DRIVING
Learn about preparation for driving, as well as other features.
Before Driving
Check the following items before you begin driving.
Exterior Checks
• Make sure there are no obstructions on the windows, door mirrors, exterior 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 ammable materials left under the
hood, causing a re. If you’ve parked your vehicle for an extended period, inspect and remove any debris that may have collected, such as dried grass 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 ammable materials after 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.
If the doors are frozen shut, use warm water around the door edges to melt any ice. Do not try to force them open, as this can damage the rubber trim around the doors. When done, wipe dry to avoid further freezing.
NOTICE
In addition: • During the rst 600 miles (1,000 km) of operation, avoid sudden acceleration or full
throttle operation so as not to damage the engine or powertrain.
• Avoid hard braking for the rst 200 miles (300 km). You should also follow this when
the brake pads are replaced.
Improper accessories or modi cations can affect your vehicle’s handling,
stability, and performance, and cause a crash in which you can be seriously hurt or killed.
Follow all instructions in the vehicle owner’s manual regarding accessories and modi cations.
WARNING
Interior Checks
• Store or secure all items on board properly.
• Do not place anything in the front-seat footwells. Make sure to secure the oor
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 oor behind the front seats cannot roll under the
seats.
• Everyone in the vehicle must fasten their seat belt.
• Make sure that the indicators in the instrument panel come on when you start the
vehicle, and go off soon after.

Maximum Load Limit
Carrying too much cargo or improperly storing it can affect your vehicle’s
handling, stability, stopping distance, and tires, and make it unsafe.
The maximum load for your vehicle is 850 lbs (385 kg). See the Tire and Loading
Information label on the driver’s doorjamb. This gure includes the total weight of all occupants, cargo, and accessories,
and the tongue load if you are towing a trailer. Below are the steps for determining the correct load limit:
1. Locate the statement “The combined weight of occupants and cargo should never exceed XXX kg or XXX lbs.” on your vehicle’s placard.
2. Determine the combined weight of the driver and passengers that will be riding in your vehicle.
3. Subtract the combined weight of the driver and passengers from XXX kg or XXX lbs.
4. The resulting gure equals the available amount of cargo and luggage load capacity. For example, if the “XXX” amount equals 1,400 lbs. and there will be ve 150 lb. passengers in your vehicle, the amount of available cargo and luggage load capacity is 650 lbs. (1,400 - 750 (5 x 150) = 650 lbs.)
5. Determine the combined weight of luggage and cargo being loaded on the vehicle. That weight may not safely exceed the available cargo and luggage load capacity calculated in step 4.
6. If your vehicle will be towing a trailer, load from your trailer will be transferred to your vehicle. Consult this manual to determine how this reduces the available cargo and luggage load capacity of your vehicle.
In addition, the total weight of the vehicle, all occupants, accessories, cargo,
and trailer tongue load must not exceed the Gross Vehicle Weight Rating
(GVWR) or the Gross Axle Weight Rating (GAWR). Both are on a label on the
driver’s doorjamb.
Label example
The headlight aim on your vehicle was set by the factory, and does not need to be
adjusted. However, if you regularly carry heavy items in the trunk, have the aiming readjusted at your dealer or by a quali ed technician.
Your vehicle is not designed to tow a trailer. Attempting to do so can void your warranties.
Load Limits ExampleExample1
Max Load
850 lbs
(385 kg) 550 lbs
(249 kg)
Passenger Weight
150 lbs x 2 = 300 lbs (68 kg x 2 = 136 kg) Cargo Weight
Example2 Max Load
850 lbs
(385 kg) 100 lbs
Passenger Weight
150 lbs x 5 = 750 lbs (68 kg x 5 = 340 kg) (45 kg) Cargo Weight
Overloading or improper loading can affect handling and stability and cause a crash in which you can be hurt or killed. Follow all load limits and other loading guidelines in this guide.
