Safety Belts Safety Belts: They Are for Everyone This section of the manual describes how to use safety belts properly . It also describes some things not to do with safety belts. { W ARNING: Do not let anyone ride where a safety belt cannot be worn properly .
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, you go as fast as it goes. T ake the simplest vehicle. Suppose it is just a seat on wheels.
Get it up to speed. Then stop the vehicle. The rider does not stop. 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.
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.
First, before you or your passenger(s) wear a safety belt, there is important information you should know . 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.
Q: What is wrong with this? A: The shoulder belt is too loose. It will not give as much protection this way . { W ARNING: Y ou can be seriously hurt if your shoulder belt is too loose. In a crash, you would move forward too much, which could increase injury .
Q: What is wrong with this? A: The lap belt is too loose. It will not give nearly as much protection this way . { W ARNING: Y ou can be seriously hurt if your lap belt is too loose. In a crash, you could slide under the lap belt and apply force on your abdomen.
Q: What is wrong with this? A: The belt is buckled in the wrong buckle. { W ARNING: Y ou can be seriously injured if your belt is buckled in the wrong place like this. In a crash, the belt would go up over your abdomen. The belt forces would be there, not on the pelvic bones.
Q: What is wrong with this? A: The belt is over an armrest. { W ARNING: Y ou can be seriously injured if your belt goes over an armrest like this. The belt would be much too high. In a crash, you can slide under the belt. The belt force would then be applied on the abdomen, not on the pelvic bones, and that could cause serious or fatal injuries.
Q: What is wrong with this? A: The shoulder belt is worn under the arm. It should be worn over the shoulder at all times. { W ARNING: Y ou can be seriously injured if you wear the shoulder belt under your arm. In a crash, your body would move too far forward, which would increase the chance of head and neck injury .
Q: What is wrong with this? A: The belt is behind the body . { W ARNING: Y ou can be seriously injured by not wearing the lap-shoulder belt properly . In a crash, you would not be restrained by the shoulder belt. Y our body could move too far forward increasing the chance of head and neck injury .
Q: What is wrong with this? A: The belt is twisted across the body . { W ARNING: Y ou can be seriously injured by a twisted belt. In a crash, you would not have the full width of the belt to spread impact forces. If a belt is twisted, make it straight so it can work properly , or ask your dealer/retailer to fix it.
Lap-Shoulder Belt All seating positions in the vehicle have a lap-shoulder belt except for the center front passenger position, if equipped, which has a lap belt. See Lap Belt on page 2 ‑ 47 for more information. The lap ‐ shoulder belts for the first and second row seating positions are equipped with free ‐ falling latch plates.
If the shoulder portion of a passenger belt with a free ‐ falling latch plate is pulled out all the way , the child restraint locking feature may be engaged.
3. Push the latch plate into the buckle until it clicks. If you find that the latch plate will not go fully into the buckle, see if you are using the correct buckle. Pull up on the latch plate to make sure it is secure. If the belt is not long enough, see Safety Belt Extender on page 2 ‑ 48 .
T o unlatch the belt, push the button on the buckle. The belt should return to its stowed position. Before a door is closed, be sure the safety belt is out of the way . If a door is slammed against a safety belt, damage can occur to both the belt and the vehicle.
The adjuster can be moved up just by pushing up on the shoulder belt guide. After the adjuster is set to the desired position, try to move it down without squeezing the buttons to make sure it has locked into position. Safety Belt Pretensioners This vehicle has safety belt pretensioners for front outboard occupants.
There is one guide, if equipped, for each outside passenger position in the second row seat and the third row , if the vehicle has one. Here is how to install a comfort guide to the safety belt: Second Row 1. For the second row , remove the guide from its storage clip on the interior body .
2. Place the guide over the belt, and insert the two edges of the belt into the slots of the guide. 3. Be sure that the belt is not twisted and it lies flat.
{ W ARNING: A safety belt that is not properly worn may not provide the protection needed in a crash. The person wearing the belt could be seriously injured. 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.
Safety Belt Use During Pregnancy Safety belts work for everyone, including pregnant women. Like all occupants, they are more likely to be seriously injured if they do not wear safety belts. A pregnant woman should wear a lap-shoulder belt, and the lap portion should be worn as low as possible, below the rounding, throughout the pregnancy .
T o make the belt shorter , pull its free end as shown until the belt is snug. If the belt is not long enough, see Safety Belt Extender on page 2 ‑ 48 . Make sure the release button on the buckle is positioned so you would be able to unbuckle the safety belt quickly if necessary .
Child Restraints Older Children Older children who have outgrown booster seats should wear the vehicle's safety belts. The manufacturer's instructions that come with the booster seat, state the weight and height limitations for that booster .
Q: What is the proper way to wear safety belts? A: An older child should wear a lap-shoulder belt and get the additional restraint a shoulder belt can provide. The shoulder belt should not cross the face or neck. The lap belt should fit snugly below the hips, just touching the top of the thighs.
{ W ARNING: Never do this. Never allow a child to wear the safety belt with the shoulder belt behind their back. A child can be seriously injured by not wearing the lap-shoulder belt properly . In a crash, the child would not be restrained by the shoulder belt.
