longitudinal deceleration. The pretensioners are designed to activate in frontal and near -frontal collisions, and in rollovers and side collisions when the Safety Canopy 威 is activated. Driver and passenger dual-stage airbag supplemental restraints The dual-stage airbags offer the capability to tailor the level of airbag inflation energy .
W ARNING: Always transport children 12 years old and under in the back seat and always properly use appropriate child restraints. The front passenger sensing system can automatically turn off the front passenger airbag and passenger seat-mounted side airbag.
The Restraints Control Module (RCM) monitors its own internal circuits and the circuits for the airbag supplemental restraints, crash sensor(s), safety belt pretensioners, front safety belt buckle sensors, driver seat position sensor , and front passenger sensing system.
W ARNING: In a rollover crash, an unbelted person is significantly more likely to die than a person wearing a seat belt. W ARNING: Each seating position in your vehicle has a specific safety belt assembly which is made up of one buckle and one tongue that are designed to be used as a pair .
2. T o unfasten, press the release button and remove the tongue from the buckle. All restraints in the vehicle are combination lap and shoulder belts. While you are fastened in the safety belt, the combination lap/shoulder belt adjusts to your movement.

This feature provides additional reminders by intermittently sounding a chime and illuminating the safety belt warning light in the instrument cluster when the driver’ s and front passenger’ s safety belt is unbuckled.
If... Then... The driver’ s or front passenger’ s safety belt becomes unbuckled for approximately one minute while the vehicle is traveling at least 3 mph (5 km/h) and more than 1-2 minutes have elapsed since the ignition switch has been turned to on.
Reasons given... Consider ... “T raffic is light” Nearly 1 of 2 deaths occur in single-vehicle crashes, many when no other vehicles are around. “Belts wrinkle my clothes” Possibly , but a serious crash can do much more than wrinkle your clothes, particularly if you are unbelted.
Deactivating/activating the Belt-Minder 姞 feature The driver and front passenger Belt-Minder 威 are deactivated/activated independently . When deactivating/activating one seating position, do not buckle the other position as this will terminate the process.
4. W ithin approximately seven seconds of the light turning off, buckle then unbuckle the safety belt. • This will disable the Belt-Minder 威 feature for that seating position if it is currently enabled. As confirmation, the safety belt warning light will flash four times per second for three seconds.
W ARNING: All occupants of the vehicle, including the driver , should always properly wear their safety belts, even when an air bag supplemental restraint system (SRS) is provided. W ARNING: When possible, all children 12 years old and under should be properly restrained in a rear seating position.
Children and airbags Children must always be properly restrained. Accident statistics suggest that children are safer when properly restrained in the rear seating positions than in the front seating position. Failure to follow these instructions may increase the risk of injury in a collision.
The airbags inflate and deflate rapidly upon activation. After airbag deployment, it is normal to notice a smoke-like, powdery residue or smell the burnt propellant. This may consist of cornstarch, talcum powder (to lubricate the bag) or sodium compounds (e.

The front passenger sensing system will turn off the passenger seatmounted side airbag if: • the seat is empty and safety belt is unbuckled. The front passenger sensing system uses a ⬙ passenger a.
• Have the person sit upright in the seat, centered on the seat cushion, with the person’ s legs comfortably extended. • Restart the vehicle and have the person remain in this position for about two minutes. This will allow the system to detect that person and enable the passenger’ s frontal airbag.
The front passenger sensing system may detect small or medium objects placed on the seat cushion. For most objects that are in the front passenger seat, the passenger airbag will be disabled. Even though the passenger airbag is disabled, the ⬙ pass airbag off ⬙ lamp may or may not be illuminated according to the table below .
W ARNING: T o reduce the risk of possible serious injury: Do not stow objects in seat back map pocket (if equipped) or hang objects off seat back if a child is in the front passenger seat. Do not place objects underneath the front passenger seat or between the seat and the center console (if equipped).
W ARNING: Any alteration/modification to the front passenger seat may affect the performance of the front passenger sensing system. Determining if the system is operational The supplemental restraint system uses a warning indicator light in the instrument cluster or a back-up tone to indicate the condition of the system.
