Never hold a baby in your arms while riding in a vehicle. A baby
doesn’t weigh much-until a crash. During a crash a baby wil\
l
become
so heavy you can’t hold it. For example, in a crash at only
25 mph (40 kmlh), a 12-pound (5.5 kg) baby will suddenly become a
240-pound
(11 0 kg) force on your arms. The baby would be almost
impossible
to hold.
Secure the baby in an infant restraint.

Be sure to follow the instructions for the restraint. You may find these
instructions on the restraint itself
or in a booklet, or both. These restraints
use the belt system in your vehicle, but the child also has
to be secured
within the restraint
to help reduce the chance of personal injury. The
instructions that come with the infant
or child restraint will show you how to
do that.
The child restraint must be secured properly in the center (e\
xcept 60/40 bench seat) or right front passenger seat.
If you have a 60/40 split-bench
seat, you must use the right front passenger seat.
I CAUTION
A
An unsecured child restraint can move around in a collision or
sudden stop and injure people in the vehicle. Be sure to properly
secure any child restraint in your vehicle-even when no child is in
it.

Top Strap

AN155001
If your child restraint has a top strap, it should be anchored. If you need to
have an anchor installed, you can ask your
GM dealer to put it in for you. If
you want to install an anchor yourself, your dealer can tell you how to do it.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Remember: The rear wheel antilock braking system (RWAL) helps \
avoid only
a rear braking skid. In a braking skid (where the front wheels \
are no longer
rolling), release enough pressure on the brakes to get the front wheels rolling
again. This restores steering control. Push the brake pedal dow\
n steadily
when you have to stop suddenly. As long as the front wheels \
are rolling, you
will have steering control. Steer the way you want to go.

Off-road driving can be great fun. But it does have some definite hazards.
The greatest of these is the terrain itself.
“Off-roading” means you’ve left the great North American\
road system behind.

Surfaces can be slippery, rough, uphill or downhill. In short, \
you’ve gone right
back to nature.
Off-road driving involves some new skills. And that’s why it’s very important
that you read this guide. You’ll find many driving tips and suggestio\

Before You Go Off-Roading
There are some things to do before you go outi For example, be sure to
have all necessary maintenance and service work done. Be sure \

enough fuel?
Is the spare tire fully inflated? Are the fluid levels up where
they should be? What are the local laws that apply to off-roading where you’ll
be driving?
If you don’t know, you should check with law enforcement people\

in the area. Will you be on someone’s private land?
If so, be sure to get the
necessary permission.
