In a crash, if you or your passenger(s) are not wearing safety belts, the injuries c[...]

In most states and in all Canadian provinces, the law requires wearing safety belts. Here is why: Y ou never know if you will be in a crash. If you do have a crash, you do not know if it will be a serious one. A few crashes are mild, and some crashes can be so serious that even buckled up, a person would not survive. But most crashes are in between[...]

or the safety belts! With safety belts, you slow down as the vehicle does. Y ou get more time to stop. Y ou stop over more distance, and your strongest bones take the forces. That is why safety belts make such good sense. Questions and Answers About Safety Belts Q: Will I be trapped in the vehicle after a crash if I am wearing a safety belt? A: Y o[...]

Q: If I am a good driver , and I never drive far from home, why should I wear safety belts? A: Y ou may be an excellent driver , but if you are in a crash — even one that is not your fault — you and your passenger(s) can be hurt. Being a good driver does not protect you from things beyond your control, such as bad drivers. Most accidents occur [...]

Sit up straight and always keep your feet on the floor in front of you. The lap part of the belt should be worn low and snug on the hips, just touching the thighs. In a crash, this applies force to the strong pelvic bones and you would be less likely to slide under the lap belt. If you slid under it, the belt would apply force on your abdomen. This[...]

Q: What is wrong with this? A: The shoulder belt is too loose. It will not give as much protection this way . { W ARNING: Y ou can be seriously hurt if your shoulder belt is too loose.

Q: What is wrong with this? A: The belt is over an armrest. { W ARNING: Y ou can be seriously injured if your belt goes over an armrest like this. The belt would be much too high. In a crash, you can slide under the belt. The belt force would then be applied on the abdomen, not on the pelvic bones, and that could cause serious or fatal injuries. Be[...]

Q: What is wrong with this? A: The shoulder belt is worn under the arm. It should be worn over the shoulder at all times. { W ARNING: Y ou can be seriously injured if you wear the shoulder belt under your arm.

Q: What is wrong with this? A: The belt is behind the body . { W ARNING: Y ou can be seriously injured by not wearing the lap-shoulder belt properly . In a crash, you would not be restrained by the shoulder belt. Y our body could move too far forward increasing the chance of head and neck injury . Y ou might also slide under the lap belt. The belt [...]

Q: What is wrong with this? A: The belt is twisted across the body . { W ARNING: Y ou can be seriously injured by a twisted belt. In a crash, you would not have the full width of the belt to spread impact forces. If a belt is twisted, make it straight so it can work properly , or ask your dealer to fix it. 2-29[...]

{ W ARNING: A safety belt that is not properly worn may not provide the protection needed in a crash. The person wearing the belt could be seriously injured. The shoulder belt should go over the shoulder and across the chest. These parts of the body are best able to take belt restraining forces. 4. Buckle, position, and release the safety belt as d[...]

Safety Belt Use During Pregnancy Safety belts work for everyone, including pregnant women. Like all occupants, they are more likely to be seriously injured if they do not wear safety belts.

Child Restraints Older Children Older children who have outgrown booster seats should wear the vehicle's safety belts.

Q: What is the proper way to wear safety belts? A: An older child should wear a lap-shoulder belt and get the additional restraint a shoulder belt can provide. The shoulder belt should not cross the face or neck. The lap belt should fit snugly below the hips, just touching the top of the thighs. This applies belt force to the child's pelvic bo[...]

{ W ARNING: Never do this. Never allow a child to wear the safety belt with the shoulder belt behind their back. A child can be seriously injured by not wearing the lap-shoulder belt properly . In a crash, the child would not be restrained by the shoulder belt. The child could move too far forward increasing the chance of head and neck injury . The[...]

Infants and Y oung Children Everyone in a vehicle needs protection! This includes infants and all other children. Neither the distance traveled nor the age and size of the traveler changes the need, for everyone, to use safety restraints. In fact, the law in every state in the United States and in every Canadian province says children up to some ag[...]

