SAFETY RESTRAINTS Safety restraints precautions Always drive and ride with your seatback upright and the lap belt snug and low across the hips. T o reduce the risk of injury , make sure children sit in the back seat where they can be properly restrained.
Safety belts and seats can become hot in a vehicle that has been closed up in sunny weather; they could burn a small child. Check seat covers and buckles before you place a child anywhere near them.
When to use the automatic locking mode In this mode, the shoulder belt is automatically pre-locked. The belt will still retract to remove any slack in the shoulder belt.
After any vehicle collision, the safety belt systems at all outboard seating positions (except the driver position, which doesn ’ t have this feature) must be checked by a qualified technician to verify that the automatic locking retractor feature for child seats is still functioning properly .
In the event of a collision, the colored label (REPLACE BEL T) may become visible. If this occurs, the safety belt must be replaced. Whenever the yellow portion of the label is visible, the safety belt must be replaced. Failure to follow these instructions will affect the performance of the safety belts and increase the risk of personal injury .
Position the safety belt height adjusters so that the belt rests across the middle of your shoulder . Failure to adjust the safety belt properly could reduce the effectiveness of the seat belt and increase the risk of injury in a collision.
The lap belt will not adjust automatically . T o fasten, grasp the tongue, and with a continuous motion, pull out enough webbing to buckle the tongue into the correct buckle. If you did not pull out enough webbing to reach the buckle, allow the tongue to retract fully before trying to pull it out again.
If... Then... The driver ’ s safety belt is not buckled before the vehicle has reached at least 5 km/h (3 mph) and 1-2 minutes have elapsed since the ignition switch has been turned to ON.
Reasons given... Consider ... “ I was in a hurry ” Prime time for an accident. BeltMinder reminds us to take a few seconds to buckle up. “ Safety belts don ’ t work ” Safety belts, when used properly , reduce risk of death to front seat occupants by 45% in cars, and by 60% in light trucks.
One time disable Any time the safety belt is buckled and then unbuckled during an ignition ON cycle, the BeltMinder will be disabled for that ignition cycle only . Deactivating/activating the BeltMinder feature Read step s1-9 thoroughly before proceeding with the deactivation/activation programming procedure.
• This will disable BeltMinder if it is currently enabled, or enable BeltMinder if it is currently disabled. 7. Confirmation of disabling BeltMinder is provided by flashing the safety belt warning light four times per second for three seconds.
Failure to inspect and if necessary replace the safety belt assembly under the above conditions could result in severe personal injuries in the event of a collision.
The National Highway T raffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) recommends a minimum distance of at least 25 cm (10 inches) between an occupant ’ s chest and the driver air bag module. Never place your arm over the air bag module as a deploying air bag can result in serious arm fractures or other injuries.
Children and air bags Children must always be properly restrained. Accident statistics suggest that children are safer when properly restrained in the rear seating positions than in the front seating position. Failure to follow these instructions may increase the risk of injury in a collision.
The air bags inflate and deflate rapidly upon activation. After air bag deployment, it is normal to notice a smoke-like, powdery residue or smell the burnt propellant. This may consist of cornstarch, talcum powder or sodium compounds which may irritate the skin and eyes, but none of the residue is toxic.
Determining if the system is operational The SRS uses a readiness light in the instrument cluster or a tone to indicate the condition of the system. Refer to Air bag readiness section in the Instrument Cluster chapter . Routine maintenance of the air bag is not required.
Never let a passenger hold a child on his or her lap while the vehicle is moving. The passenger cannot protect the child from injury in a collision. Always follow the instructions and warnings that come with any infant or child restraint you might use.
Booster seats should be used until you can answer YES to ALL of these questions: • Can the child sit all the way back against the vehicle seat back with knees bent comfortably at the edge of the sea.
The shoulder belt should cross the chest, resting snugly on the center of the shoulder . The lap belt should rest low and snug across the hips, never up high across the stomach. If the booster seat slides on the vehicle seat, placing a rubberized mesh sold as shelf or carpet liner under the booster seat may improve this condition.
