Roll Over W arning Utility vehicles have a significantly higher roll over rate than other types of vehicles. This vehicle has a higher ground clearance, higher center of gravity , and narrower track than many passenger cars. It is capable of perform- ing better in a wide variety of off-road applications. Driven in an unsafe manner , all vehicles ca[...]

Failure to use driver and passenger seat belts provided is a major cause of severe or fatal injury . In fact, the U.S. government notes that the universal use of existing seat belts could cut the highway death toll by 10,000 or more each year , and could reduce disabling injuries by 2 million annually . In a roll over crash an unbelted person is si[...]

OCCUP ANT RESTRAINTS Some of the most important safety featur es in your vehicle are the restraint systems. These include the front and rear seat belts for the d[...]

Research has shown that seat belts save lives, and they can reduce the seriousness of injuries in a collision. Some of the worst injuries happen when people are thrown from the vehicle. Seat belts reduce the possibility of ejection and the risk of injury caused by striking the inside of the vehicle. Everyone in a motor vehicle should be belted at a[...]

Lap/Shoulder Belt Operating Instructions 1. Enter the vehicle and close the door . Sit back and adjust the seat. 2. The seat belt latch plate is above the back of your seat. Grasp the latch plate and pull out the belt. Slide the latch plate up the webbing as far as necessary to make the belt go around your lap. Latch Plate 34 THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE [...]

3. When the belt is long enough to fit, insert the latch plate into the buckle until you hear a “click.” W ARNING! A belt that is 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[...]

4. Position the lap belt across your thighs, below your abdomen. T o remove slack in the lap 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. W ARNING! A lap belt worn too high can increase th[...]

6. T o release the belt, push the red button marked PRESS on the buckle. The belt will automatically retract to its stowed position. If necessary , slide the latch plate down the webbing to allow it to retract fully . W ARNING! A frayed or torn belt could rip apart in a collision and leave you with no protection. Inspect the belt system periodicall[...]

As a guide, if you are shorter than average, you will prefer a lower position, and if you are taller than average, you’ll prefer a higher position. When you release the anchorage, try to move it up or down to make sure that it is locked in position. Automatic Locking Mode — If Equipped In this mode, the shoulder belt is automatically pre- locke[...]

This safety belt system has a retractor assembly that is designed to release webbing in a controlled manner . This feature is designed to help reduce the belt force acting on the occupant’s chest.

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

This vehicle also is equipped with window bags to protect the driver , front, and rear passengers sitting next to a window . They are located above the side windows. Their covers are also labeled SRS/AIRBAG. NOTE: Airbag covers may not be obvious in the interior trim; but they will open to allow airbag deployment. W ARNING! • Do not put anything [...]

The front airbags have a multi stage inflator design. This allows the airbag to have different rates of inflation that are based on collision severity . Along with the seat belts, front airbags work with the instrument panel knee bol- sters to provide improved protection for the driver and front passenger . W indow bags also work with seat belts to[...]

Children that are not big enough to properly wear the vehicle seat belt should be secured in the rear seat, in a child restraint or belt-positioning booster seat. Older children who do not use child restraints or belt- positioning booster seats should ride properly buckled up in the rear seat. Never allow children to slide the shoulder belt behind [...]

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 instru- ment panel during airbag de[...]

The driver front airbag gas is vented through the vent holes in the sides of the airbag. The passenger front airbag gas is vented thr ough the vent holes in the sides of the airbag. In this way , the airbags do not interfere with your control of the vehicle. • The Occupant Classification Module (OCM) is lo- cated beneath the front passenger seat.[...]

The front passenger seat assembly contains critical com- ponents that affect the front passenger airbag deploy- ment. Correctly functioning front passenger seat compo- nents are critical for the Occupant Classification System (OCS) to properly classify the front passenger and calcu- late the proper airbag deployment. Do not make any modifications t[...]

W ARNING! Unapproved modifications or service procedures to the front passenger seat assembly , its related compo- nents, or seat cover may inadvertently change the airbag deployment 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 acci- dent. A modified vehicle ma[...]

• As the airbags deflate you may see some smoke-like particles. The particles are a normal by-product 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 throat irritation, m[...]

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 [...]

W ARNING! In a collision, an unrestrained child, even a tiny baby , can become a missile inside the vehicle. The force required to hold even an infant on your lap can become so great that you could not hold the child, no matter how strong you are. The child and others could be badly injured. Any child riding in your vehicle should be in a proper re[...]

W ARNING! • Improper installation can lead to failure of an infant or child restraint. It could come loose in a collision. The child could be badly injured or killed. Follow the manufacturer’s directions ex- actly when installing an infant or child restraint. • A rearward facing infant restraint should only be used in a rear seat. A rearward [...]

Older Children and Child Restraints Children who weigh more than 20 lbs (9 kg) and who are older than one year can ride forward-facing in the vehicle. Forward-facing child seats and convertible child seats used in the forward-facing direction, are for chil- dren who weigh 20 to 40 lbs (9 to 18 kg), and who are older than one year . These child seat[...]

LA TCH — Child Seat Anchorage System (Lower Anchors and T ether for CH ildren) Y our vehicle’s second r ow seat is equipped with the child restraint anchorage system called LA TCH. The LA TCH system provides for the installation of the child restraint without using the vehicle’s seat belts, instead securing the child restraint using lower anc[...]

The second row outboard seating positions have lower anchorages that are capable of accommodating LA TCH- compatible child seats having flexible, webbing-mounted lower attachments. Child seats with fixed lower attach- ments must be installed in the outboard positions only . Regardless of the specific type of lower attachment, NEVER install LA TCH-c[...]

In addition, there ar e tether strap anchorages behind each rear outboard seating position located on the back of the seat. Many , but not all restraint systems will be equipped with separate straps on each side, with each having a hook or connector for attachment to the lower anchorage and a means of adjusting the tension in the strap.

Y ou will first loosen the adjusters on the lower straps and on the tether strap so that you can more easily attach the hooks or connectors to the vehicle anchorages. Next attach the lower hooks or connectors over the top of the anchorage bars, push[...]

If the seat belt has a automatic locking retractor , it will have a distinctive label. Pull the belt from the retractor until there is enough to allow you to pass through the child restraint and slide the latch plate into the buckle. Then, pull the belt until it is all extracted from the retractor . Allow the belt to return to the retractor , pulli[...]

Route the tether strap over the seat back and attach the hook to the tether anchor located on the back of the seat. For the outboard seating positions, route the tether over the head rests, and attach the hook to the tether anchor located on the back of the seat. W ARNING! An incorrectly anchored tether strap could lead to increased head motion and[...]
