could have been badly hurt or killed. After more than 30 years of safety belts in vehicles, the facts are clear. In most crashes buckling up does matter...a lot!

Children Q: What is the proper way to wear safety belts? A: If possible, an older child should wear a lap-shoulder belt and get the additional restraint a shoulder belt can provide.

is on the child's shoulder, so that in a crash the child's upper body would have the restraint that belts provide. See Rear Safety Belt Comfort Guides on page 56.

Q: What are the different types of add-on child restraints? A: Add-on child restraints, which are purchased {CAUTION: Children who are up against, or very close to, any airbag when it inflates can be seriously injured or killed.

and its head weighs so much compared with the rest of its body. In a crash, an infant in a rear-facing seat settles into the restraint, so the crash forces can be distributed across the strongest part of an infant's body, the back and shoulders. Infants always should be secured in appropriate infant - 2007 GMC Yukon | Owner's Manual - Page 68
. Make sure that the infant's head rests toward the center of the vehicle. A rear-facing infant seat (B) 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. 68 - 2007 GMC Yukon | Owner's Manual - Page 69

Approaching a Hill When you approach a hill, you need to decide if it is one of those hills that is just too steep to climb, descend, or cross. Steepness can be hard to judge. On a very small hill, for example, there may be a smooth, constant incline with only a small change in elevation where you - 2007 GMC Yukon | Owner's Manual - Page 364
Driving Uphill Once you decide you can safely drive up the hill, you need to take some special steps. • Use a low gear and get a firm grip on the steering wheel. • Get a smooth start up the hill and try to maintain your speed. Do not use more power than you need, because you do not want your wheels - 2007 GMC Yukon | Owner's Manual - Page 365
, shift the transmission to PARK (P) and restart the engine. Then, shift to REVERSE (R), release the parking brake, and slowly back down the hill as straight as possible in REVERSE (R). • As you are backing down the hill, put your left hand on the steering wheel at the 12 o'clock position. This way - 2007 GMC Yukon | Owner's Manual - Page 366

Then apply the parking brake. Shift to REVERSE (R), release the parking brake, and slowly back straight down. • Never attempt to - 2007 GMC Yukon | Owner's Manual - Page 367

This could cause loss of control and a serious accident. Apply the brakes lightly when descending a hill and use - 2007 GMC Yukon | Owner's Manual - Page 368
brakes. Apply the parking brake. 2. Shift to PARK (P) and, while still braking, restart the engine. 3. Shift back to a low gear, release the parking brake from the front wheels to weight on the downhill wheels. This could cause a downhill slide or a rollover. • Surface conditions can be a problem - 2007 GMC Yukon | Owner's Manual - Page 369
• Hidden obstacles can make the steepness of the incline even worse. If you drive across a rock with the uphill wheels, or if the downhill wheels drop into a rut or depression, your vehicle can tilt even more. For reasons like these, you need to decide carefully whether to try to drive across an - 2007 GMC Yukon | Owner's Manual - Page 370
Stalling on an Incline If your vehicle stalls when you are crossing an incline, be sure you, and any passengers, get out on the uphill side, even if the door there is harder to open. If you get out on the downhill side and the vehicle starts to roll over, you will be right in its path. If you have - 2007 GMC Yukon | Owner's Manual - Page 371
the traction is so poor that you will have difficulty accelerating. And if you do get moving, poor steering and difficult braking can cause you to slide out of control. {CAUTION: Driving on frozen lakes, ponds, or rivers can be dangerous.
