72 Seats and Restraints
{Warning
Never hold an infant or a child while
riding in a vehicle. Due to crash forces, an
infant or a child will become so heavy it
is not possible to hold it during a crash.
For example, in a crash at only
40 km/h (25 mph), a 5.5 kg (12 lb) infant
will suddenly become a 110 kg (240 lb)
force on a person's arms. An infant or
child should be secured in an appropriate
child restraint.
{Warning
Children who are up against, or very
close to, any airbag when it inflates can
be seriously injured or killed. Never put a
rear-facing child restraint in the front
outboard seat. Secure a rear-facing child
restraint in a rear seat. It is also better to
secure a forward-facing child restraint in
a rear seat. If you must secure a
forward-facing child restraint in the front
outboard seat, always move the front
passenger seat as far back as it will go.
Child restraints are devices used to restrain,
seat, or position children in the vehicle and
are sometimes called child seats or car seats.
There are three basic types of child
restraints:
.Forward-facing child restraints
.Rear-facing child restraints
.Belt-positioning booster seats
The proper child restraint for your child
depends on their size, weight, and age, and
also on whether the child restraint is
compatible with the vehicle in which it will
be used.
For each type of child restraint, there are
many different models available. When
purchasing a child restraint, be sure it is
designed to be used in a motor vehicle and
is designed by a genuine child restraint
manufacturer. If it is, the child restraint will
have a label saying that it meets federal
motor vehicle safety standards.
The instruction manual that is provided with
the child restraint states the weight and
height limitations for that particular child
restraint. In addition, there are many kinds
of child restraints available for children with
special needs.

Seats and Restraints 73
{Warning
To reduce the risk of neck and head
injury in a crash, infants and toddlers
should be secured in a rear-facing child
restraint until age two, or until they
reach the maximum height and weight
limits of their child restraint.
{Warning
A young child's hip bones are still so
small that the vehicle seat belt may not
remain low on the hip bones, as it
should. Instead, it may settle up around
the child's abdomen. In a crash, the belt
would apply force on a body area that is
unprotected by any bony structure. This
alone could cause serious or fatal injuries.
To reduce the risk of serious or fatal
injuries during a crash, young children
should always be secured in an
appropriate child restraint.
Child Restraint Systems
Rear-Facing Infant Restraint
A rear-facing child restraint provides
restraint with the seating surface against
the back of the infant.
The harness system holds the infant in place
and, in a crash, acts to keep the infant
positioned in the restraint.
Forward-Facing Child Restraint
A forward-facing child restraint provides
restraint for the child's body with the
harness.

188 Driving and Operating
{Warning
Driving on frozen lakes, ponds, or rivers
can be dangerous. Ice conditions vary
greatly and the vehicle could fall through
the ice; you and your passengers could
drown. Drive your vehicle on safe
surfaces only.
Water Fording
Your vehicle is capable of driving across
water of varying depth, provided a ride
height is selected that gives enough ground
clearance. To adjust ride height, seeAir
Suspension 0211.
.Normal height ground clearance —Can
drive through water up to 66 cm
(26 in) deep
.Increased height ground clearance —Up
to 71 cm (28 in) deep
.Extract Mode (if equipped) —Up to
81 cm (32 in) deep
{Warning
Driving in water can cause loss of vehicle
control or vehicle damage. As water
depths increase, reduce the vehicle speed.
.Never drive through water deeper
than the driver’s side front gravel
guard behind the front tire.
.Be aware of submerged obstacles.
.Never open your doors while in water.
{Warning
Driving through flowing water can be
dangerous and have an unpredictable
effect on vehicle control. Even shallow
water can wash away the ground from
under your tires. Traction could be lost,
the vehicle could be swept downstream
or the vehicle could roll over. Do not
drive through rushing water.
Caution
Do not drive through standing water if it
is deep enough to cover the gravel
guards. Deep water can damage vehicle
parts.
Before driving in water:
.Determine the depth of the water.
.Enter the water slowly. Never exceed
5 km/h (3 mph) in water deeper than the
center of the front hubs.
.Always drive in the direction of the
current.
.Avoid oncoming vehicles, as they will
increase the water depth surrounding
your vehicle.

Driving and Operating 211
Maximum vehicle speed may be limited if
the four-wheel steering system becomes
inoperable.
When towing a trailer the four-wheel
steering provides enhanced stability allowing
the trailer to follow the path of the tow
vehicle more closely, especially during lane
changes. SeeGeneral Towing Information
0 293 for more information on towing a
trailer.
Four-Wheel Steering Behavior at 0 MPH
The rear wheels may not steer to full travel
when the vehicle is stationary. Additional
travel may be achieved once the vehicle
begins to move.
Care should be taken to ensure the vehicle
path is clear of obstacles if the rear tires
steer once the vehicle is moving.
Limited-Slip Differential
If equipped, the limited-slip differential can
give more traction on snow, mud, ice, sand,
or gravel. It works like a standard axle most
of the time, but when traction is low, this
feature allows the drive wheel with the
most traction to move the vehicle. For
vehicles with the limited-slip differential, driven under severe conditions, the rear axle
fluid should be changed. See
Maintenance
Schedule 0389.
Air Suspension
If equipped, the Air Suspension feature
provides full time load leveling capability
along with the benefit of adjusting ride
height for increased convenience and
capability.
{Warning
To help avoid personal injury or death,
make sure the area underneath the
vehicle and inside the wheel wells is clear
when lowering the vehicle.
{Warning
To help avoid personal injury or death,
always select the lowest ride height for
the current driving conditions. Higher ride
heights raise the vehicle's center of
gravity, increasing the chance of a
rollover during extreme maneuvers.
{Warning
Heavy loads on the roof rack will make
the vehicle's center of gravity higher,
increasing the possibility of a rollover. To
avoid losing control of the vehicle, always
select the normal height setting and
avoid high speeds, sudden starts, sharp
turns, sudden braking, or abrupt
maneuvers when carrying cargo on the
roof rack.
Changing Ride Height
Press either “Up”or“Down” Ride Height
button to open the Ride Height menu. Select
the desired ride height from the following
