push the seatback toward the rear as you
lift this latch. Then the
seatback will fold

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine When should an air bag inflate?
The air bag is designed to inflate in moderate to severe frontal or
near-frontal crashes. The air bag will inflate only if the impact speed
is
above the system’s designed “threshold level.” If your vehicle goes straight
into
a wall that doesn’t move or deform, the threshold level is about 14 to 18
mph (23 to 29 kdh). The threshold level can vary, however, with specific
vehicle design,
so that it can be somewhat above or below this range. If your
vehicle strikes something that will move or deform, such
as a parked car, the
threshold level will be higher. The air bag is
not designed to inflate in
rollovers, side impacts, or rear impacts, because inflation woul\
d not help the
occupant.
In any particular crash, no one can say whether an air bag should have
inflated simply because of the damage to
a vehicle or because of what the
repair costs were. Inflation is determined by
the angle of the impact and the
vehicle’s deceleration. Vehicle damage is
only one indication of this.
The air bag system is designed to work properly under a wide range
of
conditions, including off-road usage. Observe safe driving speeds,
especially
on rough terrain. As always, wear your safety belt. See
“Off-Road Driving” in the Index for more tips on off-road\
driving.
What makes an air bag inflate?
In a frontal or near-frontal impact of sufficient severity, the air bag sensing \
system detects that
the vehicle is suddenly stopping as a result of a crash.
The sensing system triggers a chemical reaction
of the sodium azide sealed
in the inflator. The reaction produces nitrogen gas, which inflates the air
bag. The inflator, air bag, and related hardware are all part
of the air bag
module packed inside the steering wheel.
How does an air bag restrain?
In moderate to severe frontal or near-frontal collisions, even belted
occupants can contact
the steering wheel. The air bag supplements the
protection provided by safety belts. Air bags distribute the fo\
rce of
the
impact more evenly over the occupant’s upper body, stopping \
the occupant
more gradually. But air bags would not help you
in many types of collisions,
including rollovers and rear and side impacts, primarily because\

an
occupant’s motion is not toward the air bag. Air bags should never be

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Q: What if a child is wearing a lapshoulder belt, but the child is so
small that the shoulder belt is very close to the child’s face or neck?
A: Move the child toward the center of the vehicle, but be sure that the
shoulder belt still is on the child’s shoulder,
so that in a crash the
child’s upper body would have the restraint that belts provide. If the
child is sitting in a rear outside position of a four-door model, see
“Rear Safety Belt Comfort Guides” in the Index. If the child is
so small
that the shoulder belt is still very close to the child’s face or neck, you
might want to place the child in a seat that has a lap belt, if your
vehicle has one.
Wherever the child sits, the lap portion of the belt should be worn low and
snug on the hips,
just touching the child’s thighs. This applies belt force to
the child’s pelvic bones in a crash.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine New Vehicle “Break-In”
NOTICE:
Your modern vehicle doesn’t need an elaborate “break-in.” But
it will perform better in the long run
if you follow these
guidelines:
Keep your speed at 55 mph (88 km/h) or less for the first 500
miles (804 km).
Don’t drive at any one speed - fast or slow - for the first
500 miles (804 km). Don’t make full-throttle starts.
Avoid making hard stops for the first 200 miles (322 km) or
so. During this time your new brake linings aren’t yet broken
in. Hard stops with new linings can mean premature wear and
earlier replacement. Follow this “breaking-in” guideline
every time
you get new brake linings.
Don’t tow a trailer during ‘(break-in.” See “Towing a Trailer’’
in the Index for more information.
Ignition Switch
Use your key to start your vehicle. The key lets you turn the ignition switch
to
five different positions.

2. RUN
3. START
4. ACC
5. LOCK
ACC (Accessory) - ACC lets you use things like the radio and the
windshield wipers when the engine is

The gear selector should be in neutral. Hold the clutch pedal to the floor and
start the engine. Your vehicle won’t start if the clutch pedal
is not all the
way down
- that’s a safety feature.
To start your V6 engine:
1. Without pushing the accelerator pedal, turn your ignition key to
START. When the engine starts, let
go of the key. The idle speed will
go down as your engine gets warm.
NOTICE:
Holding your key in START for longer than 15 seconds at a time
will cause your battery to be drained much sooner. And the
excessive heat can damage your starter motor.
2. If it doesn’t start right away, hold your key in START. If it doesn’t start
in
10 seconds, push the accelerator pedal all the way down for 5
seconds, or until it starts.
3. If your engine still won’t start, wait 15 seconds to let the starter motor
cool down and do it all again.
When the engine starts, let go
of the key and the accelerator pedal.
NOTICE:
Your engine is designed to work with the electronics in your
vehicle.
If you add electrical parts or accessories, you could
change the
way the fuel injection system operates. Before adding
electrical equipment, check with your dealer.
If you don’t, your
~ engine might not perform properly.
If you ever have to have your vehicle towed, see the part of this
manual that tells how to do it without damaging your vehicle.
