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.
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.
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.
Seats and Restraints 2-13 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.
2-14 Seats and Restraints 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.
Seats and Restraints 2-15 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 (Continued) W ARNING (Continue d) bones, and that could cause serious or fatal injuries.
2-16 Seats and Restraints 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 .
Seats and Restraints 2-17 Lap-Shoulder Belt All seating positions in the vehicle have a lap-shoulder belt. The following instructions explain how to wear a lap-shoulder belt properly . 1. Adjust the seat, if the seat is adjustable, so you can sit up straight.
2-18 Seats and Restraints T o unlatch the belt, push the button on the buckle. For outboard seating positions, slide the latch plate up the safety belt webbing when the safety belt is not in use. The latch plate should rest on the stitching on the safety belt, near the guide loop.
Seats and Restraints 2-19 Safety Belt Pretensioners This vehicle has safety belt pretensioners for front outboard occupants. Although the safety belt pretensioners cannot be seen, they are part of the safety belt assembly . They can help tighten the safety belts during the early stages of a moderate to severe frontal and near frontal crash if the threshold conditions for pretensioner activation are met.
2-20 Seats and Restraints 3. The belt should not be twisted and it should lie flat. The elastic cord must be under the belt and the guide on top. { 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.
Seats and Restraints 2-21 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 .
2-22 Seats and Restraints Safety Belt Care Keep belts clean and dry . { W ARNING Do not bleach or dye safety belts. It may severely weaken them. In a crash, they might not be able to provide adequate protection. Clean safety belts only with mild soap and lukewarm water .
Seats and Restraints 2-23 For frontal airbags, the word AIRBAG will appear on the middle part of the steering wheel for the driver and on the instrument panel for the right front passenger . With seat-mounted side impact airbags, the word AIRBAG will appear on the side of the seatback closest to the door .
2-24 Seats and Restraints { W ARNING Airbags inflate with great force, faster than the blink of an eye. Anyone who is up against, or very close to, any airbag when it inflates can be seriously injured or killed. Do not sit unnecessarily close to the airbag, as you would be if you were sitting on the edge of your seat or leaning forward.
Seats and Restraints 2-25 Where Are the Airbags? The driver frontal airbag is in the middle of the steering wheel. The right front passenger frontal airbag is in the instrument panel on the passenger side. Driver Side shown, Passenger Side similar The seat-mounted side impact airbags for the driver and right front passenger are in the side of the seatbacks closest to the door .
2-26 Seats and Restraints Driver Side shown, Passenger Side similar The roof-rail airbags for the driver , right front passenger , and second row outboard passengers are in the ceiling above the side windows. { W ARNING If something is between an occupant and an airbag, the airbag might not inflate properly or it might force the object into that person causing severe injury (Continued) W ARNING (Continue d) or even death.
Seats and Restraints 2-27 Frontal airbags may inflate at different crash speeds. For example: . If the vehicle hits a stationary object, the airbags could inflate at a different crash speed than if the vehicle hits a moving object. . If the vehicle hits an object that deforms, the airbags could inflate at a different crash speed than if the vehicle hits an object that does not deform.
2-28 Seats and Restraints determined by the location and severity of the side impact. In a rollover event, roof-rail airbag deployment is determined by the direction of the roll. What Makes an Airbag Inflate? In a deployment event, the sensing system sends an electrical signal triggering a release of gas from the inflator .
Seats and Restraints 2-29 The parts of the airbag that come into contact with you may be warm, but not too hot to touch. There may be some smoke and dust coming from the vents in the deflated airbags. Airbag inflation does not prevent the driver from seeing out of the windshield or being able to steer the vehicle, nor does it prevent people from leaving the vehicle.
2-30 Seats and Restraints . The vehicle has a crash sensing and diagnostic module which records information after a crash. See V ehicle Data Recording and Privacy on page 12 ‑ 14 and Event Data Recorders on page 12 ‑ 15 . . Let only qualified technicians work on the airbag systems.
Seats and Restraints 2-31 an older child riding in a booster seat; and children, who are large enough, using safety belts. A label on the 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.
2-32 Seats and Restraints person of adult size is sitting properly in the right front passenger seat. When the passenger sensing system has allowed the airbag to be enabled, the on indicator will light and stay lit to remind you that the airbag is active.
Seats and Restraints 2-33 6. Restart the vehicle. The passenger sensing system may or may not turn off the airbag for a child in a child restraint depending upon the child ’ s seating posture and body build. It is better to secure the child restraint in a rear seat.
2-34 Seats and Restraints A wet seat can affect the performance of the passenger sensing system. Here is how: . The passenger sensing system may turn off the passenger airbag when liquid is soaked into the seat. If this happens, the off indicator will be lit, and the airbag readiness light on the instrument panel will also be lit.
Seats and Restraints 2-35 Adding Equipment to the Airbag-Equipped V ehicle Q: Is there anything I might add to or change about the vehicle that could keep the airbags from working properly? A: Y es. If you add things that change the vehicle's frame, bumper system, height, front end or side sheet metal, they may keep the airbag system from working properly .
2-36 Seats and Restraints In addition, your dealer and the service manual have information about the location of the airbag sensors, sensing and diagnostic module and airbag wiring. Airbag System Check The airbag system does not need regularly scheduled maintenance or replacement.
Seats and Restraints 2-37 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 .
2-38 Seats and Restraints 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. In a crash, children who are not buckled up can strike other people who are buckled up, or can be thrown out of the vehicle.
Seats and Restraints 2-39 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.
2-40 Seats and 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 in a rear seat.
Seats and Restraints 2-41 The restraint manufacturer's instructions that come with the restraint state the weight and height limitations for a particular child restraint. In addition, there are many kinds of restraints available for children with special needs.

Driving and Operating 8-3 Defensive Driving Defensive driving means “ always expect the unexpected. ” The first step in driving defensively is to wear your safety belt, see Safety Belts on page 2 ‑ 9 . { W ARNING Assume that other road users (pedestrians, bicyclists, and other drivers) are going to be careless and make mistakes.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Driving and Operating 8-9 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.
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: .
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.
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.
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? .
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).
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? .
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 .
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.
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 .
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 .
8-20 Driving and Operating Other Rainy Weather Tips 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.
Driving and Operating 8-21 { W ARNING Coasting downhill in N (Neutral) or with the ignition off is dangerous. The brakes will have to do all the work of slowing down and they could get so hot that they would not work well. Y ou would then have poor braking or even none going down a hill.
8-22 Driving and Operating Blizzard Conditions Being stuck in snow can be in a serious situation. Stay with the vehicle unless there is help nearby . If possible, use the Roadside Assistance Program on page 12 ‑ 6 . T o get help and keep everyone in the vehicle safe: .
Driving and Operating 8-23 T o save fuel, run the engine for only short periods as needed to warm the vehicle and then shut the engine off and close the window most of the way to save heat. Repeat this until help arrives but only when you feel really uncomfortable from the cold.
8-24 Driving and Operating V ehicle Load Limits It is very important to know how much weight the vehicle can carry . This weight is called the vehicle capacity weight and includes the weight of all occupants, cargo and all nonfactory ‐ installed options.
Driving and Operating 8-25 Rating (GA WR) for the front and rear axle. See “ Certification Label ” later in this section. Steps for Determining 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.
