sunroof, you can slide or tilt your
sunroof with the sunroof control lever
located on the overhead console (1).
The sunroof can only be opened,
closed, or tilted when the ignition
switch is in the ON position.

sunroof is not fully closed, the warn-
ing chime will sound for approximate-
ly 7 seconds.
Close the sunroof securely when
leaving your vehicle.
✽ ✽NOTICE
• In cold and wet climates, the sun-

freezing conditions.
• After a vehicle is washed or in a rainstorm be sure to wipe off any
water that is on the sunroof before
operating it.
✽ ✽ NOTICE

roof, be sure not to position cargo
onto the roof rack in such a way that
it could interfere with sunroof oper-
ation.
When carrying large objects on the
roof rack, make sure they do not
exceed the overall roof length or
width.
When you are carrying cargo on the roof rack, do not operate the
sunroof (if equipped).
The following specification is the maximum weight that can be
loaded onto the roof rack.
Distribute the load as evenly as
possible on the roof rack and
secure the load firmly.

Features of your vehicle
Loading cargo or luggage in excess
of the specified weight limit on the
roof rack may damage your vehicle.
Severe wind updrafts, caused by
passing vehicles or natural causes,
can cause sudden upward pressure
on items loaded on the roof rack.
This is especially true when carrying
large, flat items such as wood panels
or mattresses.This could cause the items to fall off
the roof rack and cause damage to
your vehicle or others around you.
To prevent damage or loss of cargo
while driving, check frequently
before or while driving to make sure
the items on the roof rack are
securely fastened.
WARNING- Driving withroof load
Always drive slow and turn cor-
ners carefully when carrying
items on the roof rack. The vehi-
cle center of gravity will be
higher when items are loaded
onto the roof rack.

NOTICE
If you install an after market HID
head lamp, your vehicle’s audio and
electronic device may malfunction.
Antenna
Type A, B
Your vehicle uses a roof antenna to
receive both AM and FM broadcast
signals.
This antenna is removable. To
remove the roof antenna, turn it
counterclockwise. To install the roof
antenna, turn it clockwise. Type C
Your vehicle uses a roof antenna to
receive both AM and FM broadcast
signals.
• Before entering a place with a low
height clearance or a car wash,
remove the antenna by rotating it
counter-clockwise. If not, the
antenna may be damaged.
When reinstalling your roof anten- na, it is important that it is fully
tightened and adjusted to the
upright position to ensure proper
reception. But it could be removed
when parking the vehicle or when
loading cargo on the roof rack.
When cargo is loaded on the roof rack, do not place the cargo near
the antenna pole to ensure proper
reception.

SPECIAL DRIVING CONDITIONS
E110100AHM
Hazardous driving conditions
When hazardous driving conditions
are encountered such as water,
snow, ice, mud, sand, or similar haz-
ards, follow these suggestions:
Drive cautiously and allow extra
distance for braking.
Avoid sudden braking or steering.
When braking with non-ABS brakes pump the brake pedal with
a light up-and-down motion until
the vehicle is stopped.
Do not pump the brake pedal on a
vehicle equipped with ABS. If stalled in snow, mud, or sand,
use second gear. Accelerate slow-
ly to avoid spinning the drive
wheels.
Use sand, rock salt, or other non- slip material under the drive
wheels to provide traction when
stalled in ice, snow, or mud.
E170800AHM
Reducing the risk of a rollover
This multi-purpose passenger vehicle
is defined as a Sports Utility Vehicle
(SUV). SUV’s have higher ground
clearance and a narrower track to make
them capable of performing in a wide
variety of off-road applications. Specific
design characteristics give them a high-
er center of gravity than ordinary vehi-
cles. An advantage of the higher
ground clearance is a better view of the
road, which allows you to anticipate
problems. They are not designed for
cornering at the same speeds as con-
ventional passenger vehicles, any
more than low-slung sports vehicles
are designed to perform satisfactorily in
off-road conditions. Due to this risk,
driver and passengers are strongly rec-
ommended to buckle their seat belts. In
a rollover crash, an unbelted person is
more likely to die than a person wear-
ing a seat belt. There are steps that a
driver can make to reduce the risk of a
rollover. If at all possible, avoid sharp
turns or abrupt maneuvers, do not load
your roof rack with heavy cargo, and
never modify your vehicle in any way.
WARNING- Downshifting
Do not downshift with an auto-
matic transaxle while driving on
slippery surfaces. The sudden
change in tire speed could
cause the tires to skid and
result in an accident.

Occupant Distribution: Designated
seating positions.
Outward Facing Sidewall: The side
of a asymmetrical tire that has a par-
ticular side that faces outward when
mounted on a vehicle. The outward
facing sidewall bears white lettering
or bears manufacturer, brand, and/or
model name molding that is higher or
deeper than the same moldings on
the inner facing sidewall.
Passenger (P-Metric) Tire : A tire
used on passenger cars and some
light duty trucks and multipurpose
vehicles.
Ply: A layer of rubber-coated parallel
cords
Pneumatic tire: A mechanical
device made of rubber, chemicals,
fabric and steel or other materials,
that, when mounted on an automo-
tive wheel, provides the traction and
contains the gas or fluid that sustains
the load.
Production options weight: The
combined weight of installed regular
production options weighing over 5
lb.(2.3 kg) in excess of the standard
items which they replace, not previ- ously considered in curb weight or
accessory weight, including heavy
duty brakes, ride levelers, roof rack,
heavy duty battery, and special trim.
Recommended Inflation Pressure
:
Vehicle manufacturer's recommend-
ed tire inflation pressure and shown
on the tire placard.
Radial Ply Tire : A pneumatic tire in
which the ply cords that extend to the
beads are laid at 90 degrees to the
centerline of the tread.
Rim: A metal support for a tire and
upon which the tire beads are seat-
ed.
Sidewall: The portion of a tire
between the tread and the bead.
Speed Rating: An alphanumeric
code assigned to a tire indicating the
maximum speed at which a tire can
operate.
Traction: The friction between the
tire and the road surface. The
amount of grip provided.
Tread: The portion of a tire that
comes into contact with the road. Treadwear Indicators: Narrow
bands, sometimes called "wear
bars," that show across the tread of a
tire when only 2/32 inch of tread
remains.
UTQGS: Uniform Tire Quality
Grading Standards, a tire information
system that provides consumers with
ratings for a tire's traction, tempera-
ture and treadwear. Ratings are
determined by tire manufacturers
using government testing proce-
dures. The ratings are molded into
the sidewall of the tire.
Vehicle Capacity Weight
: The num-
ber of designated seating positions
multiplied by 68 kg (150 lbs.) plus the
rated cargo and luggage load.
Vehicle Maximum Load on the
Tire: Load on an individual tire due to
curb and accessory weight plus
maximum occupant and cargo
weight.
Vehicle Normal Load on the Tire :
Load on an individual tire that is
determined by distributing to each
axle its share of the curb weight,
accessory weight, and normal occu-
pant weight and driving by 2.
