52 Seats and Restraints
Warning (Continued)
shoulder belt can be worn, a
seating position with a shoulder
belt should be chosen whenever
possible.
Any unrestrained child could be
injured by striking the vehicle's
interior or by ejection from the
vehicle during an accident or
driving maneuver. Never allow a
child to be held by another
occupant instead of being
properly restrained. If not properly
restrained, the child could strike
the vehicle interior or be crushed
by the person holding the child,
or by other occupants.
Be sure to follow all installation and
use instructions that come with any
child restraint system.
Child restraint systems are designed
to be secured in vehicle seats either
by the lap belt, or the lap portion of
the lap-shoulder belt at that seating
position. The child must also be
secured within the restraint by the means provided by the child
restraint manufacturer. If the child or
the child restraint is not properly
secured, the child risks personal
injury in the event of a collision.
Using a Lap Belt That Has No
Retractor
When securing a child restraint with
the center seat lap belt, pull the
excess webbing through the belt's
adjustment feature, then take these
steps:
.
Once installed, push and pull the
child restraint in all directions to
be sure it is secure. If it comes
loose, flip the end of the belt
with the adjustment feature over
before rebuckling.
. If the child restraint is still not
secure, use the outboard seating
position in the vehicle and
contact your dealer and the child
restraint manufacturer for help.
. Secure the child in the restraint
in accordance with the child
restraint manufacturer's
instructions.
Installation on Outboard Seat
A seat belt locking clip is required
for installation of a child restraint
system on the outboard seat of this
vehicle. A locking clip may usually
be obtained where child restraints
are sold, or by contacting your
dealer for assistance. Make sure the
locking clip is identical to the one
shown on this page. Until you have
the clip, use the child restraint
system only in the center seat.

{Warning
To help avoid personal injury or
death during a collision or sudden
maneuver, always thread both the
lap and shoulder belt through the
locking clip when securing a child
restraint on the outboard seat.
If the clip is not used or installed
properly, the child restraint may
move or tip over when your
vehicle turns or stops abruptly.
Secure the child restraint with the
lap belt portion (1) of the seat belt in
accordance with the restraintmanufacturer's instructions. Then
thread both the lap (1) and shoulder
belt (2) portions through the locking
clip. Push and pull the child restraint
in all directions to be sure it is
secure.

child restraint that requires the
use of a top strap. There is no
appropriate place to attach a top
strap anchor behind the seat in
this vehicle.

Information on
Loading the Vehicle
Overloading
{Warning
Overloading can result in loss of
vehicle control and personal
injury or death, either by causing
component failures or by affecting
vehicle handling. It can also
shorten the service life of your
vehicle.
The components of your truck are
designed to provide satisfactory
service if the vehicle is not loaded in
excess of either the gross vehicle
weight rating (GVWR) or the
maximum front and rear gross axle
weight ratings (GAWRs). These
ratings are listed on the vehicle
identification number (VIN) plate,
which is located on the left side rear
pillar panel below the striker (single
cab) or on the left center pillar panel
beside the shoulder seat belt anchor
(crew cab). Gross vehicle weight (GVW) is the
weight of the originally equipped
vehicle and all items added to it
after it has left the factory. This
would include bodies, liftgates,
refrigeration systems, etc., winches,
booms, etc., the driver and all
occupants, and the load the vehicle
is carrying. The GVW must not
exceed the GVWR. Also, gross
weight on each of the front and rear
axles must not exceed the front and
rear GAWRs respectively.
Your dealer can advise you of the
proper loading conditions for your
vehicle. Using selected heavier
suspension components for added
durability may not increase any of
the weight ratings shown on the VIN
and weight rating plate.

{Warning
If the engine coolant temperature
gauge shows an overheat
condition or you have any other
reason to suspect the engine may
be overheating, continued
operation of the engine, even for
a short time, may result in a fire
and the risk of personal injury and
severe vehicle damage. Take
immediate action as outlined in
Engine Overheating. See Engine
Overheating 0237.
Caution
If the needle goes up above the
upper limit and enters the H zone,
the engine is likely to overheat.

Lamp (Check Engine
Light)
This light should come on to show
that it is working when the engine
control switch is turned to the ON
position, and then should go out
after the engine is started.
If this light stays on or comes on
while the engine is running, it
indicates a malfunction with the

soon as possible. Continued driving
without having the system serviced
could cause damage to the
emission control system. It could
also affect fuel economy and
drivability.Service Vehicle Soon

when the engine control switch is
turned to the ON position, and then

operation of the vehicle, it means
that there is something wrong with
part of the brake system.The brake system warning light
comes on while the engine is
running (after startup) in the
following situations:
.
Drop in the level of brake fluid
(due to brake lining wear or fluid
leakage).
. Abnormality in the charging
system (such as an alternator
malfunction or loose or split
fan belt).
. Abnormality in the anti-lock
brake system (ABS) and
Electronic Braking force
Distribution (EBD) functions.
(The ABS warning light and
brake system warning light will
illuminate at the same time.) See
Antilock Brake System (ABS)
Warning Light 077.
To serve as a reminder, the light
should stay on when the parking
brake is not fully released, and the
engine control switch is on. Have
the system repaired if the light does
not come on when it should. If this
warning light does not go away,
brake inspection and maintenance
should be performed.
Check and Corrective Action
1. Check to see that the parking brake has been fully released.
If it has, check the following:
2. Turn on the exhaust brake to help slow the vehicle.
3. Pull off the road and stop carefully. Remember that
stopping distances may be
longer, the pedal may be
harder to push, and the pedal
may go down farther than
normal.
4. Check the brake fluid reservoir on the left side of the
instrument panel. If low, add
fluid as needed.
5. If the brake fluid is not low: Try out the brakes by starting and
stopping on the shoulder of the
road, then either drive
cautiously at a safe speed to
the nearest dealer for repair,
if you judge driving to be safe;
or have the vehicle towed to
the nearest dealer for repair.

will provide some braking if there is
a loss of hydraulic pressure in the
other part of the system.
{Warning
If this warning light comes on
while the engine is running,
immediately stop the vehicle at a
safe place well clear of traffic and
