Event Data Recorders
This vehicle is equipped with an event data recorder (EDR). The main purpose of an EDR is to record, in certain crash or near crash-like situations, suc\
h as an airbag deployment or hitting a road obstacle, data that will assist in understa\
nding how a vehicle’s systems performed. The EDR is designed to record data related to vehicle dynamics and safety systems for a short period of time, typically 30 sec\
onds or less.
The EDR in this vehicle is designed to record such data as:
•
How various systems in your vehicle were operating;
•
Whether or not the driver and passenger safety belts were buckled/fasten\
ed;
•
How far (if at all) the driver was depressing the accelerator and/or b\
rake pedal;
and,
•
How fast the vehicle was traveling.
These data can help provide a better understanding of the circumstances \
in which crashes and injuries occur. NOTE: EDR data are recorded by your vehicle only if a non-trivial crash situation occurs; no data are recorded by the EDR unde\
r normal
driving conditions and no personal data (e.g., name, gender, age, and crash location)
are recorded. However, other parties, such as law enforcement, could combine the EDR data with the type of personally identifying data routinely acquired\
during a
crash investigation.
T

o read data recorded by an EDR, special equipment is required, and acces\
s to the
vehicle or the EDR is needed. In addition to the vehicle manufacturer, other parties
such as law enforcement that have the special equipment can read the inf\
ormation if they have access to the vehicle or the EDR. The data belong to the ve\
hicle owner
and may not be accessed by anyone else except as legally required or wit\
h the permission of the vehicle owner.
n
Service Diagnostic Recorders
This vehicle is equipped with service-related devices that record inform\
ation about powertrain performance. The data can be used to verify emissions l\
aw requirements and/or help technicians diagnose and solve service problems\
. It may
also be combined with data from other sources for research purposes, but\
it remains confidential.

SAFETY INFORMATION
Your safety—and the safety of others—is very important and operatin\
g this vehicle
safely is an important responsibility. While we strive to help you make informed
decisions about safety, it is not practical or possible to warn you about all the hazards
associated with operating or maintaining your vehicle. Therefore, you mu\
st use your own good judgment.
Important Safety Information
This guide explains many of your vehicle’s safety features and how to use them. Please read this information carefully. Following the instructions below will also help to keep
you and your passengers safe.
n
Important Safety Precautions •
Always wear your seat belt.
•
Secure all children in the proper restraint system.
•
Be aware of airbag hazards.
•
Don’t drink and drive.
•
Pay appropriate attention to the task of driving safely.
•
Control your speed.
•
Keep your vehicle in safe condition.
Engaging in cell phone conversation or other activities that keep you fr\
om paying
close attention to the road, other vehicles, and pedestrians could lead \
to a crash. Remember, situations can change quickly, and only you can decide when it is safe to
divert some attention away from driving.
n
Important Handling Information
Your vehicle has higher ground clearance than a passenger vehicle designe\
d for use only on pavement. Higher ground clearance has many advantages for off-hi\
ghway
driving. It allows you to travel over bumps, obstacles, and rough terrai\
n. It also provides good visibility so you can anticipate problems earlier.
These advantages come at some cost. Because your vehicle is taller and rides higher off the ground, it has a higher center of gravity making it more \
su

sceptible
to tipping or roll over if you make abrupt turns. Utility vehicles have \
a significantly
higher rollover rate than other types of vehicles. In a rollover crash, \
an unbelted
person is significantly more likely to die than a person wearing a sea\
t belt. As a reminder, make sure you and your passengers always wear seat belts.
Follow these steps to access the voice-recognition system.

