Always fasten your seat belt securely and ensure the passenger seat belt is properly and securely fas- tened prior to operating or riding in this vehicle. PR549A 1. To raise the cargo box, push the han- dle forward; then raise the cargo box. Occupant Side Restraints In addition to the seat belts, there are left- and right-side restraints to restrict arms or legs from extending outside the vehi- cle.

Power Steering (XTX/XTZ) Some vehicles were produced with an Electronic Power Steering (EPS) system to reduce steering effort and driver fatigue over a broad range of operating conditions. To secure the restraint, connect the restraint buckle to the foot restraint latch bracket. TO release the restraint, press the release button in the center of the buckle.
The EPS system engages when the igni- tion switch is turned to the ON position and disengages after approximately five minutes (to conserve battery power) if the engine is not running. This system is entirely maintenance-free: no adjustment or servicing is required. There are no fluids to check or change, and the EPS system is entirely self-contained and sealed to protect it from the elements. Tailgate Latch HDX187A The EPS system is battery system pow- ered; therefore, the battery must be in good condition and fully charged. Power delivery and overload protection is pro- vided by an EPS relay and 30-amp fuse located under the seat in the Power Dis- tribution Module (PDM).
The system is self-monitored and will display a “P0635” malfunction code on the LCD gauge/speedometer should an EPS system control circuit problem occur. Do not operate the vehicle with a “P0635” malfunction code displayed. PR039A 1. To open the tailgate, pull the latch (located at the center of the tailgate). 2.
