DRIVE (D), and MANUAL (M)(+/–) shift
positions.
The transmission may be shifted freely
from REVERSE (R), to NEUTRAL (N), to
DRIVE (D), to MANUAL (M)(+/–).
Note:
Even if you intend to use the automatic
transmission functions as a traditional
automatic, you should also be aware
that you can inadvertently shift into
manual shift mode and an inappropriategear may be retained as the vehicle
speed increases. If you notice the
engine speed going higher or hear the
engine racing, confirm you have not
accidentally slipped into manual shift
mode (refer to “Manual Shift Mode”
paragraph in this section).
Shift Position Indication
The gear selector position PARK (P) is
indicated when the ignition is placed in
the ON mode.
Note:
If one of the following actions is
performed, the gear selector position is
displayed for five minutes even if the
ignition is placed in a mode other
than ON.
The ignition is placed in the OFF
mode.
The driver's door is opened.
Gear Position Indication
In MANUAL (M) shift mode, the “M” of
the shift position indication illuminates
and the number of the selected gear is
displayed.
Gear Selector Positions
The gear selector position indicator light
in the instrument cluster illuminates.
The gear selector must be in PARK (P)
or NEUTRAL (N) to operate the starter.
Park (P)
PARK (P) locks the transmission and
prevents the rear wheels from rotating.
Warning!
Never use the PARK position as a
substitute for the park brake. Always apply
the park brake fully when parked to guard
against vehicle movement and possible
injury or damage.
Your vehicle could move and injure you
and others if it is not in PARK. Check by
trying to move the gear selector out of
PARK with the brake pedal released. Make
sure the transmission is in PARK before
leaving the vehicle.
It is dangerous to shift out of PARK or
NEUTRAL if the engine speed is higher than
idle speed. If your foot is not firmly pressing
the brake pedal, the vehicle could accelerate
quickly forward or in reverse. You could lose
control of the vehicle and hit someone or
something. Only shift into gear when the
engine is idling normally and your foot is
firmly pressing the brake pedal.
Unintended movement of a vehicle
could injure those in or near the vehicle. As
with all vehicles, you should never exit a
vehicle while the engine is running. Before
exiting a vehicle, always apply the park
brake, shift the transmission into PARK,
and turn the ignition OFF. When the ignition
is in the OFF mode, the transmission is
locked in PARK, securing the vehicle
against unwanted movement.
When leaving the vehicle, always make
sure the ignition is in the OFF mode,
remove the key fob from the vehicle, and
lock the vehicle.

STARTING AND OPERATING

Carbon Monoxide
Warnings
Warning!
Carbon monoxide (CO) in exhaust gases is
deadly. Follow the precautions below to
prevent carbon monoxide poisoning:
Do not inhale exhaust gases. They
contain carbon monoxide, a colorless and
odorless gas, which can kill. Never run the
engine in a closed area, such as a garage,
and never sit in a parked vehicle with the
engine running for an extended period. If
the vehicle is stopped in an open area with
the engine running for more than a short
period, adjust the ventilation system to
force fresh, outside air into the vehicle.
Guard against carbon monoxide with
proper maintenance. Have the exhaust
system inspected every time the vehicle is
raised. Have any abnormal conditions
repaired promptly. Until repaired, drive with
all side windows fully open.
Refueling Procedure