W ARNING: Do not attempt to service, repair , or modify the airbag SRS, its fuses or the seat cover on a seat containing an airbag. Contact your authorized dealer as soon as possible. W ARNING: All occupants of the vehicle should always wear their safety belts even when an airbag SRS is provided.
The fact that the airbags did not inflate in a collision does not mean that something is wrong with the system. Rather , it means the forces were not of the type sufficient to cause activation.
Safety Canopy 姞 system W ARNING: Do not place objects or mount equipment on or near the headliner at the siderail that may come into contact with a deploying Safety Canopy 威 . Failure to follow these instructions may increase the risk of personal injury in the event of a collision.
How does the Safety Canopy 姞 system work? The design and development of the Safety Canopy 威 system included recommended testing procedures that were developed by a group of automotive safety experts known as the Side Airbag T echnical W orking Group.
The Safety Canopy 威 system is designed to activate when the vehicle sustains lateral deceleration sufficient to cause the side crash sensor to close an electrical circuit that initiates Safety Canopy 威 inflation or when a certain likelihood of a rollover event is detected by the rollover sensor .
• The readiness light will not illuminate immediately after ignition is turned on. • A series of five beeps will be heard. The tone pattern will repeat periodically until the problem and light are repaired. If any of these things happen, even intermittently , have the SRS serviced at your an authorized dealer immediately .
W ARNING: All children are shaped differently . The Recommendations for Safety Restraints are based on probable child height, age and weight thresholds from NHTSA and other safety organizations or are the minimum requirements of law .

W ARNING: Always carefully follow the instructions and warnings provided by the manufacturer of any child restraint to determine if the restraint device is appropriate for your child’ s size, height, weight, or age.
T ransporting children Always make sure your child is secured properly in a device that is appropriate for their age, height and weight. All children are shaped differently . The child height, age and weight thresholds provided are recommendations or the minimum requirements of law .
SAFETY SEATS FOR CHILDREN Infant and/or toddler seats Use a safety seat that is recommended for the size and weight of the child. When installing a child safety seat: • Review and follow the information presented in the Airbag supplemental restraint system (SRS) section in this chapter .
• Place vehicle seat back in upright position. • Put the safety belt in the automatic locking mode. Refer to step 5 below . This vehicle does not require the use of a locking clip.
3. While holding the shoulder and lap belt portions together , route the tongue through the child seat according to the child seat manufacturer’ s instructions.
8. Remove remaining slack from the belt. Force the seat down with extra weight, e.g., by pressing down or kneeling on the child restraint while pulling up on the shoulder belt in order to force slack from the belt.
method eliminates the need to use safety belts to attach the child seat, however the safety belt can still be used to attach the child seat. For forward-facing child seats, the top tether strap must also be attached to the proper top tether anchor , if a top tether strap has been provided with your child seat.
W ARNING: Depending on where you secure a child restraint, and depending on the child restraint design, you may block access to certain safety belt buckle assemblies and/or LA TCH lower anchors, rendering those features potentially unusable.
Combining safety belt and LA TCH lower anchors for attaching child safety seats When used in combination, either the safety belt or the LA TCH lower anchors may be attached first, provided a proper installation is achieved. Attach the tether strap afterward, if included with the child seat.
For vehicles with adjustable head restraints, route the tether strap under the head restraint and between the head restraint posts, , otherwise route the tether strap over the top of the head restraint. If the top of the safety seat hits the adjustable head restraint, raise the head restraint to let the child seat fit further rearward.
Although the lap/shoulder belt will provide some protection, children who have outgrown a typical child seat are still too small for lap/shoulder belts to fit properly , and wearing an improperly fitted vehicle safety belt could increase the risk of serious injury in a crash.
T ypes of booster seats There are generally two types of belt-positioning booster seats: backless and high back. Always use booster seats in conjunction with the vehicle lap/shoulder belt. • Backless booster seats If your backless booster seat has a removable shield, remove the shield.
