PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION
WARNING: Airbags do not inflateslowly or gently, and the risk of injuryfrom a deploying airbag is the greatestclose to the trim covering the airbagmodule.
WARNING: All occupants of yourvehicle, including the driver, shouldalways properly wear their safety belts,even when an airbag supplementalrestraint system is provided. Failure toproperly wear your safety belt couldseriously increase the risk of injury ordeath.
WARNING: Always transportchildren 12 years old and under in theback seat and always properly useappropriate child restraints. Failure tofollow this could seriously increase therisk of injury or death.
WARNING: Never place your armover the airbag module as a deployingairbag can result in serious arm fracturesor other injuries.
WARNING: Airbags can kill orinjure a child in a child seat. Never placea rear-facing child seat in front of anactive airbag. If you must use aforward-facing child seat in the frontseat, move the seat upon which the childseat is installed all the way back.
WARNING: Do not attempt toservice, repair, or modify the airbagsupplemental restraint systems or itsfuses as you could be seriously injuredor killed. Contact your authorized dealeras soon as possible.
WARNING: Several airbag systemcomponents get hot after inflation. Toavoid risk of injury, do not touch themafter inflation.
WARNING: If the airbag hasdeployed, the airbag will not functionagain and must be replacedimmediately. If the airbag is not replaced,the unrepaired area will increase the riskof injury in a crash.
The airbags are a supplemental restraintsystem and are designed to work with thesafety belts to help protect the driver andright front passenger from certain upperbody injuries. Airbags do not inflate slowly;there is a risk of injury from a deployingairbag.
Note:You will hear a loud bang and see acloud of harmless powdery residue if anairbag deploys. This is normal.
The airbags inflate and deflate rapidlyupon activation. After airbag deployment,it is normal to notice a smoke-like, powderyresidue or smell the burnt propellant. Thismay consist of cornstarch, talcum powder(to lubricate the bag) or sodiumcompounds (for example, baking soda)that result from the combustion processthat inflates the airbag. Small amounts ofsodium hydroxide may be present whichmay irritate the skin and eyes, but none ofthe residue is toxic.
While the system is designed to helpreduce serious injuries, contact with adeploying airbag may also cause abrasionsor swelling. Temporary hearing loss is alsoa possibility as a result of the noiseassociated with a deploying airbag.Because airbags must inflate rapidly andwith considerable force, there is the risk ofdeath or serious injuries such as fractures,facial and eye injuries or internal injuries,particularly to occupants who are not

Supplementary Restraints System
TOWING A TRAILER
WARNING: Do not exceedthe GVWR or the GAWRspecified on the certificationlabel.
WARNING: Towing trailersbeyond the maximumrecommended gross trailerweight exceeds the limit of yourvehicle and could result in enginedamage, transmission damage,structural damage, loss ofvehicle control, vehicle rolloverand personal injury.
Your vehicle may have electricalitems, for example fuses or relays,related to towing. See Fuses(page 131).
Your vehicle's load capacitydesignation is by weight, not byvolume, so you cannot necessarilyuse all available space whenloading your vehicle.
Towing a trailer places an extraload on your vehicle's engine,transmission, axle, brakes, tiresand suspension. Inspect thesecomponents periodically during,and after, any towing operation.
Load Placement
To help minimize how trailermovement affects your vehiclewhen driving:
•Load the heaviest items closestto the trailer floor.
•Load the heaviest itemscentered between the left andright side trailer tires.
•Load the heaviest items abovethe trailer axles or just slightlyforward toward the trailertongue. Do not allow the finaltrailer tongue weight to goabove or below 10-15% of theloaded trailer weight.
•Select a draw bar with thecorrect rise or drop. When boththe loaded vehicle and trailerare connected, the trailer frameshould be level, or slightlyangled down toward yourvehicle, when viewed from theside.
When driving with a trailer orpayload, a slight takeoff vibrationor shudder may be present due tothe increased payload weight.Additional information regardingcorrect trailer loading and settingyour vehicle up for towing islocated in another chapter of thisOwner's Manual. See Load Limit(page 99). You can also find theinformation in the RV & TrailerTowing Guide. See an authorizeddealer.

JUMP STARTING THE VEHICLE
WARNING: Batteries normallyproduce explosive gases which cancause personal injury. Therefore, do notallow flames, sparks or lightedsubstances to come near the battery.When working near the battery, alwaysshield your face and protect your eyes.Always provide correct ventilation.
WARNING: Keep batteries out ofreach of children. Batteries containsulfuric acid. Avoid contact with skin,eyes or clothing. Shield your eyes whenworking near the battery to protectagainst possible splashing of acidsolution. In case of acid contact with skinor eyes, flush immediately with water fora minimum of 15 minutes and get promptmedical attention. If acid is swallowed,call a physician immediately.
WARNING: Use only adequatelysized cables with insulated clamps.
Preparing Your Vehicle
Do not attempt to push-start yourautomatic transmission vehicle.
Note:Attempting to push-start a vehiclewith an automatic transmission may causetransmission damage.
Note:Use only a 12-volt supply to start yourvehicle.
Note:Do not disconnect the battery of thedisabled vehicle as this could damage thevehicle electrical system.
Park the booster vehicle close to the hoodof the disabled vehicle, making sure thetwo vehicles do not touch.
Connecting the Jumper Cables
WARNING: Do not attach thecables to fuel lines, engine rocker covers,the intake manifold or electricalcomponents as grounding points. Stayclear of moving parts. To avoid reversepolarity connections, make sure that youcorrectly identify the positive (+) andnegative (-) terminals on both thedisabled and booster vehicles beforeconnecting the cables.
WARNING: Do not attach the endof the positive cable to the studs orL-shaped eyelet located above thepositive (+) terminal of your vehicle’sbattery. High current may flow throughand cause damage to the fuses.
WARNING: Do not connect theend of the second cable to the negative(-) terminal of the battery to be jumped.A spark may cause an explosion of thegases that surround the battery.
Note:In the illustration, the bottom vehiclerepresents the booster vehicle.

Power Distribution Box
WARNING: Always disconnect thebattery before servicing high currentfuses.
WARNING: To reduce risk ofelectrical shock, always replace thecover to the power distribution boxbefore reconnecting the battery orrefilling fluid reservoirs.
Note:If your vehicle is equipped with dualbatteries, disconnecting the primaryunder-hood battery does not remove powerfrom all circuits.
The power distribution box is in the enginecompartment. It has high-current fusesthat protect your vehicle's main electricalsystems from overloads.
If the battery has been disconnected andreconnected, you need to reset somefeatures. See Changing the 12V Battery(page 153).