Infants and Y oung Children Everyone in a vehicle needs protection! This includes infants and all other children. Neither the distance traveled nor the age and size of the traveler changes the need, for everyone, to use safety restraints.
{ W ARNING: Never do this. Children who are up against, or very close to, any airbag when it inflates can be seriously injured or killed. Never put a rear-facing child restraint in the right front seat. Secure a rear-facing child restraint (Continued) W ARNING: (Continued) in a rear seat.
Q: What are the different types of add-on child restraints? A: Add-on child restraints, which are purchased by the vehicle's owner , are available in four basic types.
{ W ARNING: A young child's hip bones are still so small that the vehicle's regular safety belt may not remain low on the hip bones, as it should. Instead, it may settle up around the child's abdomen. In a crash, the belt would apply force on a body area that is unprotected by any bony structure.
A booster seat (C-D) is a child restraint designed to improve the fit of the vehicle's safety belt system. A booster seat can also help a child to see out the window .
When securing an add-on child restraint, refer to the instructions that come with the restraint which may be on the restraint itself or in a booklet, or both, and to this manual. The child restraint instructions are important, so if they are not available, obtain a replacement copy from the manufacturer .
A label on your sun visor says, “ Never put a rear-facing child seat in the front. ” This is because the risk to the rear-facing child is so great, if the airbag deploys. { W ARNING: A child in a rear-facing child restraint can be seriously injured or killed if the right front passenger airbag inflates.
{ W ARNING: A child in a child restraint in the center front seat can be badly injured or killed by the frontal airbags if they inflate. Never secure a child restraint in the center front seat. It is always better to secure a child restraint in a rear seat.
Lower Anchors Lower anchors (A) are metal bars built into the vehicle. There are two lower anchors for each LA TCH seating position that will accommodate a child restraint with lower attachments (B). T op T ether Anchor A top tether (A, C) anchors the top of the child restraint to the vehicle.
Some child restraints with top tethers are designed for use with or without the top tether being attached. Others require the top tether always to be attached. In Canada, the law requires that forward-facing child restraints have a top tether , and that the tether be attached.
For models with a three passenger third row seat, see the information following for installing a child restraint with a top tether in the third row , if your vehicle has one.
Second Row Seat — 60/40 For models with 60/40 second row seating, the top tether anchors are located at the bottom rear of the seat cushion for each seating position in the second row . Be sure to use an anchor located on the same side of the vehicle as the seating position where the child restraint will be placed.
According to accident statistics, children and infants are safer when properly restrained in a child restraint system or infant restraint system secured in a rear seating position.
Notice: Do not let the LA TCH attachments rub against the vehicle ’ s safety belts. This may damage these parts. If necessary , move buckled safety belts to avoid rubbing the LA TCH attachments. Do not fold the empty rear seat with a safety belt buckled.
If the position you are using does not have a headrest or head restraint and you are using a dual tether , route the tether over the seatback. If the position you are using has an adjustable headrest or head restraint and you are using a dual tether , route the tether around the headrest or head restraint.
Securing a Child Restraint in a Rear Seat Position When securing a child restraint in a rear seating position, study the instructions that came with the child restraint to make sure it is compatible with this vehicle.
Use the following pictures to determine the latch plate style: Free ‐ Falling Latch Plate Cinching Latch Plate 1. Put the child restraint on the seat. 2. Pick up the latch plate, and run the lap and shoulder portions of the vehicle's safety belt through or around the restraint.
3. Push the latch plate into the buckle until it clicks. Position the release button on the buckle so that the safety belt could be quickly unbuckled if necessary . 4. For passenger seating positions with a lap ‐ shoulder belt and a free ‐ falling latch plate, pull the rest of the shoulder belt all the way out of the retractor to set the lock.
5. T o tighten the belt, push down on the child restraint, pull the shoulder portion of the belt to tighten the lap portion of the belt and feed the shoulder belt back into the retractor . When installing a forward-facing child restraint, it may be helpful to use your knee to push down on the child restraint as you tighten the belt.
Securing a Child Restraint in the Right Front Seat Position This vehicle has airbags. A rear seat is a safer place to secure a forward-facing child restraint.
If the child restraint has the LA TCH system, see Lower Anchors and T ethers for Children (LA TCH) on page 2 ‑ 59 for how and where to install the child restraint using LA TCH.
5. Pull the rest of the shoulder belt all the way out of the retractor to set the lock. 6. T o tighten the belt, push down on the child restraint, pull the shoulder portion of the belt to tighten the lap portion of the belt and feed the shoulder belt back into the retractor .
If the vehicle is equipped with the passenger sensing system, and when the passenger sensing system has turned off the right front passenger frontal airbag, the off indicator in the passenger airbag status indicator should light and stay lit when you start the vehicle.
Here are the most important things to know about the airbag system: { W ARNING: Y ou can be severely injured or killed in a crash if you are not wearing your safety belt — even if you have airbags. Airbags are designed to work with safety belts, but do not replace them.
{ W ARNING: Children who are up against, or very close to, any airbag when it inflates can be seriously injured or killed. Airbags plus lap-shoulder belts offer protection for adults and older children, but not for young children and infants. Neither the vehicle's safety belt system nor its airbag system is designed for them.
