road to safety when in and around a car
can be easier if you take these steps:
What You Can Do
First, according to the National
Highway Traffic Safety Administration
(NHTSA), you should look for a car
with these vehicle safety features:
Rear-view cameras
Interior trunk release
Side-impact air bags
Advanced frontal air bags
Push-down/pull-up window switches
Automatic door locks.
Next, the NHTSA says, you should
always remember to:
1. Use a car seat for every trip--even
when you're )ust going down the street.
Select the car seat based on your child's
age and size, and always follow the man-
ufacturer's directions. Make sure it's com-
patible with your vehicle by checking the
car seat manufacturer's instructions.
2. Keep kids in the backseat at least
through age 12.
3. Tell children not to play around
vehicles. Before getting into a vehicle,
check around and behind it, as well as
thesurrounding area, to ensure no chil-
dren are present.
4. Buckle and lock any unused seat
belts to keep kids from getting tangled
up in them.
5. Never leave a child unattended in
a vehicle, no matter how short the stop,
or what the weather is, even if the win-
dows are cracked. 1he car can heat up
very quickly in almost all weather con-
ditions. Even with moderate outside
temperatures in the mid-6Os, a vehicle's
interior can quickly heat up to more
than 110 F. In addition, if the ignition
is on or the keys are in the ignition, chil-
dren can accidentally cause the vehicle
to rnll or even drive away.
Help You Protect Your Kids In The Car
It's never a good idea to leave a child
alone in a car.
What Can Help
To prevent precious cargo from
being left in cars, one company has
come up with an ingenious Rear Door
Alert (RDA) technology. An industry
first, the system was developed by two
mothers who are also engineers at Nis-
san. It monitors when the rear door
is opened and closed before and after
the vehicle is in motion. The system
responds with a series of notifications if
a rear door was used prior to a trip but
was not reopened after the trip. Once
the vehicle is in park and the ignition is
turned 6if, the system will first display
a notification in the instrument panel
and progresses to distinctive chirps of
the horn to remind drivers to ch~ck the
backseat.
Nissan's RDA is easy to configure
and can be temporarily or permanently
turned off through a menu in the clus-
ter display.
Already available in the Nissan Path-
finder, for model year 2019, RDA will
be standard equipment on eight other
Nissan cars, including the best-sell-
ing Rogue and the all-new Altima. By
model year 2022, it will be standard
on all the company's four-door trucks,
sedans and SUVs.
