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 injuries. Always buckle your belt into the buckle nearest you. • A belt that is too loose will not protect you as well. In a sudden stop you could move too far forward, increasing the poss[...]

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 a collision.

Airbag System Components The airbag system consists of the following: • Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC) • Airbag W arning Light • Driver Front Airbag • Front Passenger Airbag • Supplemental Side Airbag Inflatable Curtains (SABIC) — if equipped • Steering Wheel and Column • Instrument Panel • Knee Impact Bolsters • Front and [...]

W ARNING! • No objects should be placed over or near the airbag on the instrument panel, because any such objects could cause harm if the vehicle is in a crash severe enough to cause the airbag to inflate. • Do not put anything on or around the airbag covers or attempt to open them manually . Y ou may damage the airbags and you could be injured[...]

The system includes sensors adjacent to both front and rear seat occupants that ar e calibrated to deploy the SABIC airbags during impacts that require airbag occu- pant protection. W ARNING! • If your vehicle is equipped with left and right Side Airbag Inflatable Curtain (SABIC), do not stack luggage or other cargo up high enough to block the lo[...]

W ARNING! Infants in rear-facing child restraints should NEVER ride in the front seat of a vehicle with a passenger front airbag. An airbag deployment can cause severe injury or death to infants in that position. Children that are not big enough to wear the vehicle seat belt properly (see Section on Child Restraints) should be secured in the rear s[...]

W ARNING! • Relying on the airbags alone could lead to more severe injuries in a collision. The airbags work with your seat belt to restrain you properly . In some collisions, the airbags won’t deploy at all. Always wear your seat belts even though you have airbags. • Being too close to the steering wheel or instrument panel during front airb[...]

The Advanced Fr ont Airbags will not deploy in all frontal collisions, including some that may produce substantial vehicle damage — for example, some pole collisions, truck underrides, and angle of fset collisions. On the other hand, depending on the type and location of impact, Advanced Front Airbags may deploy in crashes with little vehicle fro[...]

It also includes diagnostics that will illuminate the instru- ment cluster Airbag W arning Light if a malfunction is noted. The diagnostics also recor d the nature of the malfunction. W ARNING! Ignoring the Airbag W arning Light in your instru- ment panel could mean you won’t have the airbags to protect you in a collision. If the light does not c[...]

deploy the SABIC airbags, depending on severity and type of collision. In these events, the ORC will deploy the SABIC only on the impact side of the vehicle. A quantity of non-toxic gas is generated to inflate the side curtain airbag. The inflating side curtain airbag pushes the outside edge of the headliner out of the way and covers the window . T[...]

• T urn on the interior lights, which remain on as long as the battery has power or until the ignition key is removed. • Unlock the doors automatically . If a Deployment Occurs The airbags are designed to deflate immediately after deployment. NOTE: Front and/or side airbags will not deploy in all collisions. This does not mean something is wron[...]

W ARNING! Deployed airbags and seat belt pretensioners cannot protect you in another collision. Have the airbags, seat belt pretensioners, and the front passenger seat belt retractor assembly replaced by an authorized dealer as soon as possible. Also, have the Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC) system serviced as well. Maintaining Y our Airbag Sys[...]

W ARNING! (Continued) • Do not attempt to modify any part of your ad- vanced airbag system. The airbag may inflate accidentally or may not function properly if modi- fications are made.

by children who weigh more than 20 lbs (9 kg) but are less than one year old. Both types of child r estraints are held in the vehicle by the seat belt or the LA TCH child restraint anchorage system. (Refer to “LA TCH - Child Seat Anchorage System”.) • Rearward-facing child seats must NEVER be used in the fr ont seat of a vehicle with a front [...]

• Make sure that the child is upright in the seat. • The lap portion should be low on the hips and as snug as possible. • Check belt fit periodically . A child’s squirming or slouching can move the belt out of position. • If the shoulder belt contacts the face or neck, move the child closer to the center of the vehicle. Never allow a chil[...]

Here are some tips for getting the most out of your child restraint: • Before buying any restraint system, make sure that it has a label certifying that it meets all applicable Safety Standards. The manufacturer recommends that you try a child restraint in the vehicle seats where you will use it before you buy it. • The restraint must be approp[...]

Then, attach the tether strap to the anchorage located on the back of the seat, being car eful to route the tether strap to provide the most direct path between the anchor and the child restraint. If your vehicle is equi[...]

Installing Child Restraints Using the V ehicle Seat Belt The passenger seat belts are equipped with either cinch- ing latch plates or automatic locking r etractors, which ar e designed to keep the lap portion tight around the child restraint, so that it should not be necessary to use a locking clip. If the seat belt has a cinching latch plate, pull[...]

Child Restraint T ether Anchor The Extended Cab model has one r outing strap located at the bottom of the front passenger seat side, rear outboard seating position. The tether anchor itself is located in the center of vehicle, in between the two seating positions. The front outboard passenger seating position is also equipped with a child tether an[...]

2. Connect the tether strap to the lower anchor located at the bottom rear of the seat. 3. Remove the slack in the tether strap so that it is pulled tight. T ether Straps at the Rear Passenger Seat (Extended Cab) 1. Route the child restraint tether strap through the routing loop, located directly behind the child restraint.

2. Route the tether strap across to the center tether anchorage. The center tether is located behind the slide door in the center of the vehicle, between the two seating positions. 3. Remove the slack in the tether strap so that the anchor strap is pulled tight. T ether Straps at the Rear Passenger Seat (Crew Cab) 1. Route the child restraint tethe[...]

W ARNING! An incorrectly anchored tether strap could lead to seat failure and injury to the child. In a collision, the seat could come loose and allow the child to crash into the inside of the vehicle or other passengers, or even be thrown from the vehicle. Use only the anchor positions directly behind the child restraint to secure a child restrain[...]

ENGINE BREAK-IN RECOMMENDA TIONS A long break-in period is not requir ed for the engine and drivetrain (transmission and axle) in your vehicle. Drive moderately during the first 300 miles (500 km). After the initial 60 miles (100 km), speeds up to 50 or 55 mph (80 or 90 km/h) are desirable. While cruising, brief full-throttle acceleration within th[...]

W ARNING! (Continued) • Do not allow people to ride in any area of your vehicle that is not equipped with seats and seat belts. • Be sure everyone in your vehicle is in a seat and using a seat belt properly .
