WARNING!
Do not use the cargo tie downs located on
the load floor. Improper usage of the tether
can lead to a failure of an infant or child
restraint. The child could be badly injured or
killed.
Many, but not all, restraint systems will be
equipped with separate straps on each side,
with each having a hook or connector for attach-
ment to the lower anchorage and a means of
adjusting the tension in the strap. Forward-
facing toddler restraints and some rear-facing
infant restraints will also be equipped with a
tether strap, a hook for attachment to the tether
strap anchorage and a means of adjusting the
tension of the strap.
First, loosen the child seat adjusters on the
lower straps and on the tether strap so that you
can more easily attach the hooks or connectors
to the vehicle anchorages. Next, attach the
lower hooks or connectors over the top of the
anchorage bars, pushing aside the seat cover material. Then, locate the tether anchorage
directly behind the seat where you are placing
the child restraint and attach the tether strap to
the anchorage, being careful to route the tether
strap to provide the most direct path between
the anchor and the child restraint.
There are
two top tether anchorages located on the
back of the seat, behind the gap panel. They
are not visible until you fold the gap panel
down. Do not use the cargo tie down hooks
located on the floor behind the seat. Finally,
tighten both straps as you push the child re-
straint rearward and downward into the seat,
removing slack in the straps according to the
child restraint manufacturer’s instructions.
WARNING!
Improper installation of a child restraint to the
ISOFIX anchorages can lead to failure of an
infant or child restraint. The child could be
badly injured or killed. Follow the manufac-
turer’s directions exactly when installing an
infant or child restraint. Installing Child Restraints Using The
Vehicle Seat Belts
The seat belts in the passenger seating positions
are equipped with an Automatic Locking Retractor
(ALR to secure a Child Restraint System (CRS).
These types of seat belts are designed to keep the
lap portion of the seat belt tight around the child
restraint so that it is not necessary to use a locking
clip. The ALR will make a ratcheting noise if you
extract the entire belt from the retractor and then
allow the belt to retract into the retractor. For
additional information on ALR, refer to “Automatic
Locking Mode” description under “Seat Belts in
Passenger Seating Positions” section. The chart
below defines the seating positions with an Auto-
matic Locking Retractor (ALR) or a cinching latch
plate.

ENGINE BREAK-IN
RECOMMENDATIONS
A long break-in period is not required for the
engine and drivetrain (transmission and axle) in
your vehicle.
Drive moderately during the first 300 miles
(500 km). After the initial 60 miles (100 km),
speeds up to 50 or 55 mph (80 or 90 km/h) are
desirable.
While cruising, brief full-throttle acceleration
within the limits of local traffic laws contributes
to a good break-in. Wide-open throttle accelera-
tion in low gear can be detrimental and should
be avoided.
The engine oil installed in the engine at the
factory is a high-quality energy conserving type
lubricant. Oil changes should be consistent with
anticipated climate conditions under which ve-
hicle operations will occur. For the recom-
mended viscosity and quality grades, refer to
“Maintenance Procedures” in “Maintaining Your
Vehicle”.
CAUTION!
Never use Non-Detergent Oil or Straight
Mineral Oil in the engine or damage may
result.
NOTE:
A new engine may consume some oil during
its first few thousand miles (kilometers) of
operation. This should be considered a nor-
mal part of the break-in and not interpreted
as an indication of difficulty.
Additional Requirements For Diesel
Engine — If Equipped
During the first 1500 km avoid heavy loads, e.g.
driving at full throttle. Do not exceed 2/3 of the
maximum permissible engine speed for each
gear. Change gear in good time. Do not shift
down a gear manually in order to brake.
SAFETY TIPS
Transporting PassengersNEVER TRANSPORT PASSENGERS IN THE
CARGO AREA.
WARNING!
• Do not leave children or animals inside
parked vehicles in hot weather. Interior
heat build-up may cause serious injury or
death.
• It is extremely dangerous to ride in a cargo
area, inside or outside of a vehicle. In a
collision, people riding in these areas are
more likely to be seriously injured or killed.
• Do not allow people to ride in any area of
your vehicle that is not equipped with seats
and seat belts.
• Be sure everyone in your vehicle is in a
seat and using a seat belt properly.

Exhaust Gas
WARNING!
Exhaust gases can injure or kill. They contain
carbon monoxide (CO), which is colorless and
odorless. Breathing it can make you uncon-
scious and can eventually poison you. To avoid
breathing (CO), follow these safety tips:
•Do not run the engine in a closed garage
or in confined areas any longer than
needed to move your vehicle in or out of
the area.
•
If you are required to drive with the trunk/
liftgate open, make sure that all windows are
closed and the climate control BLOWER
switch is set at high speed. DO NOT use the
recirculation mode.
• If it is necessary to sit in a parked vehicle
with the engine running, adjust your heat-
ing or cooling controls to force outside air
into the vehicle. Set the blower at high
speed. The best protection against carbon monoxide
entry into the vehicle body is a properly main-
tained engine exhaust system.
Whenever a change is noticed in the sound of
the exhaust system, when exhaust fumes can
be detected inside the vehicle, or when the
underside or rear of the vehicle is damaged,
have a competent mechanic inspect the com-
plete exhaust system and adjacent body areas
for broken, damaged, deteriorated, or misposi-
tioned parts. Open seams or loose connections
could permit exhaust fumes to seep into the
passenger compartment. In addition, inspect
the exhaust system each time the vehicle is
raised for lubrication or oil change. Replace as
required.
Safety Checks You Should Make
Inside The Vehicle
Seat Belts
Inspect the belt system periodically, checking
for cuts, frays, and loose parts. Damaged parts
must be replaced immediately. Do not disas-
semble or modify the system. Front seat belt assemblies must be replaced
after a collision. Rear seat belt assemblies must
be replaced after a collision if they have been
damaged (i.e., bent retractor, torn webbing,
etc.). If there is any question regarding belt or
retractor condition, replace the belt.
Air Bag Warning Light
The light should come on and re-
main on for four to eight seconds
as a bulb check when the ignition
switch is first turned ON. If the light
is not lit during starting, see your
authorized dealer. If the light stays
on, flickers, or comes on while driving, have the
system checked by an authorized dealer.
Defroster
Check operation by selecting the defrost mode
and place the blower control on high speed. You
should be able to feel the air directed against
the windshield. See your authorized dealer for
service if your defroster is inoperable.
