Children Too Large for Booster Seats
Children who are large enough to wear the shoulder belt
comfortably, and whose legs are long enough to bend
over the front of the seat when their back is against the
seat back should use the lap/shoulder belt in a rear seat.

• Make sure that the child is upright in the seat.
• The lap portion should be low on the hips and as snug

as possible.

• Check belt fit periodically. A child’s squirming or

slouching can move the belt out of position.

If the shoulder belt contacts the face or neck, move the
child closer to the center of the vehicle. Never allow a
child to put the shoulder belt under an arm or behind
their back.

NEW ENGINE BREAK-IN

Your Cummins 24 Valve Turbo Diesel engine does not
require a normal break-in period due to its construction.
Normal operation is allowed, provided the following
recommendations are followed:

NOTE:

Light duty operation such as light trailer towing

or no load operation, will extend the time before the
engine is at full efficiency. Reduced fuel economy and
power may be seen at this time.

• Warm up the engine before placing it under load.
• Do not operate the engine at idle for prolonged

periods.

• Use the appropriate transmission gear to prevent

engine lugging.

• Observe vehicle oil pressure and temperature indica-

tors.