Children and booster seats vary in size and shape. Choose a booster that keeps the lap belt low and snug across the hips, never up across the stomach, and lets you adjust the shoulder belt to cross the chest and rest snugly near the center of the shoulder .
Follow all instructions provided by the manufacturer of the booster seat. W ARNING: Never place, or allow a child to place, the shoulder belt under a child’ s arm or behind the back because it reduces the protection for the upper part of the body and may increase the risk of injury or death in a collision.
NOTICE TO CROSSOVER VEHICLE OWNERS Crossover vehicles handle differently than passenger cars in the various driving conditions that are encountered on streets, highways and off-road.
driving surfaces are relatively level, obstruction-free and otherwise similar to normal on-road driving conditions. Operating your vehicle under other than those conditions could subject the vehicle to excessive stress which might result in damage which is not covered under your warranty .
INFORMA TION ABOUT UNIFORM TIRE QUALITY GRADING T ire Quality Grades apply to new pneumatic passenger car tires. The Quality grades can be found where applicable on the tire sidewall between tread shoulder and maximum section width.
W ARNING: The traction grade assigned to this tire is based on straight-ahead braking traction tests, and does not include acceleration, cornering, hydroplaning or peak traction characteristics.
• Extra load: A class of P-metric or Metric tires designed to carry a heavier maximum load at 41 psi [43 psi (2.9 bar) for Metric tires]. Increasing the inflation pressure beyond this pressure will not increase the tire’ s load carrying capability .
W ARNING: Under -inflation is the most common cause of tire failures and may result in severe tire cracking, tread separation or ⬙ blowout ⬙ , with unexpected loss of vehicle control and increased risk of injury . Under -inflation increases sidewall flexing and rolling resistance, resulting in heat buildup and internal damage to the tire.
Note: If you have to drive a distance to get air for your tire(s), check and record the tire pressure first and add the appropriate air pressure when you get to the pump. It is normal for tires to heat up and the air pressure inside to go up as you drive.
Improper or inadequate vehicle maintenance can cause tires to wear abnormally . Inspect all your tires, including the spare, frequently , and replace them if one or more of the following conditions ex.
U.S. DOT Tire Identification Number (TIN) Both U.S. and Canada Federal regulations require tire manufacturers to place standardized information on the sidewall of all tires. This information identifies and describes the fundamental characteristics of the tire and also provides a U.
W ARNING: When mounting replacement tires and wheels, you should not exceed the maximum pressure indicated on the sidewall of the tire to set the beads without additional precautions listed below . If the beads do not seat at the maximum pressure indicated, re-lubricate and try again.
• Do not run over curbs or hit the tire against a curb when parking W ARNING: If your vehicle is stuck in snow , mud, sand, etc., do not rapidly spin the tires; spinning the tires can tear the tire and cause an explosion. A tire can explode in as little as three to five seconds.
Tire rotation Rotating your tires at the recommended interval (as indicated in the scheduled maintenance information that comes with your vehicle) will help your tires wear more evenly , providing better tire performance and longer tire life.
INFORMATION CONTAINED ON THE TIRE SIDEWALL Both U.S. and Canada Federal regulations require tire manufacturers to place standardized information on the sidewall of all tires. This information identifies and describes the fundamental characteristics of the tire and also provides a U.
7. H: Indicates the tire’ s speed rating. The speed rating denotes the speed at which a tire is designed to be driven for extended periods of time under a standard condition of load and inflation pressure. The tires on your vehicle may operate at different conditions for load and inflation pressure.
9. M+S or M/S: Mud and Snow , or AT: All T errain, or AS: All Season. 10. T ire Ply Composition and Material Used: Indicates the number of plies or the number of layers of rubber -coated fabric in the tire tread and sidewall.

TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM (TPMS) Each tire, including the spare (if provided), should be checked monthly when cold and inflated to the inflation pressure recommended by the vehicle manufacturer on the vehicle placard or tire inflation pressure label.
The T ire Pressure Monitoring System complies with part 15 of the FCC rules and with RSS-210 of Industry Canada. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.
