Failure to reinstall, or correctly reinstall, the head restraints can re\
sult in
severe injury during a crash.
Always replace the head restraints before driving.
WARNING
Head Restraints
Your vehicle is equipped with head restraints in both seating positions; \
however,
they are non-adjustable. Head restraints are most effective for protecti\
on against
whiplash and other rear-impact crash injuries. Head restraints can be removed for
cleaning or repair.
The driver’s and passenger’s seats have active head
restraints. In a rear impact, an occupant properly
secured by a seat belt will be pushed against the
seat-back and the head restraint will move forward.
This reduces the distance between the restraint
and the occupant’s head, which helps reduce the
likelihood of whiplash and injuries to the neck and
upper spine.
To remove a head restraint
1.

Unhook the strap on the outside edge of the
seat-back.
2.


Pull out the strap throughout the band on the
outside under edge of the head restraint.
3.


Push the release button, and pull the head
restraint upward.
T

o resintall a head restraint
1.

Put the legs back in place, then slightly lower it.
Do not push it down fully until it locks in place.
2.


Insert the strap onto the band, then hook it to the
magnet on the outside edge of the seat-back.
3.


Push the head restraint down until it locks. Make
sure the head restraint locks in place when you
reinstall it.
In order for the head restraint system to work properly:
•


Do not hang any items on the head restraints, or from the restraint legs\
.
•


Do not place any object between an occupant and the seat-back.
•


Install each restraint in its proper location.

You can also pull up on the release lever on the
driver’s side of the seat-back to tilt the seat-back
forward.

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, exte
rior
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 g

rass
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 in the cargo area higher 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 both doors and the hatch.
•


Adjust your seating position, mirrors, and steering wheel properly
.
•

Make sure items placed on the floor behind the 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 s\
tart
the vehicle, and go off soon after

.
DRIVING
If the doors are frozen shut, use warm water around the door edges to me\
lt any
ice. Do not try to force them open, as this can damage the rubber trim a\
round the
doors. When done, wipe dry to avoid further freezing.
NOTICE Improper accessories or modifications can affect your vehicle’s handling, and
stability, and performance, and cause a crash in which you can be seriously hurt
or killed.
Follow all instructions in the vehicle owner’s guide regarding accessories and
modifications.
WARNING
In addition:
•
During the first 600 miles (1,000 km) of operation, avoid sudden acc\
elerat
ion or
full throttle operation so as not to damage the engine or powertrain.
•

A
void hard braking for the first 200 miles (300 km). You should also follow this
when the brake pads are replaced.

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 450 lbs (204 kg). See the Tire and Loading
Information label on the driver’s doorjamb.
Label example
This figure 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 figure equals the available amount of cargo and luggage \
load capacity

. For example, if the “XXX” amount equals 1,400 lbs. and
there will be five 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.
Load limits example
Example 1
Max load
450 lbs
(204 kg) Passenger weight
150 lbs x 1 = 150 lbs

Example 2 Max load450 lbs
(204 kg) Passenger weight
150 lbs x 2 = 300 lbs
(68 kg x 2 = 136 kg )Cargo
weight
150 lbs (68 kg)
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 cargo area, have the
aiming readjusted at your dealer or by a qualied technician.
Your vehicle is not designed to tow a trailer. Attempting to do so can void your
warranties. Overloading or improper loading can affect handling and stability and ca\
use a
crash in which you can be hurt or killed.
Follow all load limits and other loading guidelines in this guide.
