The lap portion could ride too high on your body , possibly causing internal injuries. Always buckle your belt into the buckle nearest you. • A belt[...]

4. Position the lap belt across your thighs, below your abdomen. T o remove slack in the lap belt portion, pull up a bit 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 a collision.

Driver and Front Passenger Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) - Airbag This vehicle has airbags for both the driver and front passenger as a supplement to the seat belt restraint systems. The driver’s airbag is mounted in the steering wheel. The passenger’s front airbag is mounted in the instrument panel, above the glove compartment. The words[...]

The front airbags have a multistage inflator design. This may allow the airbag to have different rates of inflation that are based on collision severity and occupant size. The front passenger airbag is also certified to the Federal regulations that define Occupant Classification (r efer to information on Occupant Classification System in this secti[...]

W ARNING! • Do not put anything on or around the front and side curtain airbag covers or attempt to manually open them.

Airbag System Components The airbag system consists of the following: • Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC) • Airbag W arning Light • Driver Airbag • Front Passenger Airbag • Side Curtain Airbags above Side W indows • Side Remote Acceleration Sensors • Steering Wheel and Column • Instrument Panel • Interconnecting W iring • Fron[...]

The ORC also monitors the r eadiness of the electr onic parts of the system whenever the ignition switch is in the ST AR T or ON position. These include all of the items listed above except the Passenger Airbag Disable (P AD) Indicator Light, the instrument panel, and the steering wheel and column. If the key is in the LOCK position, in the ACC pos[...]

NOTE: Children 12 years and under should always ride buckled up in a r ear seat in an appropriate child restraint. • The Passenger Airbag Disable (P AD) Indicator Light (an amber light located in the center of the instrument panel) tells the driver and front passenger when the front passenger airbag is turned of f. The “P AD Indi- cator Light?[...]

is turned off and it will not inflate. If the “P AD Indicator Light” is not illuminated, DO NOT assume the airbag is turned off and move the child restraint to the rear seat. A deploying passenger airbag can cause death or serious injury to a child in a rear facing infant seat. NOTE: Even though this vehicle is equipped with an Occupant Classif[...]

• The Side Impact SRS Side Curtain Airbags are de- signed to activate only in certain side collisions and rollover events. When the ORC detects a collision requiring the side curtain airbag to inflate, it signals the inflators on the crash side of the vehicle or both sides of the vehicle for a rollover event. A quantity of nontoxic gas is generat[...]

W ARNING! Unapproved modifications or service procedures to the front passenger seat assembly or its related com- ponents may inadvertently change the airbag deploy- ment in case of a frontal crash. This could result in death or serious injury to the front seat passenger if the vehicle is involved in an accident. A modified vehicle may not comply w[...]

• As the airbags deflate, you may see some smoke-like particles. The particles are a normal by-pr oduct of the process that generates the nontoxic gas used for airbag inflation. These airborne particles may irritate the skin, eyes, nose, or throat. If you have skin or eye irritation, rinse the area with cool water . For nose or thr oat irritation[...]

Hill Climbing NOTE: Before attempting to climb a hill, determine the conditions at the crest and/or on the other side. Before climbing a steep hill, shift the transmission to a lower gear and shift the transfer case to 4WD Low . Use first gear and 4WD Low for very steep hills. If you stall or begin to lose headway while climbing a steep hill, allow[...]

W ARNING! Overloading of your tires is dangerous. Overloading can cause tire failure, af fect 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 pressur e is essential to the safe and satisfactory[...]

2. Economy— Improper inflation pressur es can cause uneven wear patterns to develop across the tire tread. These abnormal wear patterns will r educe tr ead life resulting in a need for earlier tir e r eplacement. Under inflation also increases tire r olling resistance and results in higher fuel consump- tion. 3. Ride Comfort and V ehicle Stabilit[...]

check tire pressure. Do not make a visual judgement when determining pr oper inflation. Radial tir es may look properly inflated even when they are under inflated. CAUTION! After inspecting or adjusting the tire pressure, al- ways reinstall the valve stem cap (if equipped). This will prevent moisture and dirt from entering the valve stem, which cou[...]

Tire Pressures for High Speed Operation The manufacturer advocates driving at safe speeds within posted speed limits. Where speed limits or condi- tions are such that the vehicle can be driven at high speeds, maintaining correct tire inflation pressure is very important. Increased tire pressure and reduced vehicle loading may be required for high-s[...]

W ARNING! Fast spinning tires can be dangerous. Forces gener- ated by excessive wheel speeds may cause tire dam- age or failure. A tire could explode and injure some- one.