Where Are the Airbags? The driver's frontal airbag is in the middle of the steering wheel. The right front passenger's frontal airbag is in the instrument panel on the passenger's side.
Driver Side Shown, Passenger Side Similar If the vehicle has seat ‐ mounted side impact airbags for the driver and right front passenger , they are in the side of the seatbacks closest to the door .
Driver Side shown, Passenger Side similar If the vehicle has a third row passenger seat, the roof-rail airbags are located in the ceiling above the rear windows for the outboard passenger positions in the third row .
When Should an Airbag Inflate? Frontal airbags are designed to inflate in moderate to severe frontal or near-frontal crashes to help reduce the potential for severe injuries mainly to the driver's or right front passenger's head and chest.
The vehicle may or may not have seat ‐ mounted side impact airbags. The vehicle has roof-rail airbags. See Airbag System on page 2 ‑ 74 . Seat ‐ mounted side impact airbags and roof-rail airbags are intended to inflate in moderate to severe side crashes.
Rollover capable roof-rail airbags are designed to help contain the head and chest of occupants in the outboard seating positions in the first, second, and third rows, if equipped with a third row seat.
{ W ARNING: A crash severe enough to inflate the airbags may have also damaged important functions in the vehicle, such as the fuel system, brake and steering systems, etc. Even if the vehicle appears to be drivable after a moderate crash, there may be concealed damage that could make it difficult to safely operate the vehicle.
Passenger Sensing System If the vehicle has the passenger airbag status indicator pictured in the following illustration, then the vehicle has a passenger sensing system for the right front passenger position. The passenger airbag status indicator , if equipped, is visible on the overhead console when the vehicle is started.
{ W ARNING: A child in a rear-facing child restraint can be seriously injured or killed if the right front passenger airbag inflates. This is because the back of the rear-facing child restraint would be very close to the inflating airbag.
For some children, including children in child restraints, and for very small adults, the passenger sensing system may or may not turn off the right front passenger frontal airbag, depending upon the person's seating posture and body build.
If the Off Indicator is Lit for an Adult-Size Occupant If a person of adult-size is sitting in the right front passenger seat, but the off indicator is lit, it could be because that person is not sitting properly in the seat.
Additional Factors Affecting System Operation Safety belts help keep the passenger in position on the seat during vehicle maneuvers and braking, which helps the passenger sensing system maintain the passenger airbag status.
Servicing Y our Airbag-Equipped V ehicle Airbags affect how the vehicle should be serviced. There are parts of the airbag system in several places around the vehicle. Y our dealer/retailer and the service manual have information about servicing the vehicle and the airbag system.
different vehicle. Any object, such as an aftermarket seat heater or a comfort enhancing pad or device, installed under or on top of the seat fabric, could also interfere with the operation of the passenger sensing system.
Restraint System Check Checking the Restraint Systems Safety Belts Now and then, check that the safety belt reminder light, safety belts, buckles, latch plates, retractors, and anchorages are all working properly . Look for any other loose or damaged safety belt system parts that might keep a safety belt system from doing its job.
Replacing Restraint System Parts After a Crash { W ARNING: A crash can damage the restraint systems in your vehicle. A damaged restraint system may not properly protect the person using it, resulting in serious injury or even death in a crash.

For persons under 21, it is against the law in every U.S. state to drink alcohol. There are good medical, psychological, and developmental reasons for these laws. The obvious way to eliminate the leading highway safety problem is for people never to drink alcohol and then drive.
Braking See Brake System Warning Light on page 4 ‑ 33 . Braking action involves perception time and reaction time. Deciding to push the brake pedal is perception time. Actually doing it is reaction time. Average reaction time is about three ‐ fourths of a second.
Antilock Brake System (ABS) This vehicle has the Antilock Brake System (ABS), an advanced electronic braking system that helps prevent a braking skid. When the engine is started and the vehicle begins to drive away , ABS checks itself. A momentary motor or clicking noise might be heard while this test is going on.
Using ABS Do not pump the brakes. Just hold the brake pedal down firmly and let antilock work. The brakes might vibrate or some noise might be heard, but this is normal. Braking in Emergencies ABS allows the driver to steer and brake at the same time.
If the system fails to turn on or activate, the StabiliTrak light along with one of the following messages will be displayed on the Driver Information Center (DIC): TRACTION CONTROL OFF , SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL, ST ABILITRAK OFF , SERVICE ST ABILITRAK.
It is recommended to leave the system on for normal driving conditions, but it may be necessary to turn the system off if the vehicle is stuck in sand, mud, ice or snow , and you want to “ rock ” the vehicle to attempt to free it.
Magnetic Ride Control ™ The vehicle may have the MagneRide control system. MagneRide constantly checks speed, wheel position, lift/dive and steering of the vehicle. The damping force for each shock absorber and adjustment level is chosen for the best ride and handling.
Steering Power Steering If the vehicle is a T wo ‐ mode Hybrid, see the T wo ‐ mode Hybrid manual for more information. If power steering assist is lost because the engine stops or the system is not functioning, the vehicle can be steered but it will take more effort.
