DISCLOSURES
Event Data RecordersThis 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, such as an air 
bag deployment or hitting a road obstacle, data that will assist in understanding 
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, typicall\
y
30 seconds or less. The EDR in this vehicle is designed to record such d\
ata 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 under 
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.
To read data recorded by an EDR, special equipment is required, and access 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 
information if they have access to the vehicle or the EDR.
The data belong to the vehicle owner and may not be accessed by anyone else 
except as legally required or with the permission of the vehicle owner.
Service Diagnostic Recorders
This vehicle is equipped with service-related devices that record information 
about powertrain performance. The data can be used to verify emissions law 
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.

AFETYSAFETY
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.
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 five 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 rear 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 reduce 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.
• 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.
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 of\
f-
highway driving. It allows you to travel over bumps, obstacles, and rough terrain. 
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 gravity making it more susceptible to 
tripping or rollover 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 seat belt. As a 
reminder, make sure you and your passengers always wear seat belts.
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
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.

Vehicle Stability Assist (VSA®), aka Electronic Stability Control
(ESC) System
Helps to stabilize the vehicle during cornering if the vehicle turns more or less 
than what was intended. It assists in maintaining traction on slippery surfaces by 
regulating engine output and selectively applying the brakes.
Turning VSA On or Off
VSA is turned on every time you start the engine,
even if you previously turned it off. If you turn 
VSA off, your vehicle has normal braking and 
cornering ability, but not VSA traction and stability