Understanding your Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) The T ire Pressure Monitoring System measures pressure in your four road tires and sends the tire pressure readings to your vehicle. The Low T ire Pressure W arning Lamp will turn ON if the tire pressure is significantly low .
When you believe your system is not operating properly The main function of the T ire Pressure Monitoring System is to warn you when your tires need air .

Example only: Cargo W eight – includes all weight added to the Base Curb W eight, including cargo and optional equipment. When towing, trailer tongue load weight is also part of cargo weight. GA W (Gross Axle W eight) – is the total weight placed on each axle (front and rear) – including vehicle curb weight and all payload.
GA WR (Gross Axle W eight Rating) – is the maximum allowable weight that can be carried by a single axle (front or rear). These numbers are shown on the Safety Compliance Certification Label located on the B-Pillar or the edge of the driver’ s door .
• Example only: W ARNING: Exceeding the Safety Compliance Certification Label vehicle weight rating limits could result in substandard vehicle handling or performance, engine, transmission and/or structural damage, serious damage to the vehicle, loss of control and personal injury .
GCW (Gross Combined W eight) – is the weight of the loaded vehicle (GVW) plus the weight of the fully loaded trailer . GCWR (Gross Combined W eight Rating) – is the maximum allowable weight of the vehicle and the loaded trailer – including all cargo and passengers – that the vehicle can handle without risking damage.
Steps for determining the correct load limit: 1. Locate the statement “The combined weight of occupants and cargo should never exceed XXX kg or XXX lbs.” on your vehicle’ s placard. 2. Determine the combined weight of the driver and passengers that will be riding in your vehicle.
calculation would be: 635 kg - (2 x 99 kg) - (12 x 45 kg) = 635 - 198 - 540 = -103 kg. Y ou will need to reduce the load weight by at least 240 lb. (104 kg). If you remove 3-100 lb. (45 kg) cement bags, then the load calculation would be: 1,400 - (2 x 220) - (9 x 100) = 1,400 - 440 - 900 = 60 lb.
Do not exceed the maximum loads listed on the Safety Compliance Certification label. For load specification terms found on the label, refer to V ehicle loading — with and without a trailer in this chapter . Remember to figure in the tongue load of your loaded vehicle when figuring the total weight.
Preparing to tow Use the proper equipment for towing a trailer and make sure it is properly attached to your vehicle. Contact your authorized dealer or a reliable trailer dealer as soon as possible if you require assistance. Hitches Do not use hitches that clamp onto the vehicle’ s bumper or attach to the axle.

W ith the A WD option, power will be delivered to the front wheels and distributed to the rear wheels as needed. The A WD system is active all the time and requires no input from the operator .
If your vehicle goes off the edge of the pavement • If your vehicle goes off the edge of the pavement, slow down, but avoid severe brake application, ease the vehicle back onto the pavement only after reducing your speed. Do not turn the steering wheel too sharply while returning to the road surface.
Emergency maneuvers • In an unavoidable emergency situation where a sudden sharp turn must be made, remember to avoid “over -driving” your vehicle (i.e., turn the steering wheel only as rapidly and as far as required to avoid the emergency). Excessive steering will result in less vehicle control, not more.
A void excessive speed because vehicle momentum can work against you and cause the vehicle to become stuck to the point that assistance may be required from another vehicle. Remember , you may be able to back out the way you came if you proceed with caution.
Driving on hilly or sloping terrain Although natural obstacles may make it necessary to travel diagonally up or down a hill or steep incline, you should always try to drive straight up or straight down. A void driving crosswise or turning on steep slopes or hills.
A void sudden braking as well. Although an A WD vehicle may accelerate better than a two-wheel drive vehicle in snow and ice, it won’t stop any faster , because as in other vehicles, braking occurs at all four wheels. Do not become overconfident as to road conditions.
DRIVING THROUGH WATER If driving through deep or standing water is unavoidable, proceed very slowly especially when the depth is not known. Never drive through water that is higher than the bottom of the wheel rims (for cars) or the bottom of the hubs (for trucks).
