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 must 
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.
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 from 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.
Safety Messages
When you see the following messages throughout this guide, pay close att\
ention.
You WILL be KILLED or SERIOUSLY HURT if you don’t follow    
instructions.
You CAN be KILLED or SERIOUSLY HURT if you don’t follow    
instructions.

SAFETYSAFETY
Carbon Monoxide Gas
The engine exhaust from this vehicle contains carbon monoxide, a colorless, 
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, airflow can pull ex\
haust gas
into the interior and create a hazardous condition. If you must drive with the 
tailgate open, open all the windows and set the climate control system a\
s shown
below.
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.
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.
WARNING
An enclosed area such as a garage can quickly fill up with carbon monoxide 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.
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 stop, 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 enhance 
safety. The tensioners automatically tighten the front seat belts during a moderate 
to severe frontal collision, sometimes even if the collision is not seve\
re enough to
inflate the front airbags.
Proper Use of Seat Belts Follow these guidelines for proper use:
• 
All occupants should sit upright, well back in the seat, and remain in that 
position for the duration of the trip. Slouching and leaning reduces the\

effectiveness 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 improve 
comfort or reposition the shoulder part of a seat belt can reduce the protective 
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 does 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.
Not wearing a seat belt properly increases the chance of a serious injury 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.

DOT Tire Quality Grading
The tires on your vehicle meet all U.S. Federal Safety Requirements. All tires are 
also graded for treadwear, traction, and temperature performance according
to Department of Transportation (DOT) standards. The following explains these 
gradings.
Uniform Tire Quality Grading
Quality grades can be found where applicable on the tire sidewall between tread 
shoulder and maximum section width.
For example:
Treadwear 200
Traction AA
Temperature A
All passenger car tires must conform to Federal Safety Requirements in 
addition to these grades.
Treadwear
The treadwear grade is a comparative rating based on the wear rate of the tire 
when tested under controlled conditions on a specified government test\
course.
For example, a tire graded 150 would wear one and one-half (1 1/2) times as well 
on the government course as a tire graded 100. The relative performance \
of
tires depends upon the actual conditions of their use, however, and may depart
significantly from the norm due to variations in driving habits, service practices, 
and differences in road characteristics and climate.
TractionThe traction grades, from highest to lowest, are AA, A, B, and C. Those \
grades
represent the tire’s ability to stop on wet pavement as measured under controlled 
conditions on specified government test surfaces of asphalt and concre\
te. A tire
marked C may have poor traction performance.
WARNING:
 The traction grade assigned to this tire is based on straight-ahead 
braking traction tests, and does not include acceleration, cornering, hydroplaning, 
or peak traction characteristics.
