2-10 Seats and Restraints 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. In many of them, people who buckle up can survive and sometimes walk away . Without safety belts they could have been badly hurt or killed. After more than 40 years of safety belts in vehicles, the facts are clear . In most crashes buckling up does matter ... a lot! Why Safety Belts Work When you ride in or on anything, [...]

Seats and Restraints 2-1 1 The person keeps going until stopped by something. In a real vehicle, it could be the windshield... or the instrument panel... 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 ou could be — whether you are wearing a safety belt or not. But your chance of being conscious during and after an accident, so you can unbuckle and get out, is much greater if you are belted.

2-12 Seats and Restraints Q: If my vehicle has airbags, why should I have to wear safety belts? A: Airbags are supplemental systems only; so they work with safety belts — not instead of them. Whether or not an airbag is provided, all occupants still have to buckle up to get the most protection. That is true not only in frontal collisions, but especially in side and other collisions. 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[...]

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 could cause serious or even fatal injuries. 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. The shoulder belt locks if there[...]

8-4 Driving and Operating Medical research shows that alcohol in a person's system can make crash injuries worse, especially injuries to the brain, spinal cord, or heart. This means that when anyone who has been drinking — driver or passenger — is in a crash, that person's chance of being killed or permanently disabled is higher than if the person had not been drinking. Control of a V ehicle The following three systems help to control the vehicle while driving — brakes, steering, and accelerator . At times, as when driving on snow or ice, it is easy to ask more of those control systems than the tires and road can provide. Meaning, you can lose control of the vehicle. See Stab[...]

Driving and Operating 8-5 If the engine ever stops while the vehicle is being driven, brake normally but do not pump the brakes. If the brakes are pumped, the pedal could get harder to push down. If the engine stops, there will still be some power brake assist but it will be used when the brake is applied. Once the power assist is used up, it can take longer to stop and the brake pedal will be harder to push. Adding non ‐ dealer/non ‐ retailer accessories can affect vehicle performance. See Accessories and Modifications on page 9 ‑ 4 . Steering Electric Power Steering (2.4L L4 Engine) If the engine stalls while driving, the power steering assist system will continue to operate until yo[...]

8-6 Driving and Operating 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 lane, or a car suddenly pulls out from nowhere, or a child darts out from between parked cars and stops right in front of you. These problems can be avoided by braking — if you can stop in time. But sometimes you cannot stop in time because there is no room. That is the time for evasive action — steering around the problem. The vehicle can perform very well in emergencies like these. First apply the brakes. See Braking on page 8 ‑ 4 . It is better to remove as much speed as possible from a collision. Then [...]

Driving and Operating 8-7 pavement. Turn the steering wheel 8 to 13 cm (3 to 5 inches), about one-eighth turn, until the right front tire contacts the pavement edge. Then turn the steering wheel to go straight down the roadway . Loss of Control Let us review what driving experts say about what happens when the three control systems — brakes, steering, and acceleration — do not have enough friction where the tires meet the road to do what the driver has asked. In any emergency , do not give up. Keep trying to steer and constantly seek an escape route or area of less danger . Skidding In a skid, a driver can lose control of the vehicle. Defensive drivers avoid most skids by taking reasonab[...]

8-8 Driving and Operating Off-Road Driving V ehicles with all ‐ wheel drive can be used for off ‐ road driving. V ehicles without all ‐ wheel drive should not be driven off-road except on a level, solid surface. Many of the vehicle design features that help make the vehicle more responsive on paved roads during poor weather conditions also help make it better suited for off ‐ road use than conventional passenger vehicles. The vehicle does not have features usually thought to be necessary for extended or severe off ‐ road use such as special underbody shielding and transfer case low gear range.

8-10 Driving and Operating Environmental Concerns Off-road driving can provide wholesome and satisfying recreation. However , it also raises environmental concerns. We recognize these concerns and urge every off-roader to follow these basic rules for protecting the environment: . Always use established trails, roads, and areas that have been specially set aside for public off-road recreational driving and obey all posted regulations. . Avoid any driving practice that could damage shrubs, flowers, trees, or grasses or disturb wildlife. This includes wheel-spinning, breaking down trees, or unnecessary driving through streams or over soft ground. . Always carry a litter bag and make sure all re[...]

Driving and Operating 8-1 1 Controlling the vehicle is the key to successful off-road driving. One of the best ways to control the vehicle is to control the speed. At higher speeds: . Y ou approach things faster and have less time to react. . There is less time to scan the terrain for obstacles. . The vehicle has more bounce when driving over obstacles. . More braking distance is needed, especially on an unpaved surface. { W ARNING When you are driving off-road, bouncing and quick changes in direction can easily throw you out of position. This could cause you to lose control and crash. So, whether you are driving on or off the road, you and your passengers should wear safety belts. Scanning [...]

