W ARNING! In an accident, you and your passengers can suffer much greater injuries if you are not properly buckled up. Y ou can strike the interior of your vehicle or other passengers, or you can be thrown out of the vehicle. Always be sure you and others in your vehicle are buckled up properly . Buckle up even though you are an excellent driver , [...]

W ARNING! (Continued) • Be sure everyone in your vehicle is in a seat and using a seat belt properly . • W earing a seat belt incorrectly is dangerous. Seat belts are designed to go around the large bones of your body . These are the strongest parts of your body and can take the forces of an accident best. W earing your belt in the wrong place [...]

2. The seat belt latch plate is above the back of the front seat, next to your arm in the rear seat. Grasp the latch plate and pull out the belt.

W ARNING! • A belt buckled into the wrong buckle will not protect you properly . The lap portion could ride too high on your body , possibly causing internal inju- ries. Always buckle your belt into the buckle nearest you. • A belt that is too loose will not protect you properly . In a sudden stop you could move too far forward, increasing the [...]

4. Position the lap belt across your thighs, below your abdomen. T o remove slack in the lap belt portion, pull up on the shoulder belt. T o loosen the lap belt if it is too tight, tilt the latch plate and pull on the lap belt. A snug belt reduces the risk of sliding under the belt in an accident. W ARNING! • A lap belt worn too high can increase[...]

W ARNING! A frayed or torn belt could rip apart in an accident and leave you with no protection. Inspect the belt system periodically , checking for cuts, frays, or loose parts.

W ARNING! • A lap belt worn too loose or too high is dangerous. • A belt worn too loose can allow you to slip down and under the belt in a collision. • A belt that is too loose or too high will apply crash forces to the abdomen, not to the stronger hip bones. In either case, the risk of internal injuries is greater . W ear a lap belt low and [...]

Airbag Deployment Sensors and Controls Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC) The ORC is part of a Federally regulated safety system requir ed for this vehicle. The ORC determines if deployment of the front airbags in a frontal collision is r equired. Based on impact sensor signals a central electronic ORC deploys the Advanced Front Airbags, as requir[...]

The ORC contains a backup power supply system that may deploy the airbags even if the battery loses power or it becomes disconnected prior to deployment. Also, the ORC turns on the Airbag W arning Light in the instrument panel for appr oxi- mately four to eight seconds for a self-check when the ignition is first turned on. After the self-check, the[...]

If you do have a collision which deploys the airbags, any or all of the following may occur: • The nylon airbag material may sometimes cause abra- sions and/or skin reddening to the driver and fr ont passenger as the airbags deploy and unfold. The abrasions are similar to friction r ope burns or those you might get sliding along a carpet or gymna[...]

Maintaining Y our Airbag System W ARNING! • Modifications to any part of the airbag system could cause it to fail when you need it. Y ou could be injured if the airbag system is not there to protect you. Do not modify the components or wiring, including adding any kind of badges or stickers to the steering wheel hub trim cover or the upper right [...]

Airbag W arning Light Y ou will want to have the airbags ready to inflate for your protection in a collision.

• Four-wheel drive low range (4L) This transfer case is intended to be driven in the 2H position for normal street and highway conditions such as dry , hard surfaced roads. When additional traction is requir ed, the 4H and 4L positions can be used to lock the front and r ear drive- shafts together and force the fr ont and rear wheels to rotate at[...]

Because four-wheel drive pr ovides improved traction, there is a tendency to exceed safe turning and stopping speeds. Do not go faster than road conditions permit.

Proper operation of four -wheel drive vehicles depends on tires of equal size, type and cir cumference on each wheel. Any difference in tir e size can cause damage to the transfer case. Because four-wheel drive pr ovides improved traction, there is a tendency to exceed safe turning and stopping speeds. Do not go faster than road conditions permit. [...]

NOTE: The four-wheel drive system will not allow shifts between 2WD/4WD LOCK if the front and/or r ear wheels are spinning (no traction). In this situation, the selected position indicator light will flash and the origi- nal position indicator light will remain ON. At this time, reduce speed and stop spinning the wheels to complete the shift. 2WD o[...]

NOTE: • If Steps 1 or 2 of either the Preferr ed or Alternate Procedur e are not satisfied prior to attempting the shift, then the desired position indicator light will flash continuously while the original position indicator light is ON, until all requir ements have been met. • The ignition switch must be in the ON position for a shift to take[...]

W ARNING! (Continued) • The Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) cannot prevent the natural laws of physics from acting on the vehicle, nor can it increase braking or steering efficiency beyond that af forded by the condition of the vehicle brakes and tires or the traction afforded. • The ABS cannot prevent accidents, including those resulting from exc[...]

W ARNING! Overloading of your tires is dangerous. Overloading can cause tire failure, affect vehicle handling, and increase your stopping distance. Use tires of the recommended load capacity for your vehicle. Never overload them. TIRES — GENERAL INFORMA TION Tire Pressure Proper tir e inflation pressure is essential to the safe and satisfactory o[...]

W ARNING! (Continued) • Always drive with each tire inflated to the recom- mended cold tire inflation pressure. Economy Improper inflation pr essures can cause uneven wear patterns to develop across the tir e tread. These abnormal wear patterns will reduce tr ead life resulting in a need for earlier tire r eplacement. Under-inflation also increas[...]

Inflation pressur es specified on the placard are always “cold tire inflation pr essure.” Cold tire inflation pr essure is defined as the tire pr essure after the vehicle has not been driven for at least three hours, or driven less than 1 mile (1.6 km) after a three hour period.