An emergency like this requires close attention and a quick decision. If holding the steering wheel at the recommended 9 and 3 o'clock positions, it can be turned a full 180 degrees very quickly without removing either hand. But you have to act fast, steer quickly , and just as quickly straighten the wheel once you have avoided the object.
Passing Passing another vehicle on a two-lane road can be dangerous. T o reduce the risk of danger while passing: . Look down the road, to the sides, and to crossroads for situations that might affect a successful pass. If in doubt, wait. . W atch for traffic signs, pavement markings, and lines that could indicate a turn or an intersection.
While driving on a surface with reduced traction, try your best to avoid sudden steering, acceleration, or braking, including reducing vehicle speed by shifting to a lower gear . Any sudden changes could cause the tires to slide. Y ou may not realize the surface is slippery until the vehicle is skidding.
Before Y ou Go Off-Roading . Have all necessary maintenance and service work done. . Make sure there is enough fuel, that fluid levels are where they should be, and that the spare tire, if the vehicle has one, is fully inflated. . Be sure to read all the information about all-wheel-drive vehicles in this manual.
Loading Y our V ehicle for Off-Road Driving { W ARNING: . Cargo on the load floor piled higher than the seatbacks can be thrown forward during a sudden stop. Y ou or your passengers could be injured. Keep cargo below the top of the seatbacks. . Unsecured cargo on the load floor can be tossed about when driving over rough terrain.
. Always carry a litter bag and make sure all refuse is removed from any campsite before leaving. . T ake extreme care with open fires (where permitted), camp stoves, and lanterns. . Never park your vehicle over dry grass or other combustible materials that could catch fire from the heat of the vehicle's exhaust system.
{ 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.
Driving on Hills Off-road driving often takes you up, down, or across a hill. Driving safely on hills requires good judgment and an understanding of what the vehicle can and cannot do. There are some hills that simply cannot be driven, no matter how well built the vehicle.
Driving Uphill Once you decide it is safe to drive up the hill: . Use a low gear and get a firm grip on the steering wheel. . Get a smooth start up the hill and try to maintain speed. Not using more power than needed can avoid spinning the wheels or sliding.
. 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).
{ W ARNING: Heavy braking when going down a hill can cause your brakes to overheat and fade. This could cause loss of control and a serious accident. Apply the brakes lightly when descending a hill and use a low gear to keep vehicle speed under control.
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 .
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.
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 .
. Slow down and keep more space between you and other vehicles because headlamps can only light up so much road ahead. . W atch for animals. . When tired, pull off the road. . Do not wear sunglasses. . Avoid staring directly into approaching headlamps.
Other Rainy Weather T ips Besides slowing down, other wet weather driving tips include: . Allow extra following distance. . Pass with caution. . Keep windshield wiping equipment in good shape. . Keep the windshield washer fluid reservoir filled. . Have good tires with proper tread depth.
Hill and Mountain Roads Driving on steep hills or through mountains is different than driving on flat or rolling terrain. Tips for driving in these conditions include: . Keep the vehicle serviced and in good shape. . Check all fluid levels and brakes, tires, cooling system, and transmission.
Winter Driving Driving on Snow or Ice Drive carefully when there is snow or ice between the tires and the road, creating less traction or grip. Wet ice can occur at about 0°C (32°F) when freezing rain begins to fall, resulting in even less traction.
{ W ARNING: Snow can trap engine exhaust under the vehicle. This may cause exhaust gases to get inside. Engine exhaust contains carbon monoxide (CO) which cannot be seen or smelled. It can cause unconsciousness and even death. If the vehicle is stuck in the snow: .
If Y our V ehicle is Stuck in Sand, Mud, Ice, or Snow Slowly and cautiously spin the wheels to free the vehicle when stuck in sand, mud, ice, or snow. See Rocking Y our V ehicle to Get It Out on page 6 ‑ 30 . If the vehicle has a traction system, it can often help to free a stuck vehicle.
Recovery Hooks { W ARNING: These hooks, when used, are under a lot of force. Always pull the vehicle straight out. Never pull on the hooks at a sideways angle. The hooks could break off and you or others could be injured from the chain or cable snapping back.
Loading the V ehicle It is very important to know how much weight your vehicle can carry . This weight is called the vehicle capacity weight and includes the weight of all occupants, cargo, and all nonfactory-i nstalled options.
The T ire and Loading Information label also shows the size of the original equipment tires (C) and the recommended cold tire inflation pressures (D). For more information on tires and inflation see Tires on page 7 ‑ 58 and Inflation - Tire Pressure on page 7 ‑ 65 .
Example 1 Item Description T otal A V ehicle Capacity Weight for Example 1 = 1,000 lbs (453 kg) B Subtract Occupant Weight @ 150 lbs (68 kg) × 2 = 300 lbs (136 kg) C Available Occupant and Cargo Weig.
Example 3 Item Description T otal A V ehicle Capacity Weight for Example 3 = 1,000 lbs (453 kg) B Subtract Occupant Weight @ 200 lbs (91 kg) × 5 = 1,000 lbs (453 kg) C Available Cargo Weight = 0 lbs .
The Certification/Tire label also tells you the maximum weights for the front and rear axles, called Gross Axle Weight Rating (GAWR). T o find out the actual loads on your front and rear axles, you need to go to a weigh station and weigh your vehicle.
