2. Route the tether strap to provide the most
direct path for the strap between the an-
chor and the child seat. If your vehicle is
equipped with adjustable rear head re-
straints, raise the head restraint, and
where possible, route the tether strap un-
der the head restraint and between the
two posts. If not possible, lower the head
restraint and pass the tether strap around
the outboard side of the head restraint.
3. Attach the tether strap hook of the child
restraint to the top tether anchorage as
shown in the diagram.
4. Remove slack in the tether strap accord-
ing to the child restraint manufacturer’s
instructions.
WARNING!
• An incorrectly anchored tether strap
could lead to increased head motion
and possible injury to the child. Use
only the anchorage position directly be-
hind the child seat to secure a child
restraint top tether strap.
WARNING!
• If your vehicle is equipped with a split
rear seat, make sure the tether strap
does not slip into the opening between
the seatbacks as you remove slack in
the strap.
WARNING!
The child restraint owner’s manual pro-
vides instructions for installing the child
restraint using the seat belt. Read and
follow these instructions to install the
child seat properly.
Suitability of Passenger Seats for I-Size
Child Restraint System Use
The rear outboard seats of the vehicle are
type-approved to house the state-of-the-art
i-Size child restraint systems.
These child restraint systems, built and type-
approved according to the i-Size (ECE R129)
standard, ensure better safety conditions to
carry children on board a vehicle:• The child must be transported rearward
facing until 15 months:
• Child restraint system protection is in-
creased in the event of a side collision:
• The use of the ISOFIX system is promoted
to avoid faulty installation of the child re-
straint system:
• Efficiency in the choice of the child re-
straint system, which isn't made according
to weight anymore but according to the
child's height, is increased:
• Compatibility between the vehicle seats
and the child restraint systems is better:
the i- Size child restraint systems can be
considered as "Super ISOFIX"; this means
that they can be perfectly fitted in type-
approved i-Size seats, but can also be fitted
in ISOFIX (ECE R44) type-approved seats.
NOTE:
The vehicle seats, i-Size type-approved, are
marked by the symbol shown in fig. XX.

For automatic transmissions, the EPB will
automatically engage if all of the following
conditions are met:
• Vehicle speed is below 1.9 mph (3 km/h).
• There is no attempt to depress the brake
pedal or accelerator pedal.
• The seat belt is unbuckled.
• The driver door is open.
• The vehicle is not in the PARK position.
For manual transmissions, the EPB will auto-
matically engage if all of the following condi-
tions are met:
• Vehicle speed is below 1.9 mph (3 km/h).
• There is no attempt to depress the brake
pedal or accelerator pedal.
• The clutch pedal is not pressed.
• The seat belt is unbuckled.
• The driver door is open.
SafeHold can be temporarily bypassed by
pushing the EPB Switch while the driver door
is open and the brake pedal is pressed. Once
manually bypassed, SafeHold will be enabledagain once the vehicle reaches 12 mph
(20 km/h) or the ignition is turned to the OFF
position and back to ON/RUN again.
MANUAL TRANSMISSION —
IF EQUIPPED
WARNING!
You or others could be injured if you leave
the vehicle unattended without having the
park brake fully applied. The park brake
should always be applied when the driver
is not in the vehicle, especially on an
incline.
CAUTION!
Never drive with your foot resting on the
clutch pedal, or attempt to hold the ve-
hicle on a hill with the clutch pedal par-
tially engaged, as this will cause abnormal
wear on the clutch.NOTE:
During cold weather, you may experience
increased effort in shifting until the transmis-
sion fluid warms up. This is normal.
To shift the gears, fully press the clutch pedal
and place the gear selector into the desired
gear position (the diagram for the engage-
ment of the gears is displayed on the handle
of the selector).Gear Selector

CAUTION!
tion are used. Broken devices can cause
serious damage. Stop the vehicle imme-
diately if noise occurs that could indi-
cate device breakage. Remove the dam-
aged parts of the device before further
use.
• Install device as tightly as possible and
then retighten after driving about ½ mile
(0.8 km).
• Do not exceed 30 mph (48 km/h).
• Drive cautiously and avoid severe turns
and large bumps, especially with a
loaded vehicle.
• Do not drive for a prolonged period on
dry pavement.
• Observe the traction device manufactur-
er’s instructions on the method of instal-
lation, operating speed, and conditions
for use. Always use the suggested oper-
ating speed of the device manufacturer’s
if it is less than 30 mph (48 km/h).
• Do not use traction devices on a com-
pact spare tire.
Tire Rotation Recommendations
The tires on the front and rear of your vehicle
operate at different loads and perform differ-
ent steering, handling, and braking func-
tions. For these reasons, they wear at unequal
rates.
These effects can be reduced by timely rota-
tion of tires. The benefits of rotation are
especially worthwhile with aggressive tread
designs such as those on On/Off Road type
tires. Rotation will increase tread life, help to
maintain mud, snow, and wet traction levels,
and contribute to a smooth, quiet ride.
Refer to the “Maintenance Plan” for the
proper maintenance intervals. The reasons
for any rapid or unusual wear should be
corrected prior to rotation being performed.
The suggested Front Wheel Drive (FWD) rota-
tion method is the “forward cross” shown in
the following diagram. This rotation pattern
does not apply to some directional tires that
must not be reversed.The suggested Four Wheel Drive (4WD) Tire
rotation method is the “rearward cross”
shown in the following diagram.