8-12 Driving and Operating Some things to consider: . Is the path ahead clear? . Will the surface texture change abruptly up ahead? . Does the travel take you uphill or downhill? . Will you have to stop suddenly or change direction quickly? When driving over obstacles or rough terrain, keep a firm grip on the steering wheel. Ruts, troughs, or other surface features can jerk the wheel out of your hands. When driving over bumps, rocks, or other obstacles, the wheels can leave the ground. If this happens, even with one or two wheels, you cannot control the vehicle as well or at all. Because you will be on an unpaved surface, it is especially important to avoid sudden acceleration, sudden turns,[...]

Driving and Operating 8-13 Consider this as you approach a hill: . Is there a constant incline, or does the hill get sharply steeper in places? . Is there good traction on the hillside, or will the surface cause tire slipping? . Is there a straight path up or down the hill so you will not have to make turning maneuvers? . Are there obstructions on the hill that can block your path, such as boulders, trees, logs, or ruts? . What is beyond the hill? Is there a cliff, an embankment, a drop-off, a fence? Get out and walk the hill if you do not know . It is the smart way to find out. . Is the hill simply too rough? Steep hills often have ruts, gullies, troughs, and exposed rocks because they are [...]

8-14 Driving and Operating If the vehicle stalls, or is about to stall, and you cannot make it up the hill: . Push the brake pedal to stop the vehicle and keep it from rolling backwards and apply the parking brake. . If the engine is still running, shift the transmission to R (Reverse), release the parking brake, and slowly back down the hill in R (Reverse). . If the engine has stopped running, you need to restart it. With the brake pedal pressed and the parking brake still applied, shift the transmission to P (Park) and restart the engine. Then, shift to R (Reverse), release the parking brake, and slowly back down the hill as straight as possible in R (Reverse). . While backing down the hil[...]

Driving and Operating 8-15 Driving Downhill When off-roading takes you downhill, consider: . How steep is the downhill? Will I be able to maintain vehicle control? . What is the surface like? Smooth? Rough? Slippery? Hard-packed dirt? Gravel? . Are there hidden surface obstacles? Ruts? Logs? Boulders? . What is at the bottom of the hill? Is there a hidden creek bank or even a river bottom with large rocks? If you decide you can go down a hill safely , try to keep the vehicle headed straight down. Use a low gear so engine drag can help the brakes so they do not have to do all the work. Descend slowly , keeping the vehicle under control at all times. { W ARNING Heavy braking when going down a [...]

8-16 Driving and Operating Driving Across an Incline An off-road trail will probably go across the incline of a hill. T o decide whether to try to drive across the incline, consider the following: { W ARNING Driving across an incline that is too steep will make your vehicle roll over . Y ou could be seriously injured or killed. If you have any doubt about the steepness of the incline, do not drive across it. Find another route instead. . A hill that can be driven straight up or down might be too steep to drive across. When going straight up or down a hill, the length of the wheel base — the distance from the front wheels to the rear wheels — reduces the likelihood the vehicle will tumble[...]

Driving and Operating 8-17 Stalling on an Incline { W ARNING Getting out on the downhill (low) side of a vehicle stopped across an incline is dangerous. If the vehicle rolls over , you could be crushed or killed. Always get out on the uphill (high) side of the vehicle and stay well clear of the rollover path. If the vehicle stalls when crossing an incline, be sure you, and any passengers, get out on the uphill side, even if the door there is harder to open. If you get out on the downhill side and the vehicle starts to roll over , you will be right in its path. If you have to walk down the slope, stay out of the path the vehicle will take if it does roll over . Driving in Mud, Sand, Snow, or [...]

8-18 Driving and Operating Driving in W ater { W ARNING Driving through rushing water can be dangerous. Deep water can sweep your vehicle downstream and you and your passengers could drown. If it is only shallow water , it can still wash away the ground from under your tires, and you could lose traction and roll the vehicle over . Do not drive through rushing water . Heavy rain can mean flash flooding, and flood waters demand extreme caution. Find out how deep the water is before driving through it. Do not try it if it is deep enough to cover the wheel hubs, axles, or exhaust pipe — you probably will not get through. Deep water can damage the axle and other vehicle parts. If the water is n[...]

Driving and Operating 8-19 Driving on Wet Roads Rain and wet roads can reduce vehicle traction and affect your ability to stop and accelerate. Always drive slower in these types of driving conditions and avoid driving through large puddles and deep ‐ standing or flowing water . { W ARNING Wet brakes can cause crashes. They might not work as well in a quick stop and could cause pulling to one side. Y ou could lose control of the vehicle.

For liquid cleaners, about 20 drops per 3.78 L (1 gal) of water is a good guide. . Do not heavily saturate the upholstery while cleaning. . Damage to the vehicle's interior may result from the use of many organic solvents such as naptha, alcohol, etc. Fabric/Carpet Use a vacuum cleaner with a soft brush attachment to remov[...]

Many commercial leather cleaners and coatings that are sold to preserve and protect leather may permanently change the appearance and feel of the leather and are not recommended. Do not use silicone or wax-based products, or those containing organic solvents to clean the vehicle's interior because they can alter the appearance by increasing the gloss in a non-uniform manner .[...]