n Safety Messages
When you see the following messages throughout this guide, pay close att\
ention.
DANGERYou WILL be KILLED or SERIOUSLY HURT if you don’t follow instructions.
WARNINGYou CAN be KILLED or SERIOUSLY HURT if you don’t follow instructions.
CAUTIONYou CAN be HURT if you don’t follow instructions.
NOTICE This information is intended to help you avoid damage to your
vehicle, other property, or the environment.
n
Carbon Monoxide Gas
The engine exhaust from this vehicle contains carbon monoxide, a colorle\
ss, odorless, and highly toxic gas. As long as you properly maintain your ve\
hicle and follow the instructions set forth below, you will not accumulate dangerous levels of
carbon monoxide gas in the vehicle interior.
Have the exhaust system inspected for leaks whenever: •
The exhaust system is making an unusual noise.
•
The exhaust system may have been damaged.
•
The vehicle is raised for an oil change.
When you operate a vehicle with the tailgate open, airfl ow can pull e\
xhaust gas
into the interior and create a hazardous condition. If you must drive wi\
th the tailgate
open, open all the windows and set the climate control system as shown b\
elow.
1.
Select the fresh air mode.
2.
Select the mode.
3.
Set the fan speed to high.
4.
Set the temperature control to a comfortable setting.
Adjust the climate control system in the same manner if you sit in your \
parked vehicle with the engine running.
WARNING
Carbon monoxide gas is toxic. Breathing it can cause unconsciousness
and even kill you. Avoid any enclosed areas or activities that expose you
to carbon monoxide.
An enclosed area such as a garage can quickly fi ll up with carbon mon\
oxide gas. Do not run the engine with the garage door closed. Even when the garage \
door is
open, drive out of the garage immediately after starting the engine.
Seat Belts
A seat belt is your best protection in all types of collisions. Airbags \
are designed to
supplement seat belts, not replace them. So even though your vehicle is \
equipped with
airbags, make sure you and your passengers always wear your seat belts and wear
them properly.
n
Lap/Shoulder Seat Belts
All seven or eight seating positions are equipped with lap/shoulder seat\
belts with
emergency locking retractors. In normal driving, the retractor lets you \
move freely while keeping some tension on the belt. During a collision or sudden sto\
p, the retractor locks to restrain your body. The second- and third-row passenger’

s seat
belts also have a lockable retractor for use with child seats.
The front seats are equipped with automatic seat belt tensioners to enha\
nce safety.
The tensioners automatically tighten the front seat belts during a moder\
ate to severe
frontal collision, sometimes even if the collision is not severe enough \
to inflate the
front airbags.
n
Proper Use of Seat Belts
Follow these guidelines for proper use: •
All occupants should sit upright, well back in the seat, and remain in t\
hat position for the duration of the trip. Slouching and leaning reduces the effectiv\
eness of
the belt and can increase the chance of serious injury in a crash.
•
Never place the shoulder part of a lap/shoulder seat belt under your arm\
or
behind your back. This could cause very serious injuries in a crash.
•
Two people should never use the same seat belt. If they do, they could be\
very
seriously injured in a crash.
•
Do not put any accessories on the seat belts. Devices intended to improv\
e
comfort or reposition the shoulder part of a seat belt can reduce the pr\
otective
capability and increase the chance of serious injury in a crash.
•
Regularly check the condition of your seat belts. Check for frays, cuts,\
burns, and
wear, and that the latches work smoothly and the belts retract easily.
•
No one should sit in a seat with an inoperative seat belt or one that do\
es not appear to be working correctly. Using a seat belt that is not working properly
may not protect the occupant in a crash. Have a dealer check the belt as\
soon as
possible.
WARNING
Not wearing a seat belt properly increases the chance of a serious injur\
y
or death in a crash, even though your vehicle has airbags.
Be sure you and your passengers always wear seat belts and wear them
properly.

