AM110001
This figure lights up when you turn the key to RUN or START when your
safety belt isn’t buckled, and you’ll hear a chime, too. \
It’s the reminder to
buckle up. In many states and Canadian provinces, the law says
to wear
safety belts. Here’s why:
They work.
You never know if you’ll be in a crash. If you do have a crash, you don’t
know
if it will be a bad one.
A few crashes are very mild. In them, you won’t get hurt even
if you’re not
buckled up. And some crashes can be
so serious, like being hit by a train,
that even buckled up a person wouldn’t survive. But most cr\
ashes are in
between. In many of them, people who buckle up can survive and sometimes
walk away. Without belts they could be badly hurt or killed.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Q: If I’m a good driver, and I never drive far from home, why should I
wear safety belts?
A: You may he an excellent driver, but if you’re in an accident - even one
that isn’t your fault
- you and your passengers can be hurt. Being a good
driver doesn’t protect you from things beyond your control, \
such as bad
drivers.
Most accidents occur within
25 miles (40 km) of home. And the greatest
number of serious injuries and deaths occur at speeds of less than
40 mph
(65 km/h).
Safety belts are for everyone.
Safety Belt Reminder Light
. .. .. -
KO286
When the key is turned to RUN or START, a light will come on for about
eight seconds to remind people to fasten their safety belts. Unless the driver’s
safety belt
is buckled, a chime will also sound.

Vehicle theft is a big business, especially in some cities. Although your
vehicle has a number of theft deterrent features, we know that nothing we
put on
it can make it impossible to steal. However, there are ways you can
help.
Key in the Ignition:
If you walk away from your vehicle with the keys inside,
it’s an easy target for joy riders or professional thieves-s\
o don’t
do it. when^
you park your vehicle and open the driver’s door, you’ll \
hear a tone reminding
you to remove your key from the ignition and take it with you. Always
do
this. Your steering wheel will be locked, and so will your ignition. If you have
an automatic transmission, taking your key out also locks your \
transmission.
And remember to lock the doors.
Parking at Night: Park in a lighted spot, close all windows and lock your
vehicle. Remember to keep your valuables out of sight. Put them in a storage
area, or take them with you.
Parking Lots:
If you park in a lot where someone will be watching your
vehicle, it’s best to lock it up and take your keys. But what
if you have to
leave your ignition key? What
if you have to leave somethina valuable in vour
vehicle?
Put your valuables in a storage area, like your glove DOX.
Lock the glove box.
Lock all doors except the driver’s.
Then take the door key with you.

If you have a manual transmission, you have a SHIFT light. This light will
show you when
to shift to the next higher gear for best fuel economy.
When this light comes on,
you can "shift to the n-ext higher gear if weather,
road and traffic conditions let you. For the best fuel economy, accelerate
slowly and shift when the light comes on.
While you .accelerate, it
is normal for the light to go on and off if you quickly
change the position
of the accelerator. Ignore the SHIFT light when you
downshift.
For Four-wheel Drive Vehicles
Only: If your vehicle has four-wheel drive
and is equipped with a manual transmission, disregard the shift\
light when the
transfer case is in
4 LOW.
Shift Speeds-Manual Transmissions
If your speed drops below 20 mph (32 km/h), or if the engine is not running
smoothly, you should downshift
to the next lower gear. You may have to
downshift two or more gears to keep the engine running smoothly or for good
performance.

If you skip more than one gear when you downshift, you could lose
control of your vehicle. And you could injure yourself or others.
NOTICE
Locking Rear Axle
If you have this feature, your rear axle can give you additio\
nal traction on
snow, mud, ice, sand or gravel. It works like a standard axle\
most of the
time, but one of the rear wheels has no traction and the other does, the
locking feature will allow the wheel with traction to move the vehicle.
Parking Brake

To set the parking brake:
Hold the regular brake pedal down with your right foot. Push \
down the
parking brake pedal with your left foot.
If the ignition is on, the brake system

Manual Transfer Case
I
PO1 63
The transfer case shift lever is on the floor to the right of the driver. Use this
lever
to shift into and out of four-wheel drive. An indicator light near the lever
shows you the transfer case settings:
2 WHEEL
4 HIGH
N SET PARKING BRAKE
4 LOW
The front axle portion
of the diagram on the indicator will light up when you
shift into four-wheel drive. A slight delay between shifting and the patte\
rn's
lighting is normal.
If the pattern does not light up, or if the front axle does
not go out after you shift out
of four-wheel drive, have your dealer check
your system. Turn the dial above your headlight switch
to the left to dim your
transfer case indicator light when your headlights or parking l\
ights are on.
2 WHEEL: This setting is for driving in most street and highway situations.
Your front axle is not engaged in two-wheel drive.
4 HIGH: This setting engages your front axle to help drive your vehicle.
Use
4 HIGH when you need extra traction, such as on snowy or icy roads, \
or in most off-road situations.
N SET PARKING BRAKE: Shift to this neutral setting only when your vehicle
needs
to be towed.