• Review and follow the information presented in the Air bag supplemental restraint system (SRS) section in this chapter . • Use the correct safety belt buckle for that seating position (the buckle closest to the direction the tongue is coming from).
Installing child safety seats with combination lap and shoulder belts Air bags can kill or injure a child in a child seat. NEVER place a rear -facing child seat in front of an active air bag. If you must use a forward-facing child seat in the front seat, move the seat all the way back.
3. While holding the shoulder and lap belt portions together , route the tongue through the child seat according to the child seat manufacturer ’ s instructions.
7. Pull the lap belt portion across the child seat toward the buckle and pull up on the shoulder belt while pushing down with your knee on the child seat.
The tether strap anchors in your vehicle are in the following positions (shown from top view): • Second row 60/40 bench seat • Second row bucket seats Attach the tether strap only to the appropriate tether anchor as shown. The tether strap may not work properly if attached somewhere other than the correct tether anchor .
• Second row 60/40 bench seat Note: In the right seating position, use either tether anchor . • Second row bucket seats Note: For each seat, use either tether anchor .
• Third row • The anchors are on the back of the seat frame. 4. Clip the tether strap hook to the anchor . If the tether strap is clipped incorrectly , the child safety seat may not be retained properly in the event of a collision.

Understanding the shift positions of the 5 – speed automatic transmission (if equipped-Diesel engines only) This vehicle is equipped with an adaptive T ransmission Shift Strategy . Adaptive Shift strategy offers the optimal transmission operation and shift quality .
N (Neutral) W ith the gearshift lever in N (Neutral), the vehicle can be started and is free to roll. Hold the brake pedal down while in this position. D (Overdrive) with T ow/Haul OFF D (Overdrive) with T ow/Haul OFF is the normal driving position for the best fuel economy .
conditions, the transmission may downshift, slow the vehicle and control the vehicle speed when descending a hill, without the accelerator pedal being pressed. The amount of downshift braking provided will vary based upon the amount the brake pedal is depressed.
REVERSE SENSING SYSTEM (IF EQUIPPED) The Reverse Sensing System (RSS) sounds a tone to warn the driver of obstacles near the rear bumper when the R (Reverse) is selected and the vehicle is moving at speeds less than 5 km/h (3 mph). The system is not effective at speeds above 5 km/h (3 mph) and may not detect certain angular or moving objects.
The RSS detects obstacles up to 2 meters (6 ft.) from the rear bumper with a decreased coverage area at the outer corners of the bumper , (refer to the figures for approximate zone coverage areas). As you move closer to the obstacle, the rate of the tone increases.
FOUR-WHEEL DRIVE (4WD) OPERATION (IF EQUIPPED) For important information regarding safe operation of this type of vehicle, see Preparing to drive your vehicle in this chapter . When four – wheel drive (4WD) is engaged, power is supplied to all four wheels through a transfer case.
• auto-manual hub locks can be manually overridden by rotating the hub lock control from AUTO to LOCK if desired. • automatic operation of the hub locks is recommended, and will increase fuel econ.
4H (4WD High) – For winter and off-road conditions. Sends power to front and rear wheels. 4L (4WD Low) – For low-speed off-road applications that require extra power such as steep grades, deep sand or pulling a boat out of the water . Sends power to front and rear wheels.
4. Move the 4WD control to the 4x4 LOW position. 5. Hold the shift conditions until the LOW RANGE indicator light illuminates. 6. If the LOW RANGE indicator light does not illuminate within 15 seconds, drive the vehicle above 8 km/h (5 mph), then repeat steps 1 through 5 before reporting any shift concerns to your dealer .
Maintain steering wheel control at all times, especially in rough terrain. Since sudden changes in terrain can result in abrupt steering wheel motion, make sure you grip the steering wheel from the outside. Do not grip the spokes. Drive cautiously to avoid vehicle damage from concealed objects such as rocks and stumps.
V ehicles with a higher center of gravity such as utility and four -wheel drive vehicles handle differently than vehicles with a lower center of gravity .