AFETY
n Important Facts About Your Airbags
Always wear your seat belt properly, and sit upright and as far back from the
steering wheel as possible while allowing full control of the vehicle. A\
front
passenger should move their seat as far back from the dashboard as possi\
ble.
Do not place hard or sharp objects between yourself and a front airbag. Carrying
hard or sharp objects on your lap, or driving with a pipe or other sharp\
o
bject in your
mouth, can result in injuries if your front airbag inflates.
Do not attach or place objects on the front airbag covers. Objects on the covers
marked SRS AIRBAG could interfere with the proper operation of the airba\
gs or be
propelled inside the vehicle and hurt someone if the airbags inflate.
Do not attach accessories on or near the side airbags. They can interfere with the
proper operation of the airbags, or hurt someone if an airbag infl ate\
s.
Do not attach any objects to the side windows or roof pillars. They can interfere
with the proper operation of the side curtain airbags.
Do not cover or replace the front seat-back covers. This can prevent your side
airbags from properly deploying during a side impact.
WARNING
An open glove box can cause serious injury to your passenger in a crash,\

even if the passenger is wearing the seat belt.
Always keep the glove box closed while driving.
n Airbag System Indicators
If a problem occurs in the airbag system, the SRS indicator comes on and\
a message
appears on the multi-information display.
SRS (Supplemental Restraint System) indicator
If the indicator comes on at any other time besides
vehicle start-up, or does not come on at all, have the
system checked by a dealer as soon as possible. If
you don’t, your airbags and seat belt tensioners may
not work properly when they are needed.
WARNING
Ignoring the SRS indicator can result in serious injury or death if the \
airbag systems or tensioners do not work properly.
Have your vehicle checked by a dealer as soon as possible if the SRS
indicator alerts you to a possible problem.
Airbag System Indicators
The indicator comes on to alert you that the front
passenger’s front airbag has been turned off.
This occurs when the front passenger’s weight
sensors detect 65 lbs (29 kg) or less, the weight of an
infant or small child, on the seat.
U.S. Canada
Infants and small children should always ride properly restrained in a b\
ack seat.
Objects placed on the seat can also cause the indicator to come on.
If the front passenger‘s seat is empty, the passenger’s front airbag will not deploy
and the indicator will not come on.
If the indicator comes on with no occupant or objects in the front passe\
nger’s seat,
something may be interfering with the weight sensors, such as:
•
An object hanging on the seat or in the seat-back pocket.
•
A child seat or other object pressing against the rear of the seat-back.\
•
A rear passenger pushing or pulling on the back of the front passenger’\
s seat.
•
The front seat or seat-back is forced against an object on the seat or fl\
oor
behind it.
•
An object placed under the front passenger’s seat.
If none of these conditions exist, have your vehicle checked by a dealer\
as soon as
possible.
The passenger airbag off indicator may go on and off repeatedly if the t\
otal weight
on the seat is near the airbag cutoff threshold.

SAFETY

S
AFETY
n Protecting Larger Children
When a child is too big for a child seat, secure the child in a rear sea\
t using the lap/
shoulder seat belt.
Have the child sit upright and all the way back, then ensure the followi\
ng:
•
The child’s knees bend comfortably over the edge
of the seat.
•
The shoulder belt crosses between the child’s
neck and arm.
•
The lap part of the seat belt is as low as possible,
touching the child’s thighs.
•
The child can stay seated for the whole trip.
If a lap/shoulder belt cannot be used properly, position the child in a booster seat in
a rear seating position. For the child’s safety, check that the child meets the booster
seat manufacturer’s recommendations.
Some U.S. states and Canadian provinces/territories require children to \
use a
booster seat until they reach a given age or weight (e.g., 6 years or 6\
0 lbs). Be sure
to check current laws in the state or province/territory where you inten\
d to drive.
WARNING
Allowing a child age 12 or under to sit in the front can result in injur\
y or
death if the passenger’s front airbag inflates.
If a larger child must ride in front, move the vehicle seat as far to th\
e rear
as possible, then have the child sit up properly and wear the seat belt \
properly, using a booster seat if needed.
Safety Label Locations
Safety labels are in the locations shown. They warn you of potential haz\
ards that can
cause serious injury or death. Read these labels carefully.To reduce the number of child
deaths and injuries, every state, Canadian province and territory requir\
es that infants
and children be properly restrained when they ride in a vehicle.
