AFETYSAFETY
 Carbon Monoxide Gas
The engine exhaust from this vehicle contains carbon monoxide, a colorle\
ss, 
odorless, and highly toxic gas. As long as you properly maintain your ve\
hicle and 
follow the instructions set forth below, you will not accumulate dangerous levels 
of carbon monoxide gas in the vehicle interior.
Have the exhaust system inspected for leaks whenever:
•
 The exhaust system is making an unusual noise.
•
 The exhaust system may have been damaged.
•
 The vehicle is raised for an oil change.
When you operate a vehicle with the trunk open, airflow can pull exhau\
st gas 
into the interior and create a hazardous condition. If you must drive wi\
th the trunk 
open, open all the windows and set the climate control system as shown b\
elow. 1.
 Select the fresh air mode.
2.
 Select the  mode.
3.
 Set the fan speed to high.
4.
 Set the temperature control to a comfortable setting.
 Adjust the climate control system in the same manner if you sit in your \
parked 
vehicle with the engine running.
An enclosed area such as a garage can quickly fill up with carbon mono\
xide gas. 
Do not run the engine with the garage door closed. 
even when the garage door is 
open, drive out of the garage immediately after starting the engine.
Seat Belts
A seat belt is your best protection in all types of collisions. Airbags \
are designed to 
supplement seat belts, not replace them. So even though your vehicle is \
equipped 
with airbags, make sure you and your passengers always wear your seat belts and 
wear them properly.
 Lap/Shoulder Seat Belts
All five seating positions are equipped with lap/shoulder seat belts w\
ith 
emergency locking retractors. In normal driving, the retractor lets you \
move 
freely while keeping some tension on the belt. During a collision or sud\
den stop, 
the retractor locks to restrain your body. The rear seat belts also have a lockable 
retractor for use with child seats.
The front seats are equipped with automatic seat belt tensioners to enha\
nce 
safety. The tensioners automatically tighten the front seat belts during a mod\
erate 
to severe frontal collision, sometimes even if the collision is not seve\
re enough to 
inflate the front airbags.
 Proper Use of Seat BeltsFollow these guidelines for proper use:
•
 All occupants should sit upright, well back in the seat, and remain in t\
hat 
position for the duration of the trip. Slouching and leaning reduce the \
effectiveness of the belt and can increase the chance of serious injury \
in a 
crash.
•
 Never place the shoulder part of a lap/shoulder seat belt under your arm\
 or 
behind your back. This could cause very serious injuries in a crash.
•
 Two people should never use the same seat belt. If they do, they could be\
 very 
seriously injured in a crash.
•
 Do not put any accessories on the seat belts. Devices intended to improv\
e 
comfort or reposition the shoulder part of a seat belt can reduce the pr\
otective 
capability and increase the chance of serious injury in a crash.
•
 No one should sit in a seat with an inoperative seat belt or one that do\
es not 
appear to be working correctly
. Using a seat belt that is not working properly 
may not protect the occupant in a crash. Have a dealer check the belt as\
 soon 
as possible.
Carbon monoxide gas is toxic. Breathing it can cause unconsciousness and\
 
even kill you.
Avoid any enclosed areas or activities that expose you to carbon monoxide\
.
WARNING
Not wearing a seat belt properly increases the chance of a serious injur\
y or 
death in a crash, even though your vehicle has airbags.
Be sure you and your passengers always wear seat belts and wear them 
properly.

Before Driving
Check the following items before you begin driving.
 Exterior Checks •
 Make sure there are no obstructions on the windows, door mirrors, exteri\
or 
lights, or other parts of the vehicle.
•
  remove any frost, snow
, or ice.
•
 Make sure the hood is securely closed.
•
 Heat from the engine and exhaust can ignite flammable materials left u\
nder 
the hood, causing a fire. If you’ve parked your vehicle for an exte\
nded period, 
inspect and remove any debris that may have collected, such as dried gra\
ss  and leaves that have fallen or have been carried in for use as a nest by\
 a
 small 
animal. Also check under the hood for leftover flammable materials aft\
er you or 
someone else has performed maintenance on your vehicle. 
•
 Make sure the tires are in good condition.
•
 Make sure there are no people or objects behind or around the vehicle.
 Interior Checks •
 Store or secure all items on board properly.
•
 Do not pile items higher in the cargo area than the seat-back height.
•
 Do not place anything in the front seat footwells. Make sure to secure t\
he floor 
mats.
•
 If you have any animals on board, do not let them move freely around in \
the 
vehicle.
•
 Securely close and lock all doors and the trunk.
•
 Adjust your seating position, mirrors, and steering wheel properly.
•
 Make sure items placed on the floor behind the front seats cannot roll\

have the aiming readjusted at your dealer or by a qualified technician\
.
overloading or improper loading can affect handling and stability and cau\
se a 
crash in which you can be hurt or killed.
Follow all load limits and other loading guidelines in this guide.
WARNING
Load limits example
Example 1
Max load 
850 lbs 
(385 kg) Passenger weight 
150 lbs x 2 = 300 lbs  (68 kg x 2 = 136 kg) Cargo 
weight  
550 lbs 
(249 kg)
Example 2
Max load 
850 lbs 
(385 kg ) Passenger weight 
150 lbs x 5 = 750 lbs  (68 kg x 5 = 340 kg) Cargo 
weight  
100 lbs 
(45 kg )Towing a Trailer
Your vehicle can tow a trailer if you carefully observe the load limits, \
use the proper 
equipment, and follow the towing guidelines. Check the load limits befor\
e driving 
(see page 95).
 Total Trailer Weight
Maximum allowable weight of the trailer, cargo, and 
everything in or on it must not exceed 1,000 lbs (450 
kg). Towing loads in excess of this can seriously 
affect vehicle handling and performance and can 
damage the engine and drivetrain.
 Tongue LoadThe weight of the tongue with a fully loaded trailer 
on the hitch should be approximately 10% of the 
total trailer weight.
•
  excessive tongue load reduces front tire traction 
and steering control. T
oo little tongue load can 
make the trailer unstable and cause it to sway.
•
 To achieve a proper tongue load, start by loading 
60% of the load toward the front of the trailer and 
40% toward the rear
. 
readjust the load as needed.
 Pre-tow ChecklistWhen preparing to tow, and before driving away, ensure the following:
•
 The vehicle has been properly serviced, and the suspension and the cooli\
ng 
system are in good operating condition.
•
 Avoid towing a trailer during your vehicle’
s first 600 miles (1,000 km).
•
 The trailer has been properly serviced and is in good condition.
•
 All weights and loads are within limits. Never exceed the gross weight r\
atings.
•
 Check if all loads are within limits at a public scale. If a public scal\
e is not 
available, add the estimated weight of your cargo load to the weight of \
your 
trailer (as quoted by the manufacturer) and the tongue load.
•
 The hitch, safety chains, and any other attachments are secure.
•
 All items in or on the trailer are properly secured and cannot shift whi\
le you drive.
exceeding any load limit or improperly loading your vehicle and trailer c\
an
