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
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.

L
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:
0 Keep your speed at 55 mph (88 km/h) or less for the first 500
miles (SO4 km).
0 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.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Tu start your 4.3 Liter 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 three seconds, push the accelerator pedal about one-quarter of the
way down for
12 more seconds, or until it starts.
3. If your engine still won’t start (or starts but then stops), it could be
flooded with too much gasoline. Try this:
Wait
15 seconds to let the starter motor cool down. Then push your
accelerator pedal all the way to the floor. Hold it there. Then, hold the
key
in “Start” for no more than ten seconds. This clears the extra
gasoline from the engine.
If the engine still doesn’t start, wait another 15 seconds and do it all
again..
When
the engine starts, let go of the key and the accelerator pedal.
j ~ 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.
See “Towing Your Vehicle” in the Index.

conditions.

You should use
“D’ (Third Gear) when towing a trailer, carrying a
heavy load, driving on steep hills,
or for off-road driving.
2 (Second Gear) - This position gives you more power but lower fuel
economy. You can use “2” (Second Gear) on hills. It can help control
your speed as you go down steep mountain roads, but
then you would
also want to use your brakes
off and on.
If you manually select
“2” (Second Gear), the transmission will drive
in second gear. You may use this feature for reducing torque to the rear
wheels when
you are trying to start your vehicle from a stop on
slippery road surfaces.
1 (First Gear) - This position gives you even more power (but lower
fuel economy) than “2” (Second Gear). You can use it on very steep
hills, or in deep snow or mud. If the selector lever is put
in “1” (First
Gear),
the transmission won’t shift into “1” (First Gear) until the
vehicle
is going slowly enough.