{ W ARNING: Never do this. Children who are up against, or very close to, any airbag when it inflates can be seriously injured or killed. Never put a rear-facing child restraint in the right front seat. Secure a rear-facing child restraint in a rear seat. It is also better to secure a forward-facing child restraint in a rear seat. If you (Continued[...]

Q: What are the different types of add-on child restraints? A: Add-on child restraints, which are purchased by the vehicle's owner , are available in four basic types. Selection of a particular restraint should take into consideration not only the child's weight, height, and age but also whether or not the restraint will be compatible wit[...]

{ W ARNING: A young child's hip bones are still so small that the vehicle's regular safety belt may not remain low on the hip bones, as it should. Instead, it may settle up around the child's abdomen. In a crash, the belt would apply force on a body area that is unprotected by any bony structure. This alone could cause serious or fat[...]

A forward-facing child seat (B) provides restraint for the child's body with the harness. A booster seat (C-D) is a child restraint designed to improve the fit of the vehicle's safety belt system. A booster seat can also help a child to see out the window . 2-46[...]

Securing an Add-On Child Restraint in the V ehicle { W ARNING: A child can be seriously injured or killed in a crash if the child restraint is not properly secured in the vehicle.

Where to Put the Restraint According to accident statistics, children and infants are safer when properly restrained in a child restraint system or infant restraint system secured in a rear seating position.

{ W ARNING: A child in a child restraint in the center front seat can be badly injured or killed by the frontal airbags if they inflate. Never secure a child restraint in the center front seat.

Some child restraints that have a top tether are designed for use with or without the top tether being attached. Others require the top tether always to be attached. In Canada, the law requires that forward-facing child restraints have a top tether , and that the tether be attached. Be sure to read and follow the instructions for your child restrai[...]

Crew and Extended Cab Rear Seat i (T op T ether Anchor): Seating positions with top tether anchors. j (Lower Anchor): Seating positions with two lower anchors.

Regular Cab Do not install a child restraint in the center seat position. See Securing a Child Restraint in the Center Front Seat Position on page 2 ‑ 61 for more information. For regular cab models, the top tether anchors are located under covers on the back panel behind the passenger seat. Remove the trim plug to access the anchor . Be sure to [...]

Do not secure a child restraint in a position without a top tether anchor if a national or local law requires that the top tether be attached, or if the instructions that come with the child restraint say that the top tether must be attached. According to accident statistics, children and infants are safer when properly restrained in a child restra[...]

Notice: Do not let the LA TCH attachments rub against the vehicle ’ s safety belts. This may damage these parts. If necessary , move buckled safety belts to avoid rubbing the LA TCH attachments.

Y our Driving, the Road, and the V ehicle Defensive Driving Defensive driving means “ always expect the unexpected. ” The first step in driving defensively is to wear your safety belt — See Safety Belts: They Are for Everyone on page 2 ‑ 16 . { W ARNING: Assume that other road users (pedestrians, bicyclists, and other drivers) are going to [...]

For persons under 21, it is against the law in every U.S. state to drink alcohol. There are good medical, psychological, and developmental reasons for these laws. The obvious way to eliminate the leading highway safety problem is for people never to drink alcohol and then drive. Medical research shows that alcohol in a person's system can make[...]

Avoid needless heavy braking. Some people drive in spurts, heavy acceleration followed by heavy braking, rather than keeping pace with traffic. This is a mistake. The brakes might not have time to cool between hard stops. The brakes will wear out much faster with a lot of heavy braking. Keeping pace with the traffic and allowing realistic following[...]

Let us say the road is wet and you are driving safely . Suddenly , an animal jumps out in front of you. Y ou slam on the brakes and continue braking. Here is what happens with ABS: A computer senses that the wheels are slowing down. If one of the wheels is about to stop rolling, the computer will separately work the brakes at each front wheel and a[...]

StabiliT rak ® System The vehicle may have a vehicle stability enhancement system called StabiliT rak. It is an advanced computer controlled system that assists the driver with directional control of the vehicle in difficult driving conditions. StabiliT rak activates when the computer senses a discrepancy between the intended path and the directio[...]

