Page 37: Questions And Answers About Safety Belts
Questions and Answers About Safety Belts Won’t I be trapped in the vehicle after an accident if I’m wearing a safety belt? You could be – whether you’re wearing a safety belt or not. But you can unbuckle a safety belt, even if you’re upside down.
Page 38: Driver Position
Driver Position If I’m a good driver, and I never drive far from home, why should I wear safety belts? This part describes the driver’s restraint system. You may be an excellent driver, but if you’re in an Lap-Shoulder Belt accident –...

The belt force would then be applied at the abdomen, not at the pelvic bones, and that could cause serious or fatal injuries.
Page 45 What’s wrong with this? CAUTION: You 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. Also, the belt would apply too much force to the ribs, which are not as strong as shoulder bones.
Page 46 What’s wrong with this? CAUTION: You 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 to ﬁx it.

Page 52: Rear Seat Passengers
Rear Seat Passengers Rear Seat Outside Passenger Positions It’s very important for rear seat passengers to buckle up!

Page 59: Child Restraints
Child Restraints What is the proper way to wear safety belts? If possible, an older child should wear a Older Children 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.
Page 60 CAUTION: Never do this. Here two children are wearing the same belt. The belt can not properly spread the impact forces. In a crash, the two children can be crushed together and seriously injured. A belt must be used by only one person at a time. What if a child is wearing a lap-shoulder belt, but the child is so small that the shoulder belt is very close to the child’s face or neck?
Page 61 CAUTION: Never do this. Here a child is sitting in a seat that has a lap-shoulder belt, but the shoulder part is behind the child. If the child wears the belt in this way, in a crash the child might slide under the belt.
Page 62: Infants And Young Children
Infants and Young 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. In fact, the law in every state in the United States and in every Canadian province says children up to some age must be restrained while in a vehicle.
Page 63 CAUTION: People should never hold a baby in their arms while riding in a vehicle. A baby does not weigh much — until a crash. During a crash a baby will become so heavy it is not possible to hold it. For example, in a crash at only 25 mph (40 km/h), a 12-lb.

Page 70: Top Strap
Top Strap Some child restraints have a top strap, or “top tether.” It can help restrain the child restraint during a collision. For it to work, a top strap must be properly anchored to the vehicle. Some top strap-equipped child restraints are designed for use with or without the top strap being anchored.
Page 71 Don’t use a child restraint that requires a top strap in Top Strap Anchor Location the right front passenger’s position because there’s no place to anchor the top strap. Anchor the top strap to one of the following anchor points. Be sure to use an anchor point located on the same side of the vehicle as the seating position where the child restraint will be placed.

Some restraints also use another vehicle anchor to secure a top tether strap .
Page 74 To assist you in locating the lower anchors for this child restraint system, each seating position with the LATCH system has a label on the seatback. The labels are located at each lower anchor position, near the base of the second row outboard bucket seats, the 40 side of the 60/40 split bench seat, and both second row captain’s chairs.

Page 310: Control Of A Vehicle
Control of a Vehicle Braking You have three systems that make your vehicle go where Braking action involves perception time and you want it to go. They are the brakes, the steering and reaction time. the accelerator. All three systems have to do their work at First, you have to decide to push on the brake pedal.
Page 311: Anti-Lock Brake System (Abs)
Avoid needless heavy braking. Some people drive in Anti-lock Brake System (ABS) spurts — heavy acceleration followed by heavy Your vehicle may have anti-lock brakes. ABS is an braking — rather than keeping pace with traffic. This is a advanced electronic braking system that will help mistake.
Page 312 The anti-lock system can change the brake pressure faster than any driver could. The computer is programmed to make the most of available tire and road conditions. This can help you steer around the obstacle while braking hard. Let us say the road is wet and you are driving safely. Suddenly, an animal jumps out in front of you.
Page 313: Braking In Emergencies
Remember: Anti-lock does not change the time you can stop rolling. Once they do, the vehicle can not need to get your foot up to the brake pedal or always respond to your steering. Momentum will carry it decrease stopping distance. If you get too close to in whatever direction it was headed when the wheels the vehicle in front of you, you will not have time to apply stopped rolling.
Page 314: Traction Control System (Tcs)
Traction Control System (TCS) Your vehicle may have a traction control system that limits wheel spin. This is especially useful in slippery road conditions. The system operates only if it senses that one or both of the front wheels are spinning or beginning to lose traction.

To turn the system off, All-Wheel Drive (AWD) System press the TCS button located on the instrument If your vehicle has all-wheel drive (AWD), the AWD panel switchbank. system operates automatically without any action required by the driver. If the front drive wheels begin to slip, the rear wheels will automatically begin to drive the vehicle as required.

Steering Suppose you are steering through a sharp curve. Then you suddenly apply the brakes. Both control systems — steering and braking — have to do their work Power Steering where the tires meet the road. Unless you have four-wheel anti-lock brakes, adding the hard braking can If you lose power steering assist because the engine demand too much of those places.
Page 317: Steering In Emergencies
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 in Rain and on Wet Roads Rain and wet roads can mean driving trouble. On a wet road, you can not stop, accelerate or turn as well because your tire-to-road traction is not as good as on dry roads. And, if your tires do not have much tread left, you will get even less traction.
Page 324 CAUTION: Wet brakes can cause accidents. They will not work as well in a quick stop and may cause pulling to one side. You could lose control of the vehicle. After driving through a large puddle of water or a car wash, apply your brake pedal lightly until your brakes work normally.