Observe the traction device
manufacturer’s instructions on the method
of installation, operating speed, and
conditions for use. Always use the
suggested operating speed of the device
manufacturer’s if it is less than 30 mph
(48 km/h).
Do not use traction devices on a
compact spare tire.
Driving In Flooded Area
Note: Do not drive the vehicle on
flooded roads as it could cause short
circuit of electrical/electronic parts, or
water enters the engine and causes it
to lock up (hydro-lock) and stall. If the
vehicle has been immersed in water
contact your Authorized Dealer.
Although your vehicle is capable of
driving through shallow standing water,
consider the following Cautions and
Warnings before doing so.
Warning!
Driving through standing water limits
your vehicle’s traction capabilities. Do not
exceed 5 mph (8 km/h) when driving
through standing water.
Driving through standing water limits
your vehicle’s braking capabilities, which
increases stopping distances. Therefore,
after driving through standing water, drive
slowly and lightly press on the brake pedal
several times to dry the brakes.
Failure to follow these warnings may
result in injuries that are serious or fatal to
you, your passengers, and others around
you.
Caution!
Always check the depth of the standing
water before driving through it. Never drive
through standing water that is deeper than
the bottom of the tire rims mounted on the
vehicle.
Determine the condition of the road or
the path that is under water and if there are
any obstacles in the way before driving
through the standing water.
Do not exceed 5 mph (8 km/h) when
driving through standing water. This will
minimize wave effects.
Driving through standing water may
cause damage to your vehicle’s drivetrain
components. Always inspect your vehicle’s
fluids (i.e., engine oil, transmission, axle,
etc.) for signs of contamination (i.e., fluid
that is milky or foamy in appearance) after
driving through standing water. Do not
continue to operate the vehicle if any fluid
appears contaminated, as this may result in
further damage. Such damage is not
covered by the New Vehicle Limited
Warranty.
Getting water inside your vehicle’s
engine can cause it to lock up and stall out,
and cause serious internal damage to the
engine. Such damage is not covered by
the New Vehicle Limited Warranty.
Overloading
Note: Be careful not to overload your
vehicle. The gross axle weight rating
(GAWR) and the gross vehicle weight
rating (GVWR) of the vehicle are on the
Motor Vehicle Safety Standard Label on
the driver's door frame. Exceeding
these ratings can cause an accident or
vehicle damage. You can estimate the
weight of the load by weighing the
items (or people) before putting them in
the vehicle.

13. Reinsert the valve core into the
valve and turn it clockwise to install.
Note:
The tire sealant cannot be reused.
If the tire sealant kit has been used, or
is expired, purchase new one at an
Authorized Dealer.
Do not throw away the empty tire
sealant bottle after use. Return the
empty tire sealant bottle to an
Authorized Dealer when replacing the
tire. The empty tire sealant bottle will
need to be used to extract and dispose
of the used sealant from the tire.
14. Install the injection hose to the tab
of the bottle to prevent leakage of any
remaining sealant.
15. Adhere the speed restriction sticker
to an area where it can be viewed easily
by the driver.
Warning!
Do not adhere the speed restriction sticker
to the padded area on the steering wheel.
Adhering the speed restriction sticker to
the padded area on the steering wheel is
dangerous because the air bag may not
operate (deploy) normally resulting in
serious injury. In addition, do not adhere
the sticker to areas where warning lights or
the speedometer cannot be viewed.
16. Pull out the air compressor hose
and the air compressor plug from the
air compressor.
17. Install the air compressor hose to
the tire valve. 18. Insert the air compressor plug into
the accessory socket inside the vehicle
and place the ignition to ACC.
19. Turn the air compressor switch on
and inflate the tire carefully to the
correct inflation pressure. For the
correct pressure, check the tire inflation
pressure label on the driver's door
frame.
Note:
When inserting the air
compressor plug into or removing it
from the accessory socket, make sure
that the air compressor switch is off.
When turning the air compressor on/off,
use the air compressor switch. Before
checking the tire inflation pressure using
the tire pressure gauge, turn the air
compressor switch off.
Caution!
If the tire inflation pressure does not
increase, repair of the tire is not possible. If
the tire does not reach the specified tire
inflation pressure within 10 minutes, it may
have received extensive damage. In this
case, the repair using the tire service kit
was not successful.
Do not operate the air compressor for a
continuous 10 minutes or longer because
using it for long periods could cause a
malfunction.

BATTERY CHARGING
PROCEDURE
Warning!
Battery fluid is a corrosive acid solution
and can burn or even blind you. Do not
allow battery fluid to contact your eyes,
skin, or clothing. Do not lean over a battery
when attaching clamps. If acid splashes in
eyes or on skin, flush the area immediately
with large amounts of water. Refer to
“Jump-Starting” in “In Case Of Emergency”
for further information.
Battery gas is flammable and explosive.
Keep flame or sparks away from the
battery. Do not use a booster battery or
any other booster source with an output
greater than 12 Volts. Do not allow cable
clamps to touch each other.
Battery posts, terminals, and related
accessories contain lead and lead
compounds. Wash hands after handling.
Caution!
It is essential when replacing the cables
on the battery that the positive cable is
attached to the positive post and the
negative cable is attached to the negative
post. Battery posts are marked positive (+)
and negative (-) and are identified on the
battery case. Cable clamps should be tight
on the terminal posts and free of corrosion.
If a “fast charger” is used while the
battery is in the vehicle, disconnect both
vehicle battery cables before connecting
the charger to the battery. Do not use a
“fast charger” to provide starting voltage.