The traction control disable button is located on the instrument panel below the climate controls. The traction control part of StabiliT rak can be turned off by pressing and releasing the StabiliT rak button if both systems (traction control and StabiliT rak) were previously on. T o disable both TCS and StabiliTrak, press and hold the button for f[...]

In this mode, engine power is not reduced automatically and the driven wheels can spin more freely . This can cause the brake-traction control to activate constantly . Notice: If the wheel(s) of one axle is allowed to spin excessively while the StabiliT rak, ABS and brake warning lights and any relevant DIC messages are displayed, the transfer case[...]

T ry to adjust the speed so you can drive through the curve. Maintain a reasonable, steady speed. W ait to accelerate until out of the curve, and then accelerate gently into the straightaway . Steering in Emergencies There are times when steering can be more effective than braking. For example, you come over a hill and find a truck stopped in your [...]

Off-Road Recovery The vehicle's right wheels can drop off the edge of a road onto the shoulder while driving. If the level of the shoulder is only slightly below the pavement, recovery should be fairly easy . Ease off the accelerator and then, if there is nothing in the way , steer so that the vehicle straddles the edge of the pavement. T urn [...]

Skidding In a skid, a driver can lose control of the vehicle. Defensive drivers avoid most skids by taking reasonable care suited to existing conditions, and by not overdriving those conditions. But skids are always possible. The three types of skids correspond to the vehicle's three control systems. In the braking skid, the wheels are not rol[...]

Off-roading can be great fun but has some definite hazards. The greatest of these is the terrain itself. When off-road driving, traffic lanes are not marked, curves are not banked, and there are no road signs. Surfaces can be slippery , rough, uphill, or downhill. Avoid sharp turns and abrupt maneuvers. Failure to operate the vehicle correctly off [...]

Loading Y our V ehicle for Off-Road Driving { W ARNING: . Cargo on the load floor piled higher than the seatbacks can be thrown forward during a sudden stop. Y ou or your passengers could be injured. Keep cargo below the top of the seatbacks. . Unsecured cargo on the load floor can be tossed about when driving over rough terrain. Y ou or your passe[...]

Surface Conditions: Off-roading surfaces can be hard-packed dirt, gravel, rocks, grass, sand, mud, snow , or ice. Each of these surfaces affects the vehicle's steering, acceleration, and braking in different ways. Depending on the surface, slipping, sliding, wheel spinning, delayed acceleration, poor traction, and longer braking distances can [...]

Approaching a Hill When you approach a hill, decide if it is too steep to climb, descend, or cross. Steepness can be hard to judge. On a very small hill, for example, there may be a smooth, constant incline with only a small change in elevation where you can easily see all the way to the top. On a large hill, the incline may get steeper as you near[...]

. Sound the horn as you approach the top of the hill to let opposing traffic know you are there. . Use headlamps even during the day to make the vehicle more visible to oncoming traffic. { W ARNING: Driving to the top (crest) of a hill at full speed can cause an accident. There could be a drop-off, embankment, cliff, or even another vehicle. Y ou c[...]

If, after stalling, you try to back down the hill and decide you just cannot do it, set the parking brake, put your transmission in P (Park), and turn off the engine. Leave the vehicle and go get some help. Exit on the uphill side and stay clear of the path the vehicle would take if it rolled downhill. Do not shift the transfer case to Neutral when[...]

. Never go downhill with the transmission in N (Neutral), called free-wheeling. The brakes will have to do all the work and could overheat and fade. V ehicles are much more likely to stall when going uphill, but if it happens when going downhill: 1. Stop the vehicle by applying the regular brakes and apply the parking brake. 2. Shift to P (Park) an[...]

If you feel the vehicle starting to slide sideways, turn downhill. This should help straighten out the vehicle and prevent the side slipping. The best way to prevent this is to “ walk the course ” first, so you know what the surface is like before driving it. Stalling on an Incline { W ARNING: Getting out on the downhill (low) side of a vehicle[...]

{ W ARNING: Driving on frozen lakes, ponds, or rivers can be dangerous. Underwater springs, currents under the ice, or sudden thaws can weaken the ice.
