If the buffeting occurs with the sunroof open, adjust the sunroof opening to minimize the buffeting. OCCUPANT RESTRAINTS Some of the most important safety features in your vehicle are the restraint systems.
Page 27: Lap/Shoulder Belts
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.
Page 28: Lap/Shoulder Belt Operating Instructions
28 THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE STARTING YOUR VEHICLE 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.
Page 29 WARNING! • 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 too loose will not protect you as well.

This extender should be used only if the existing belt is not long enough.
Page 36 36 THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE STARTING YOUR VEHICLE the instrument panel, above the glove compartment. The words SRS/AIRBAG are embossed on the airbag covers. NOTE: The front airbags are certified to the Federal regulations that allow less forceful deployment. 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.
Page 37 WARNING! • Do not put anything on or around the front airbag covers or attempt to manually open them. You may damage the airbags and you could be injured be- cause the airbags are not there to protect you. These protective covers for the airbag cushions are de- signed to open only when the airbags are inflating.
Page 38 38 THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE STARTING YOUR VEHICLE 1. Children 12 years and under should always ride buckled up in a rear seat. Infants in rear facing child restraints should NEVER ride in the front seat of a vehicle with a passenger airbag. An airbag deplyment could cause severe injury or death to infants in that position.
Page 39 WARNING! • 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.
Page 40 40 THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE STARTING YOUR VEHICLE How The Airbag System Works • The Airbag Control Module (ACM) determines if a frontal collision is severe enough to require the airbags to inflate. Based on the level of collision severity, the front control module determines the proper rate of inflation.
Page 41 units. A large quantity of nontoxic gas is generated to inflate the front airbags. Different airbag inflation rates are possible, these rates are determined by the front airbag control module based on collision severity. The steering wheel hub trim cover and the upper right side of the instrument panel separate and fold out of the way as the bags inflate to their full size.
Page 42 42 THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE STARTING YOUR VEHICLE If A Deployment Occurs The airbag system is designed to deploy the airbags when the impact sensors detect a moderate-to-severe frontal collision, to help restrain the driver and front passenger, and then immediately deflate. NOTE: A frontal collision that is not severe enough to need airbag protection will not activate the system.
Page 43 WARNING! Deployed airbags can’t protect you in another colli- sion. Have the airbags replaced by an authorized dealer as soon as possible. THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE STARTING YOUR VEHICLE 43 Maintaining Your Airbag System WARNING! • Modifications to any part of the airbag system could cause it to fail when you need it.

Page 46 46 THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE STARTING YOUR VEHICLE • For additional information, refer to www.seatcheck.org. WARNING! • 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.
Page 47 • The passenger seat belts are equipped with cinching latch plates, which are designed to keep the latch portion tight around the child restraint so that it is not necessary to use a locking clip. Pulling up on the shoulder portion of the lap/shoulder belt will tighten the belt.
Page 48 48 THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE STARTING YOUR VEHICLE Anchors and Tethers for CHildren. The LATCH system provides for the installation of the child restraint without using the vehicle seat belt. The two rear outboard seating positions have exclusive lower anchorages located at the rear of the seat cushion.
Page 49 and between the two posts. Attach the tether strap hook to the anchor loop. Install the child restraint according to the manufacturer’s instructions, and tighten the vehicle seat belt. Remove the slack from the tether strap accord- ing to the manufacturer’s instructions. Child restraints systems having attachments designed to connect to the lower anchorages are now available.
Page 50 50 THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE STARTING YOUR VEHICLE In general, you will first loosen the adjusters on the lower and tether straps so that you can more easily attach the hook or connector to the lower and tether anchorages. The tether strap should be routed under the center of the head restraint and attached to the tether anchor above the rear liftgate opening behind each rear outboard seat.
Page 51: Engine Break-In Recommendations
ENGINE BREAK-IN RECOMMENDATIONS A long break-in period is not required for the engine in your new vehicle. Drive moderately during the first 300 miles (500 km). After the initial 60 miles (100 km), speeds up to 50 or 55 mph (80 or 90 km/h) are desirable. While cruising, brief full-throttle acceleration, within the limits of local traffic laws, contributes to a good break-in.

Page 226: Trailer Towing
226 STARTING AND OPERATING TRAILER TOWING In this section you will find information on limits to the type of towing you can reasonably do with your vehicle. And you will find safety tips. Before towing a trailer carefully review this information to tow your load as efficiently and safely as possible.
Page 227 WARNING! Improper towing can lead to an injury accident. Follow these guidelines to make your trailer towing as safe as possible: • Be sure a trailer is loaded heavier in front, about 10% to 15% of gross trailer weight. Loads balanced over the wheels or heavier in the rear cause the trailer to sway severely side to side which will cause loss of control of the vehicle and trailer.
Page 228: Trailer And Tongue Weight
228 STARTING AND OPERATING • It is recommended that any hitches installed on your vehicle be factory installed, or installed by a dealer using factory approved parts. Factory approved parts are specifically engineered with your vehicle’s perfor- mance in mind, including the possibility that it will be involved in an accident.
Page 229: Cooling System Tips-Trailer Towing
Always load a trailer with 60% of the cargo weight in the front of the trailer. This places approximately 10% to 15% of the GTW on the tow hitch of your vehicle. This portion of the GTW becomes the tongue weight. Trailer sway control and equalizing hitch are required for tongue weights above 350 lbs (159 kg)., i.e., trailer weights heavier than 3,500 lbs (1 587 kg).
