Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Rear Folding Seat
Your utility vehicle has a folding rear seat which lets you fold t\
he seatbacks
down
for more cargo space.
The rear seat release
handles are
in the
upper center
of the
rear
of the seatbacks.
Push back on the
seatbacks as you pull
up
on the handles.
To raise the seatbacks, just lift up the seatbacks and push until they lock in
the upright position.
Push and pull on the seatbacks
to check that the latches have locked in the
upright position. If they haven’t, have them fixed immediately.
Safety Belts: They’re for Everyone
This part of the manual tells you how to use safety belts properly. It also
tells
you some things you should not do with safety belts.
And it explains the Supplemental Inflatable Restraint, or “air bag” system.

AIR BAG. The system checks the air bag’s electrical system for
malfunctions. The light tells
you if there is an electrical problem. See “Air
Bag Readiness Light’’ in the Index for more information.
How the Air Bag System Works

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Safety Belt Extender
If the vehicle’s safety belt will fasten around you, you should use it.
But
if a safety belt isn’t long enough to fasten, your dealer will order you an
extender. It’s free. When you go in to order it, take the heaviest coat you
will wear,
so the extender will be long enough for you. The extender will be
just for you, and just for the seat in your vehicle that you choose. Don’t let
someone else use it, and use it only for the seat it is made to fit.
To wear it,
just attach it to the regular safety belt.
Checking Your Restraint Systems
Now and then, make sure all your belts, buckles, latch plates, retractors,
anchorages and reminder systems are working properly.
Look for any other
loose or damaged restraint system parts. If you see anything that might keep
a restraint system from doing its job, have it repaired.
Torn or frayed belts may not protect you in a crash. They can rip apart under
impact forces. If a belt is torn or frayed, get a new one right away.
Replacing Seat and Restraint System Parts
After
a Crash
If you’ve had a crash, do you need new belts?
After a very minor collision, nothing may be necessary. But if the belts were
stretched, as they would be if worn during a more severe crash, then you
need new belts.
If belts are cut or damaged, replace them. Collision damage also may mean
you will need to have safety belt or seat parts repaired or replaced. New
parts and repairs may be necessary even if the belt wasn’t being used at the
time of the collision.
Before replacing any safety belt, see your dealer for the correct part number.
You’ll need the model year and model number for your vehicle. The model
year is on your title and registration. And you can find the model nu\
mber on
the Certificatioflire label of your vehicle. See “Certificatioflire Label” in
the Index.

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

2HI - This setting is for driving in most street and highway situations.
Your front axle is not engaged in two-wheel drive.
4HI - This setting engages your front axle to help drive your vehicle. Use
4HI when you need extra traction, such as on snowy or icy roads, or in mos
off-road situations.
N SET PARK BRAKE - Shift to this neutral setting only when your
vehicle needs to be towed.
4LO - This setting also engages your front axle to give you extra traction
and provides extra gear reduction. You may never need 4LO. It sends the
maximum power to all four wheels. You might choose 4LO if
you were
driving off-road in sand, mud, or deep snow and climbing or descending
steep hills.
You can shift from 2HI to 4HI or from 4HI to 2HI while the vehicle is
moving.
Do not press the transfer case shift lever button when shifting fron
2HI to 4HI or from 4HI to 2HI. Your front axle will engage faster
if you
take your foot off
of the accelerator for a few seconds after you shift.

your gears could clash.
Remember that driving in 4HI or 4LO may reduce fuel economy. Also,
driving in four-wheel
drive on dry pavement could cause your tires to wea
faster and make your transfer case harder to shift and reduce powertrain
longevity.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine A green arrow on the
instrument panel will
flash
in the direction
of the turn or lane
change.
To signal a lane change, just raise or lower the lever until the green arrow
starts to flash. Hold it there until you complete your lane change. The lever
will return by itself when you release it.
As you signal a turn or a lane change, if the arrows don’t flash but just stay
on, a signal bulb may be burned out and other drivers won’t see your turn
signal.
If a bulb is burned out, replace it to help avoid an accident. If the green
arrows don’t go on at all when
you signal a turn, check the fuse (see “Fuses”
in the Index) and for burned-out bulbs.
If you have a trailer towing option with added wiring for the trailer lights, a
different turn signal flasher is used. With this flasher instal\
led, the signal
indicator will flash even if
a turn signal bulb is burned out. Check the front
and rear turn signal lights regularly to make sure they are w\
orking.
Operation of Lighting System
Although your vehicle’s lighting system (headlamps, parking lamps, fog
lamps, side marker lamps and taillamps) meets all applicable federal
lighting requirements, certain states and provinces may apply their own
lighting regulations that may require special attention before you operate
these lamps.
For example, some jurisdictions may require that you operate your fog
lamps only when your lower beam headlamps are also on,
or that headlamps
be turned on whenever you must use your windshield wipers. In \
addition,
most jurisdictions prohibit driving solely with parking lamps, especially at
dawn or dusk. It is recommended that you check with your own state or
provincial highway authority for applicable lighting regulations.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine For a single wiping cycle, turn the band to MIST. Hold it there until the
wipers start, then let
go. The wipers will stop after one wipe. If you want
more wipes, hold the band on MIST longer.
You can set the wiper speed for a long or short delay between wipes.
This
can be very useful in light rain or snow. Turn the band to choose the delay
time. The closer to
LO, the shorter the delay.
For steady wiping at low speed, turn the band away from you to the
LO
position. For high speed wiping, turn the band further, to HI. To stop the
wipers
, move the band to the off symbol.
Remember that worn or damaged wiper blades may prevent you from
seeing well enough to drive safely. To avoid damage, be sure to clear ice
and snow from the wiper blades before using them. If they’re frozen to the
windshield, carefully loosen or thaw them.
If your blades do become worn
or damaged, get new blades or blade inserts.
Heavy snow or ice can overload your wipers. The windshield wiper motor is
protected
from overload by a circuit breaker and a fuse. If the motor
overheats due to heavy snow, etc., the wiper
will stop until the motor cools.
Although the circuit is protected from electrical overload, overload due to
heavy snow, etc. may cause wiper linkage damage. Always clear ice and
heavy snow from the windshield before using your windshield wipers.
Windshield Washer
At the top of the
multifunction lever
there’s a paddle
marked with the
windshield washer
symbol and PUSH. To
spray washer fluid on
the windshield, push
the paddle.
The wipers will clear the window and then either stop or return to your
preset speed.
Driving without washer fluid can be dangerous. A bad mud splash can block
your vision. You could hit another vehicle or go
off the road. Check your
washer fluid level often.