MAINTENANCE
PROCEDURES
The following pages contain
instructions on the required
maintenance from the technical
personnel who designed the vehicle.
In addition to these specific
maintenance instructions specified for
routine scheduled servicing, there are
other components which may require
periodic maintenance or replacement
over the vehicle’s life cycle.
Body Lubrication
Ensure that the locks and bodywork
junction points, including components
such as the seat guides, door hinges
(and rollers), trunk and hood are
periodically lubricated with lithium
based grease to ensure correct, silent
operation and to protect them from rust
and wear.
Thoroughly clean the components,
eliminating every trace of dirt and dust.
After lubricating, eliminate excess oil
and grease. Also pay particular
attention to the hood closing devices,
to ensure correct operation.
During operations on the hood, be sure
to perform with the engine cold, also
remember to check, clean and lubricate
the locking, release and safety devices.
Make sure the hood's secondary latch
keeps the hood from opening when the
primary latch is released.
236
SERVICING AND MAINTENANCE

left running) this is particularly
important when clearing ice and snow.
Do not spray water in the engine
compartment. Otherwise, it could
result in engine-starting problems or
damage to electrical parts.
When washing and waxing the
vehicle, be careful not to apply
excessive force to any single area of
the vehicle hood. Otherwise, you could
dent the vehicle.
Do not use automatic car washing
machines and car washing devices
using high water pressure.
Make sure that the fuel door is
closed and lock the doors. Otherwise,
the fuel flap may be forcefully opened
by water pressure causing damage to
the vehicle or fuel door.
To minimize scratches on the vehicle's
paint finish:
Rinse off any dirt or other foreign
matter using lukewarm or cold water
before washing.
Use plenty of lukewarm or cold water
and a soft cloth when washing the
vehicle. Do not use a nylon cloth.
Rub gently when washing or drying
the vehicle.
Take your vehicle only to a car wash
that keeps its brushes well maintained.
Do not use abrasive cleansers or
wax that contain abrasives.
Caution!
Do not use steel wool, abrasive cleaners, or
strong detergents containing highly alkaline
or caustic agents on chrome plated or
anodized aluminium parts. This may
damage the protective coating; also,
cleaners and detergents may discolor or
deteriorate the paint.
Pay special attention to removing salt,
dirt, mud, and other foreign material
from the underside of the fenders, and
make sure the drain holes in the lower
edges of the doors and rocker panels
are clean.
Insects, tar, tree sap, bird droppings,
industrial fallout, and similar deposits
can damage the finish if not removed
immediately. When prompt washing
with plain water is ineffective, use a mild
soap made for use on vehicles.
Thoroughly rinse off all soap with
lukewarm or cold water. Do not allow
soap to dry on the finish.
After washing the vehicle, dry it with a
clean chamois to prevent water spots
from forming.
Waxing
Your vehicle needs to be waxed when
water no longer beads on the finish. Always wash and dry the vehicle before
waxing it. In addition to the vehicle
body, wax the metal trim to maintain its
lustre:
Use wax which contains no
abrasives. Waxes containing abrasive
will remove paint and could damage
bright metal parts.
Use a good grade of natural wax for
metallic, mica, and solid colors.
When waxing, coat evenly with the
sponge supplied or a soft cloth.
Wipe off the wax with a soft cloth.
Note: A spot remover to remove oil,
tar, and similar materials will usually also
take off the wax. Rewax these areas
even if the rest of the vehicle does not
need it.
Repairing Damage To
The Finish
Deep scratches or chips on the finish
should be repaired promptly. Exposed
metal quickly rusts and can lead to
major repairs.
Note:
If your vehicle is damaged and needs
metal parts repaired or replaced, make
sure the body shop applies corrosion
prevention materials to all parts, both
repaired and new. This will prevent
them from rusting.
