 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, airflow can pull ex\
haust 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 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 mono\
xide 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 BeltsAll 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 mod\
erate 
to severe frontal collision, sometimes even if the collision is not seve\
re enough to 
inflate the front airbags.
 Proper Use of Seat BeltsFollow 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 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 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.
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.
