Instruments and Controls 5-11After the ignition switch is placed in
the ON position, the passenger
airbag status indicator on the
instrument panel will light for about
seven seconds and then go out or
stay lit depending on the front
outboard seat occupied status. The
passenger airbag status indicator
operates as follows: .
Passenger seat occupied by a
small adult, child, or child
restraint: The passenger airbag
status indicator lights to indicate
that the front passenger frontal
airbag is off and will not inflate in
a collision. .
Occupied passenger seat and
the passenger meets the
conditions outlined in this
manual: The passenger airbag
status indicator is not lit to
indicate that the front passenger
frontal airbag is operational.
See Passenger Sensing System on
page 3-22 for more information. Charging System Light
This light will come on briefly when
the ignition is turned on, and the
engine is not running, as a check to
show it is working.
It should go out when the engine is
started. If it stays on, or comes on
while driving, there may be a
problem with the electrical charging
system. Have it checked by your
dealer. Driving while this light is on
could drain the battery. If a short
distance must be driven with the
light on, turn off all accessories,
such as the radio and air
conditioner, to help reduce the drain
on the battery. Malfunction
Indicator Lamp A computer system called OBD II
(On-Board Diagnostics-Second
Generation) monitors the operation
of the vehicle to ensure emissions
are at acceptable levels, helping to
maintain a clean environment. The
malfunction indicator lamp comes
on when the vehicle is placed in
ON, as a check to show it is
working. If it does not, have the
vehicle serviced by your dealer. See
Ignition Positions on page 9-14 for
more information.
If the malfunction indicator lamp
comes on while the engine is
running, this indicates that the

9-6 Driving and Operating Warning (Continued)Flowing or rushing water creates
strong forces. Driving through
flowing water could cause the
vehicle to be carried away. If this
happens, you and other vehicle
occupants could drown. Do not
ignore police warnings and be
very cautious about trying to drive
through flowing water.
Hydroplaning Hydroplaning is dangerous. Water
can build up under the vehicle's
tires so they actually ride on the
water. This can happen if the road is
wet enough and you are going fast
enough. When the vehicle is
hydroplaning, it has little or no
contact with the road.
There is no hard and fast rule about
hydroplaning. The best advice is to
slow down when the road is wet. Other Rainy Weather Tips Besides slowing down, other wet
weather driving tips include: .
Allow extra following distance. .
Pass with caution. .
Keep windshield wiping
equipment in good shape. .
Keep the windshield washer fluid
reservoir filled. .
Have good tires with proper
tread depth. See Tires on
page 10-26 . .
Turn off cruise control.
Hill and Mountain Roads Driving on steep hills or through
mountains is different than driving
on flat or rolling terrain. Tips for
driving in these conditions include: .
Keep the vehicle serviced and in
good shape. .
Check all fluid levels and brakes,
tires, cooling system, and
transmission. .
Shift to a lower gear when going
down steep or long hills.
{ WarningUsing the brakes to slow the
vehicle on a long downhill slope
can cause brake overheating, can
reduce brake performance, and
could result in a loss of braking.
Shift the transmission to a lower
gear to let the engine assist the
brakes on a steep downhill slope.
{ Warning
Coasting downhill in N (Neutral)
or with the ignition off is
dangerous. This can cause
overheating of the brakes and
loss of steering. Always have the
engine running and the vehicle
in gear.

Driving and Operating 9-13Using heavier suspension
components to get added
durability might not change your
weight ratings. Ask your dealer
to help you load your vehicle the
right way.
If you put things inside your
vehicle – like suitcases, tools,
packages, or anything else –
they will go as fast as the
vehicle goes. If you have to stop
or turn quickly, or if there is a
crash, they will keep going.
{ Warning
Things inside the vehicle can
strike and injure people in a
sudden stop or turn, or in a
crash. .
Put things in the cargo
area of the vehicle. In the
cargo area, put them as
(Continued) Warning (Continued)
far forward as possible.
Try to spread the weight
evenly. .
Never stack heavier
things, like suitcases,
inside the vehicle so that
some of them are above
the tops of the seats. .
Do not leave an
unsecured child restraint
in the vehicle. .
Secure loose items in the
vehicle. .
Do not leave a seat folded
down unless needed.
Also, check the tires for proper
inflation pressure. Refer to the Tire
and Loading Information label. Starting and
Operating New Vehicle Break-In
{ CautionThe vehicle does not need an
elaborate break-in. But it will
perform better in the long run if
you follow these guidelines for the
first 2 000 km (1,200 mi): .
Do not drive at any one
constant speed, fast or slow. .
Avoid quick starts. Avoid
accelerating at full-throttle in
any gear. Do not exceed
4000 rpm. .
Avoid downshifting to brake
or slow the vehicle. .

Full-Size Spare Tire If this vehicle came with a full-size
spare tire, it was fully inflated when
new, however, it can lose air over
time. Check the inflation pressure
regularly. See Tire Pressure on
page 10-35 and Vehicle Load Limits
on page 9-9 . For instructions on
how to remove, install, or store a
spare tire, see Tire Changing on
page 10-48 .
After installing the spare tire on the
vehicle, stop as soon as possible
and check that the spare is correctly
inflated. The spare tire is made to
perform well at speeds up to
112 km/h (70 mph) at the
recommended inflation pressure, so
you can finish your trip. Have the damaged or flat road tire
repaired or replaced back onto the
vehicle, as soon as possible, so the
spare tire will be available in case it
is needed again.
Do not mix tires and wheels of
different sizes, because they will not
fit. Keep the spare tire and its wheel
together.
Jump Starting For more information about the
vehicle battery, see Battery on
page 10-21 .
If the vehicle battery has run down,
you may want to use another
vehicle and jumper cables to start
your vehicle. Use the following
steps to do it safely.
{ WarningWARNING: Battery posts,
terminals, and related
accessories contain lead and lead
compounds, chemicals known to
the State of California to cause
cancer and birth defects or other
reproductive harm. Wash hands
after handling. See California
Proposition 65 Warning on
page 10-2 .
