As with other vehicles of this type, failure to operate this vehicle correctly may result in loss of control or an accident. Roll Over Warning Utility vehicles have a significantly higher roll over rate than other types of vehicles. This vehicle has a higher ground clearance, higher center of gravity, and narrower track than many passenger cars. It is capable of perform- ing better in a wide variety of off-road applications. Driven in an unsafe manner, all vehicles can be caused to go out of control.
Because of the higher center of gravity and the narrower track, if this vehicle is out of control it may roll over when some other vehicles may not. Failure to operate this vehicle safely may result in an accident, roll over of the vehicle, and severe or fatal injury.
Drive carefully. Failure to use driver and passenger seat beltsprovided is a major cause of severe or fatal injury. In fact, the U. In a roll over crash an unbelted person is significantly more likely to die than a person wearing a seat belt. Always buckle up. This manual has been prepared with the assistance of service and engineering specialists to acquaint you with the operation and maintenance of your new vehicle.
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. Page 39 5. Position the shoulder belt on your chest so that it is comfortable and not resting on your neck.
The retractor will withdraw any slack in the belt. Press the release button to release the anchorage, and then move it up or down to the position that serves you best. Page Energy Management Feature 3. Allow the belt to retract. As the belt retracts, you will hear a clicking sound. This indicates the safety belt is now in the automatic locking mode. The seat belt must still be worn snugly and positioned properly.
A clothing bar will impede the proper performance of the window bags. 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. Older children who do not use child restraints or belt- positioning booster seats should ride properly buckled up in the rear seat.
The airbags work with your seat belt to restrain you properly. Always wear your seat belts even though you have airbags. When the ORC detects a collision requiring the airbags, it signals the inflator units. A large quantity of nontoxic gas is generated to inflate the front airbags.
Deployed airbags and seat belt pretensioners cannot protect you in another collision. Have the airbags, seat belt pretensioners, and seat belt retractor assem- bly, replaced by an authorized dealer as soon as possible. Enhanced Accident Response Feature If the airbags deploy after an impact and the electrical system remains functional, vehicles equipped with power door locks will unlock automatically.
The airbag system is designed to be maintenance free. Page 53 provided to the custodial entity upon request. General data that does not identify particular vehicles or crashes may be released for incorporation in aggregate crash databases, such as those maintained by the US govern- ment and various states. Data of a potentially sensitive nature, such as would identify a particular driver, ve- hicle, or crash, will be treated confidentially.
Every state in the United States and all Canadian provinces require that small children ride in proper restraint systems. It is recommended for children who weigh up to about 20 lbs 9 kg. The manufacturer also recommends that you try a child restraint in the vehicle seats where you will use it before you buy it.
If you still cannot make the child restraint secure, try a different seating position. Page 59 kits or retro-fit kits. You are urged to take advantage of all the available attachments provided with your child re- straint in any vehicle. NOTE: When using the LATCH attaching system to install a child restraint, please ensure that all seat belts not being used for occupant restraints are stowed and out of reach of children.
Not all child restraint systems will be installed as described here. Again, carefully follow the installation instructions that were provided with the child restraint system. Page 61 In addition, there are tether strap anchorages behind each rear seating position located on the back of the seat.
Improper installation of a child restraint to the LATCH anchorages can lead to failure of an infant or child restraint. The child could be badly injured or killed. Disconnect the latch plate from the buckle, turn the buckle around, and insert the latch plate into the buckle again. An unrestrained pet will be thrown about and possibly injured, or injure a passenger during panic braking or in a collision. Pets should be restrained in the rear seat in pet harnesses or pet carriers that are secured by seat belts.
Exhaust gases can injure or kill. They contain carbon monoxide CO which is colorless and odorless. Breath- ing it can make you unconscious and can eventually poison you. To avoid breathing CO follow the safety tips below. If there is any question regarding belt or retractor condition, replace the belt.

ABS Anti-Lock Brake System cannot prevent the natural laws of physics from acting on the vehicle, nor can it increase the traction afforded by prevail- ing road conditions. ABS cannot prevent accidents, including those resulting from excessive speed in turns, driving on very slippery surfaces, or hydro- planing. The system detects an emergency braking situation by sens- ing the rate and amount of brake application and then applies optimum pressure to the brakes.
This can help reduce braking distances. When ERM determines that the rate of change of the steering wheel angle and vehicles speed are sufficient to potentially cause wheel lift, it applies the appropriate brake and may reduce engine power to lessen the chance that wheel lift will occur.
Engine power may also be reduced to help the vehicle maintain the desired path. ESP Electronic Stability Program cannot prevent the natural laws of physics from acting on the vehicle, nor can it increase the traction afforded by prevailing road conditions. ESP cannot prevent acci- dents, including those resulting from excessive speed in turns, driving on very slippery surfaces, or hydroplaning.