If you put things inside your vehicle — like suitcases, tools, packages, or anything else — they will go as fast as the vehicle goes. If you have to stop or turn quickly , or if there is a crash, they will keep going. { W ARNING: Things you put inside your vehicle can strike and injure people in a sudden stop or turn, or in a crash.
The system is activated when the ignition key is turned to RUN and will automatically adjust vehicle height thereafter . The system may exhaust (lower vehicle height) for up to 10 minutes after the ignition key has been turned to LOCK. Y ou may hear the air compressor operating when the height is being adjusted.
All-Wheel-Drive V ehicles Dinghy and Dolly T owing Notice: T owing an all-wheel-drive vehicle with all four wheels on the ground, or even with only two of its wheels on the ground, will damage drivetrain components. Do not tow an all-wheel-drive vehicle with any of its wheels on the ground.
T wo-Wheel-Drive V ehicles Dinghy T owing Notice: If a two-wheel-drive vehicle is towed with all four wheels on the ground, the transmission could be damaged. The repairs would not be covered by the vehicle warranty . Do not tow a two-wheel-drive vehicle with all four wheels on the ground.
T wo-wheel-drive vehicles should not be towed with the rear wheels on the ground. T wo-wheel-drive transmissions have no provisions for internal lubrication while being towed. Dolly T owing (Rear Wheels Off the Ground) Use the following procedure to dinghy tow a two-wheel-drive vehicle from the rear: 1.
If a weight ‐ distributing hitch is being used, it is recommended to allow the shocks to inflate, thereby leveling the vehicle prior to adjusting the hitch. Autoride ® With this feature, improved vehicle ride and handling is provided under a variety of passenger and loading conditions.
T railering is different than just driving the vehicle by itself. T railering means changes in handling, acceleration, braking, durability and fuel economy . Successful, safe trailering takes correct equipment, and it has to be used properly . The following information has many time-tested, important trailering tips and safety rules.
Weight of the T railer How heavy can a trailer safely be? It depends on how the rig is used. Speed, altitude, road grades, outside temperature and how much the vehicle is used to pull a trailer are all important. It can depend on any special equipment on the vehicle, and the amount of tongue weight the vehicle can carry .
Weight of the T railer T ongue The tongue load (A) of any trailer is very important because it is also part of the vehicle weight. The Gross V ehicle Weight (GVW) includes the curb weight of the vehicle, any cargo carried in it, and the people who will be riding in the vehicle as well as trailer tongue weight.
T railering may be limited by the vehicle's ability to carry tongue weight. T ongue or kingpin weight cannot cause the vehicle to exceed the GVWR (Gross V ehicle Weight Rating) or the RGAWR (Rear Gross Axle Weight Rating). See “ T otal Weight on the Vehicle's T ires ” later in this section for more information.
Weight ‐ Distributing Hitch Adjustment A : Body to Ground Distance B : Front of V ehicle When using a weight-distributing hitch, the spring bars should be adjusted so the distance (A) is the same after coupling the trailer to the tow vehicle and adjusting the hitch.
T o reinstall the hitch cover: 1. Hold the cover at a 45 degree angle to the vehicle and push the upper tabs in the hitch cover into the chrome slots in the fascia. 2. Move the bottom of the cover forward until the lower tabs line up with the lower fascia slots.
T ow/Haul Mode Pressing this button at the end of the shift lever turns on and off the tow/haul mode. This indicator light on the instrument panel cluster comes on when the tow/haul mode is on. T ow/Haul is a feature that assists when pulling a heavy trailer or a large or heavy load.
T railer Brakes A loaded trailer that weighs more than 2,000 lbs (900 kg) needs to have its own brake system that is adequate for the weight of the trailer . Be sure to read and follow the instructions for the trailer brakes so they are installed, adjusted and maintained properly .
During the trip, check occasionally to be sure that the load is secure and the lamps and any trailer brakes still work. Following Distance Stay at least twice as far behind the vehicle ahead as you would when driving the vehicle without a trailer . This can help to avoid heavy braking and sudden turns.
Driving On Grades Reduce speed and shift to a lower gear before starting down a long or steep downgrade. If the transmission is not shifted down, the brakes might get hot and no longer work well. V ehicles can tow in D (Drive). Shift the transmission to a lower gear if the transmission shifts too often under heavy loads and/or hilly conditions.
4. Reapply the brake pedal. Then apply the parking brake and shift into P (Park). 5. Release the brake pedal. { W ARNING: It can be dangerous to get out of the vehicle if the shift lever is not fully in P (Park) with the parking brake firmly set. The vehicle can roll.

Doing Y our Own Service Work If this vehicle is a T wo ‐ mode Hybrid, see the T wo ‐ mode Hybrid manual for more information. { W ARNING: Y ou can be injured and the vehicle could be damaged if you try to do service work on a vehicle without knowing enough about it.
Fuel Use of the recommended fuel is an important part of the proper maintenance of this vehicle. T o help keep the engine clean and maintain optimum vehicle performance, we recommend the use of gasoline advertised as TOP TIER Detergent Gasoline.
