Introduction
No special break-in period is need-
ed. By following a few simple precau-
tions for the first 1,000 km (600
miles) you may add to the perform-
ance, economy and life of your vehi-
cle.
• Do not race the engine.
• While driving, keep your engine
speed (rpm, or revolutions per
minute) between 2,000 rpm and
4,000 rpm.
• Do not maintain a single speed for
long periods of time, either fast or
slow. Varying engine speed is
needed to properly break-in the
engine.
• Avoid hard stops, except in emer-
gencies, to allow the brakes to seat
properly.
• Don't tow a trailer during the first
2,000 km (1,200 miles) of opera-
tion.As with other vehicles of this type,
failure to operate this vehicle correct-
ly may result in loss of control, an
accident or vehicle rollover.
Specific design characteristics (high-
er ground clearance, track, etc.) give
this vehicle a higher center of gravity
than other types of vehicles. In other
words they are not designed for cor-
nering at the same speeds as con-
ventional 2-wheel drive vehicles.
Avoid sharp turns or abrupt maneu-
vers. Again, failure to operate this
vehicle correctly may result in loss of
control, an accident or vehicle
rollover.Be sure to read the
“Reducing the risk of a rollover”
driving guidelines, in section 5 of
this manual.

Safety features of your vehicle
22 3
Headrest (for rear seat)
The rear seat(s) is equipped with
headrests in all the seating positions
for the occupant's safety and com-
for t.
The headrest not only provides com-
fort for passengers, but also helps
protect the head and neck in the
event of a collision.
WARNING- Cargo
Cargo should always be
secured to prevent it from being
thrown about the vehicle in a
collision and causing injury to
the vehicle occupants. Do not
place objects in the rear (2nd
and/or 3rd row) seats, since they
cannot be properly secured and
may hit the front seat occupants
in a collision.
WARNING - Cargo loading
Make sure the engine is off, the
automatic transaxle is in P (Park)
or the manual transaxle is in R
(Reverse) or 1st, and the parking
brake is securely applied when-
ever loading or unloading cargo.
Failure to take these steps may
allow the vehicle to move if the
shift lever is inadvertently
moved to another position.

* if equipped
WARNING
• For maximum effectiveness in
case of an accident, the head-
rest should be adjusted so the
middle of the headrest is at
the same height as the center
of gravity of an occupant's
head. Generally, the center of
gravity of most people's head
is similar with the height of
the top of their eyes. Also
adjust the headrest as close
to your head as possible. For
this reason, the use of a cush-
ion that holds the body away
from the seatback is not rec-
ommended.

Safety features of your vehicle
• Just before impact, drivers often
brake heavily. Such heavy braking
lowers the front portion of the vehi-
cle causing it to “ride” under a vehi-
cle with a higher ground clearance.
Air bags may not inflate in this
"under-ride" situation because
deceleration forces that are detect-
ed by sensors may be significantly
reduced by such “under-ride” colli-
sions.• Front air bags may not inflate in
rollover accidents because front air
bag deployment would not provide
additional occupant protection.
✽NOTICE - if equipped with
rollover sensor
However, if equipped with side
impact and curtain air bags, the air
bags may inflate in a rollover, when
it is detected by the rollover sensor.
✽NOTICE - without rollover
sensor
However, side and/or curtain air
bags may inflate when the vehicle is
rolled over by a side impact colli-
sion, if the vehicle is equipped with
side impact air bags and curtain air
bags.

Features of your vehicle

Deadlocks (if equipped)
Some vehicles are equipped with a
deadlock system. Deadlocks prevent
opening of a door from either inside
or outside the vehicle once the dead-
locks have been activated providing
an additional measure of vehicle
security.
To lock the vehicle using the deadlock
function, the doors must be locked by
using the transmitter or smart key. To
unlock the vehicle, the transmitter or
smart key must be used again.
Door lock/unlock features
Impact sensing door unlock sys-
tem
All doors will automatically unlock
when an impact causes the air bags
to deploy.
Speed sensing door lock system
(if equipped)
All doors will automatically lock after
the vehicle speed exceeds 15 km/h.
You can activate or deactivate the
auto door lock/unlock features in the
vehicle. Refer to "User setting" in this
section.
WARNING
Do not lock the doors with the
transmitter or the smart key
with anybody left in the vehicle.
The passenger in the vehicle
cannot unlock the doors with
the door lock button. For exam-
ple, if the door is locked with
the transmitter, the passenger
in the vehicle cannot unlock the
door without the transmitter.
WARNING- Unlocked
vehicles
Leaving your vehicle unlocked
can invite theft or possible harm
to you or others from someone
hiding in your vehicle while you
are gone. Always remove the
ignition key, engage the parking
brake, close all windows and
lock all doors when leaving
your vehicle unattended.
WARNING- Unattended
children
An enclosed vehicle can
become extremely hot, causing
death or severe injury to unat-
tended children or animals who
cannot escape the vehicle.
Furthermore, children might
operate features of the vehicle
that could injure them, or they
could encounter other harm,
possibly from someone gaining
entry to the vehicle. Never leave
children or animals unattended
in your vehicle.
