Driving Your Vehicle
6-38
CAUTION Always drive slowly in water. If you drive
too fast, water may get into the motor
compartment, causing your vehicle to
suddenly stop.

Additional driving conditions
• Become familiar with the off-road conditions before driving.
• Always pay attention when driving off-road and avoid dangerous areas.
• Drive slowly when driving in heavy wind.
• Reduce vehicle speed when cornering. The center of gravity of AWD vehicles is
higher than conventional 2WD vehicles,
making them more likely to roll over
when you rapidly turn corners.
• Always hold the steering wheel firmly when you are driving off-road.
WARNING Do not grab the inside of the steering
wheel when you are driving off-road. You
may hurt your arm by a sudden steering
maneuver or from steering wheel
rebound due to an impact with objects on
the ground. You could lose control of the
steering wheel which may lead to serious
injury or death.

Emergency Precautions
Tires
When replacing tires, be sure to equip all
four tires with the same size, type, tread
patterns, brand and load-carrying
capacity.
WARNING Do not use tire and wheel with different
size and type from the one originally
installed on your vehicle. It can affect the
safety and performance of your vehicle,
which could lead to steering failure or
rollover causing serious injury.

WARNING
B6005201
Never start or run the vehicle while an
AWD vehicle is raised on a jack. The
vehicle can slip or roll off of a jack causing
serious injury or death to you or those
nearby.

Towing
AWD vehicles must be towed with a
wheel lift and dollies or flatbed
equipment with all the wheels off the
ground. For more information, refer to the
"Towing" section in chapter 8.
Vehicle inspection
• If the vehicle needs to be operated on a vehicle lift do not attempt to stop any of
the four wheels from turning. This could
damage the AWD system.
• Never engage the parking brake while running the vehicle on a car lift. This
may damage the AWD system.

Vehicle capacity weight
5 persons: 860 lbs. (390 kg)
Vehicle capacity weight is the
maximum combined weight of
occupants and cargo. If your vehicle
is equipped with a trailer, the
combined weight includes the
tongue load.
Seating capacity
Total : 5 persons (Front seat : 2
persons, Rear seat : 3 persons)
Seating capacity is the maximum
number of occupants including a
driver, your vehicle may carry.
However, the seating capacity may
be reduced based upon the weight of
all of the occupants, and the weight
of the cargo being carried or towed.
Do not overload the vehicle as there
is a limit to the total weight, or load
limit including occupants and cargo,
the vehicle can carry.
Cargo capacity
The cargo capacity of your vehicle
will increase or decrease depending
on the weight and the number of
occupants and the tongue load, if
your vehicle is equipped with a trailer.Steps for determining 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 1400 lbs. and there will be
five 150 lbs. passengers in your
vehicle, the amount of available
cargo and luggage load capacity is
650 lbs. (1400 - 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.

Certification label
OBH059070
The certification label is located on
the driver's door sill at the center
pillar and shows the maximum
allowable weight of the fully loaded
vehicle. This is called the GVWR
(Gross Vehicle Weight Rating). The
GVWR includes the weight of the
vehicle, all occupants, fuel and cargo.
This label also tells you the maximum
weight that can be supported by the
front and rear axles, called Gross Axle
Weight Rating (GAWR).
The total weight of the vehicle,
including all occupants, accessories,
cargo, and trailer tongue load must
not exceed the Gross Vehicle Weight
Rating (GVWR) or the Gross Axle
Weight Rating (GAWR). To find out
the actual loads on your front and
rear axles, you need to go to a weigh
station and weigh your vehicle. Be
sure to spread out your load equally
on both sides of the centerline.
WARNING Overloading
• Never exceed the GVWR for your vehicle, the GAWR for either the
front or rear axle and vehicle
capacity weight. Exceeding these ratings can affect your vehicle's
handling and braking ability, and
cause an accident.

• Do not overload your vehicle. Overloading your vehicle can cause
heat buildup in your vehicle's tires and
possible tire failure, increased stopping
distances and poor vehicle handling-all
of which may result in a collision.

WARNING If you carry items inside your vehicle
(for example, suitcases, tools,
packages, or anything else), they are
moving as fast as the vehicle. If you
have to stop or turn quickly, or if there
is a crash, the items will keep going
and can cause an injury if they strike
the driver or a passenger.
• Put items in the cargo area of your vehicle. Try to spread the weight
evenly.
• Do not stack items, like suitcases, inside the vehicle above the tops of
the seats.
• Do not leave an unsecured child restraint in your vehicle.
• When you carry something inside the vehicle, secure it.

Trailer Towing
We do not recommend using this vehicle
for trailer towing.