Gasoline Octane If the vehicle has the 6.0L V8 engine (VIN Code J), use regular unleaded gasoline with a posted octane rating of 87 or higher . If the octane rating is less than 87, an audible knocking noise, commonly referred to as spark knock, might be heard when driving.
Additives T o provide cleaner air , all gasolines in the United States are now required to contain additives that help prevent engine and fuel system deposits from forming, allowing the emission control system to work properly . In most cases, nothing should have to be added to the fuel.
Many service stations will not have an 85% ethanol fuel (E85) pump available. The U.S. Department of Energy has an alternative fuels website (www .eere.energy .gov/ afdc/infrastructure/locator .html) that can help you find E85 fuel. Those stations that do have E85 should have a label indicating ethanol content.
Filling the T ank { W ARNING: Fuel vapor burns violently and a fuel fire can cause bad injuries. T o help avoid injuries to you and others, read and follow all the instructions on the fuel pump island. Turn off the engine when refueling. Do not smoke near fuel or when refueling the vehicle.
T o open the fuel door , push the rearward center edge in and release and it will open. T o remove the fuel cap, turn it slowly counterclockwise. The fuel cap has a spring in it; if the cap is released too soon, it will spring back to the right. While refueling, hang the tethered fuel cap from the hook on the fuel door .
If the vehicle has a Driver Information Center (DIC), the TIGHTEN GAS CAP message displays if the fuel cap is not properly installed. { W ARNING: If a fire starts while you are refueling, do not remove the nozzle. Shut off the flow of fuel by shutting off the pump or by notifying the station attendant.
Checking Things Under the Hood { W ARNING: An electric fan under the hood can start up and injure you even when the engine is not running. Keep hands, clothing, and tools away from any underhood electric fan. { W ARNING: Things that burn can get on hot engine parts and start a fire.

When to Add Engine Oil If the oil is below the cross-hatched area at the tip of the dipstick, add at least one quart/liter of the recommended oil. This section explains what kind of oil to use. For engine oil crankcase capacity , see Capacities and Specifications on page 7 ‑ 1 15 .
What Kind of Engine Oil to Use Look for three things: . GM4718M This vehicle's engine requires a special oil meeting GM Standard GM4718M. Oils meeting this standard may be identified as synthetic. However , not all synthetic oils will meet this GM standard.
Engine Oil Additives / Engine Oil Flushes Do not add anything to the oil. The recommended oils with the starburst symbol that meet GM standards are all that is needed for good performance and engine protection. Engine oil system flushes are not recommended and could cause engine damage not covered by the vehicle warranty .
How to Reset the Engine Oil Life System The Engine Oil Life System calculates when to change the engine oil and filter based on vehicle use. Whenever the oil is changed, reset the system so it can calculate when the next oil change is required.
Engine Air Cleaner/Filter See Engine Compartment Overview on page 7 ‑ 16 for the location of the engine air cleaner/filter . Inspect the air cleaner/filter every other oil change and replace it at the first oil change after each 50,000 mile (80 000 km) interval.
3. Remove the engine air cleaner/filter from the housing. Care should be taken to dislodge as little dirt as possible. 4. Clean the engine air cleaner/filter sealing surfaces and the housing. 5. Inspect or replace the engine air cleaner/filter . 6. Reinstall the cover and tighten the screws.
Automatic T ransmission Fluid When to Check and Change Automatic T ransmission Fluid It is usually not necessary to check the transmission fluid level. The only reason for fluid loss is a transmission leak or overheating the transmission. If you suspect a small leak, then use the following checking procedures to check the fluid level.
4. Allow the engine to idle (500 – 800 rpm) for at least one minute. Slowly release the brake pedal. 5. Keep the engine running and press the T rip/Fuel button or trip odometer reset stem until TRANS TEMP (T ransmission T emperature) displays on the Driver Information Center (DIC).
5. If the fluid level is below the COLD check band, add only enough fluid as necessary to bring the level into the COLD band. It does not take much fluid, generally less than one pint (0.
4. Check both sides of the dipstick and read the lower level. Repeat the check procedure to verify the reading. 5. Safe operating level is within the HOT cross hatch band on the dipstick.
Cooling System The cooling system allows the engine to maintain the correct working temperature. A. Coolant Surge T ank B. Coolant Surge T ank Pressure Cap C. Engine Cooling Fan(s) { W ARNING: An electric engine cooling fan under the hood can start up even when the engine is not running and can cause injury .
{ W ARNING: Heater and radiator hoses, and other engine parts, can be very hot. Do not touch them. If you do, you can be burned. Do not run the engine if there is a leak. If you run the engine, it could lose all coolant. That could cause an engine fire, and you could be burned.
What to Use { W ARNING: Adding only plain water to the cooling system can be dangerous. Plain water , or some other liquid such as alcohol, can boil before the proper coolant mixture will. The vehicle's coolant warning system is set for the proper coolant mixture.
Checking Coolant The vehicle must be on a level surface when checking the coolant level. Check to see if coolant is visible in the coolant surge tank. If the coolant inside the coolant surge tank is boiling, do not do anything else until it cools down.
How to Add Coolant to the Surge T ank { W ARNING: Y ou can be burned if you spill coolant on hot engine parts. Coolant contains ethylene glycol and it will burn if the engine parts are hot enough. Do not spill coolant on a hot engine. Notice: This vehicle has a specific coolant fill procedure.
If no coolant is visible in the surge tank, add coolant as follows: 1. Y ou can remove the coolant surge tank pressure cap when the cooling system, including the coolant surge tank pressure cap and upper radiator hose, is no longer hot. T urn the pressure cap slowly counterclockwise about one full turn.
4. With the coolant surge tank pressure cap off, start the engine and let it run until you can feel the upper radiator hose getting hot. W atch out for the engine cooling fan. By this time, the coolant level inside the coolant surge tank may be lower .
If you do decide to lift the hood , make sure the vehicle is parked on a level surface. Then check to see if the engine cooling fans are running. If the engine is overheating, both fans should be running. If they are not, do not continue to run the engine and have the vehicle serviced.
If No Steam Is Coming From The Engine Compartment The ENGINE OVERHEA TED STOP ENGINE or the ENGINE OVERHEA TED IDLE ENGINE message, along with a low coolant condition, can indicate a serious problem. If you get an engine overheat warning, but see or hear no steam, the problem may not be too serious.
Overheated Engine Protection Operating Mode If an overheated engine condition exists and the ENGINE POWER IS REDUCED message is displayed, an overheat protection mode which alternates firing groups of cylinders helps prevent engine damage. In this mode, you will notice a loss in power and engine performance.
Power Steering Fluid See Engine Compartment Overview on page 7 ‑ 16 for reservoir location. When to Check Power Steering Fluid It is not necessary to regularly check power steering fluid unless you suspect there is a leak in the system or you hear an unusual noise.
Windshield W asher Fluid What to Use When windshield washer fluid needs to be added, be sure to read the manufacturer's instructions before use. Use a fluid that has sufficient protection against freezing in an area where the temperature may fall below freezing.
Brakes Brake Fluid The brake master cylinder reservoir is filled with DOT 3 brake fluid. See Engine Compartment Overview on page 7 ‑ 16 for the location of the reservoir . There are only two reasons why the brake fluid level in the reservoir might go down: .
Checking Brake Fluid Check brake fluid by looking at the brake fluid reservoir . See Engine Compartment Overview on page 7 ‑ 16 . The fluid level should be above MIN.
Brake Wear This vehicle has disc brakes. Disc brake pads have built-in wear indicators that make a high-pitched warning sound when the brake pads are worn and new pads are needed. The sound can come and go or be heard all the time the vehicle is moving, except when applying the brake pedal firmly .
Replacing Brake System Parts The braking system on a vehicle is complex. Its many parts have to be of top quality and work well together if the vehicle is to have really good braking.
V ehicle Storage { W ARNING: Batteries have acid that can burn you and gas that can explode. Y ou can be badly hurt if you are not careful. See Jump Starting on page 7 ‑ 44 for tips on working around a battery without getting hurt. Infrequent Usage: Remove the black, negative ( − ) cable from the battery to keep the battery from running down.
Notice: Ignoring these steps could result in costly damage to the vehicle that would not be covered by the warranty . T rying to start the vehicle by pushing or pulling it will not work, and it could damage the vehicle. 1. Check the other vehicle. It must have a 12-volt battery with a negative ground system.
The remote negative (-) terminal is a stud located on the right front of the engine, where the negative battery cable attaches. See Engine Compartment Overview on page 7 ‑ 16 for more information on the location of the remote positive (+) and remote negative ( − ) terminals.
{ W ARNING: Fans or other moving engine parts can injure you badly . Keep your hands away from moving parts once the engine is running. 5. Check that the jumper cables do not have loose or missing insulation. If they do, you could get a shock. The vehicles could be damaged too.
9. Connect the other end of the negative ( − ) cable to the remote negative ( − ) terminal, on the vehicle with the dead battery . 10. Now start the vehicle with the good battery and run the engine for a while. 1 1. Try to start the vehicle that had the dead battery .
3. Disconnect the red positive (+) cable from the vehicle with the good battery . 4. Disconnect the red positive (+) cable from the other vehicle. 5. Return the remote positive (+) terminal cover, if the vehicle has one, to its original position.

Front Axle When to Check and Change Lubricant It is not necessary to regularly check front axle fluid unless you suspect there is a leak or you hear an unusual noise.
Headlamp Aiming The vehicle has a visual optical headlamp aiming system. The aim of the headlamps have been preset at the factory and should need no further adjustment. However , if the vehicle is damaged in a crash, the aim of the headlamps may be affected and adjustment may be necessary .
4. At a wall, measure from the ground upward (A) to the recorded distance from Step 3 and mark it. 5. Draw or tape a horizontal line (B) on the wall the width of the vehicle at the height of the mark in Step 4. Notice: Do not cover a headlamp to improve beam cut-off when aiming.
9. Make sure that the light from the headlamp is positioned at the bottom edge of the horizontal tape line. The lamp on the left (A) shows the correct headlamp aim. The lamp on the right (B) shows the incorrect headlamp aim. 10. Repeat Steps 7 through 9 for the opposite headlamp.
LED Lighting The vehicle may have LED headlamps. For replacement of the LED lighting assembly contact your dealer/retailer . Back-Up Lamps T o replace this bulb: 1. Open the liftgate. See Power Liftgate on page 3 ‑ 14 for more information. 2. Remove the two screws from the taillamp assembly .
7. Reinstall the taillamp assembly . When reinstalling, make sure to line up the pins on the taillamp assembly with the vehicle. If you do not line up the pins correctly , you will not be able install the taillamp assembly properly .
Windshield Wiper Blade Replacement Windshield wiper blades should be inspected for wear or cracking. See Scheduled Maintenance on page 8 ‑ 3 . Replacement blades come in different types and are removed in different ways. T o replace the wiper blade assembly: 1.
Backglass Wiper Blade Replacement 1. Lift the wiper blade assembly up and out of the park rest position. 2. Pull the wiper blade assembly away from the backglass. The backglass wiper blade will not lock in a vertical position, so care should be used when pulling it away from the vehicle.
{ W ARNING: . Poorly maintained and improperly used tires are dangerous. . Overloading your tires can cause overheating as a result of too much flexing. Y ou could have an air-out and a serious accident. See Loading the Vehicle on page 6 ‑ 32 . . Underinflated tires pose the same danger as overloaded tires.
Tire Sidewall Labeling Useful information about a tire is molded into the sidewall. The following illustration is an example of a typical P ‐ Metric tire sidewall.
(G) Maximum Cold Inflation Load Limit : Maximum load that can be carried and the maximum pressure needed to support that load. For information on recommen ded tire pressure see Inflation - Tire Pressure on page 7 ‑ 65 and Loading the V ehicle on page 6 ‑ 32 .
Tire T erminology and Definitions Air Pressure : The amount of air inside the tire pressing outward on each square inch of the tire. Air pressure is expressed in pounds per square inch (psi) or kilopascal (kPa). Accessory Weight : This means the combined weight of optional accessories.
Intended Outboard Sidewall : The side of an asymmetrical tire, that must always face outward when mounted on a vehicle. Kilopascal (kPa) : The metric unit for air pressure. Light T ruck (L T ‐ Metric) Tire : A tire used on light duty trucks and some multipurpose passenger vehicles.
Speed Rating : An alphanumeric code assigned to a tire indicating the maximum speed at which a tire can operate. T raction : The friction between the tire and the road surface. The amount of grip provided. T read : The portion of a tire that comes into contact with the road.
Inflation - Tire Pressure If your vehicle is a T wo-mode Hybrid, see the T wo-mode Hybrid manual for more information. T ires need the correct amount of air pressure to operate effectively . Notice: Do not let anyone tell you that under ‐ inflation or over ‐ inflation is all right.
How to Check Use a good quality pocket-type gage to check tire pressure. Y ou cannot tell if your tires are properly inflated simply by looking at them. Radial tires may look properly inflated even when they are underinflated. Check the tire's inflation pressure when the tires are cold.
Tire Pressure Monitor System The T ire Pressure Monitor System (TPMS) uses radio and sensor technology to check tire pressure levels. The TPMS sensors monitor the air pressure in your vehicle's tires and transmit tire pressure readings to a receiver located in the vehicle.
Federal Communications Commission (FCC) and Industry and Science Canada See Radio Frequency Statement on page 9 ‑ 20 for information regarding Part 15 of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Rules and RSS-210/21 1 of Industry and Science Canada.
Y our vehicle's TPMS can warn you about a low tire pressure condition but it does not replace normal tire maintenance. See Tire Inspection and Rotation on page 7 ‑ 71 and Tires on page 7 ‑ 58 . Notice: Liquid tire sealants could damage the Tire Pressure Monitor System (TPMS) sensors.
TPMS Sensor Matching Process Each TPMS sensor has a unique identification code. Any time you rotate your vehicle's tires or replace one or more of the TPMS sensors, the identification codes will need to be matched to the new tire/wheel position.
5. Remove the valve cap from the valve cap stem. Activate the TPMS sensor by increasing or decreasing the tire's air pressure for five seconds, or until a horn chirp sounds. The horn chirp, which may take up to 30 seconds to sound, confirms that the sensor identification code has been matched to this tire and wheel position.
Any time you notice unusual wear , rotate your tires as soon as possible and check wheel alignment. Also check for damaged tires or wheels. See When It Is Time for New Tires on page 7 ‑ 73 and Wheel Replacement on page 7 ‑ 77 . When rotating your vehicle's tires, always use the correct rotation pattern shown here.
When It Is Time for New T ires V arious factors, such as maintenance, temperatures, driving speeds, vehicle loading, and road conditions, influence when you need new tires. One way to tell when it is time for new tires is to check the treadwear indicators, which appear when your tires have only 1/16 inch (1.
GM's exclusive TPC Spec system considers over a dozen critical specifications that impact the overall performance of your vehicle, including brake system performance, ride and handling, traction control, and tire pressure monitoring performance. GM's TPC Spec number is molded onto the tire's sidewall near the tire size.
{ W ARNING: If you use bias-ply tires on the vehicle, the wheel rim flanges could develop cracks after many miles of driving. A tire and/or wheel could fail suddenly , causing a crash.
