!
When attempting to rock your vehicle out of a stuck position, be sure that no one is near the vehicle. The rocking
motion may cause the vehicle to suddenly lurch forward or backward, possibly injuring bystanders.
Avoid revving the engine or spinning the wheels. Prolonged efforts to free a stuck vehicle may result in overheating
and transaxle failure.
If the vehicle remains stuck after several rocking attempts, have a towing service pull the vehicle out.

Since the fuel system may be under pressure,
remove the fuel tank filler cap slowly. This relieves
any pressure or vacuum that might have built up in
the fuel tank. If the cap is venting vapor or if you
hear a hissing sound, wait until it stops before
removing the cap. Otherwise, fuel may spray out,
injuring you or others.

Seat belt extender
N00406700162
When your seat belt, even fully extended, is not long enough, a
seat belt extender must be obtained. The extender may be used
for either of the front seats.
Seat belt use during pregnancy
N00406800105
Seat belts work for everyone, including pregnant women. Like
all occupants, pregnant women are more likely to be seriously
injured or killed in an accident if they do not wear seat belts.
WA R N I N G
!
The extender should only be used if the existing belt
is not long enough. Anyone who can use the stan-
dard seat belt should not use an extender. Unneces-
sary use of an extender can adversely affect seat belt
performance in an accident.
When not required, the extender must be removed
and stowed.
WA R N I N G
!
To reduce the risk of serious injury or death to preg-
nant women and unborn children in an accident,
pregnant women should always wear a seat belt. The
lap portion of the seat belt should be worn snug and
low across the hips and below the rounding. Consult
your doctor if you have any additional questions or
concerns.

3Break-in recommendations
N00508700255
Advanced automobile manufacturing techniques permit you to
operate your new vehicle without requiring a long break-in
period of low-speed driving.
However, you can add to the future performance and economy
of your vehicle by observing the following precautions during
the first 300 miles (500 km).
Drive your vehicle at moderate speeds during the break-in
period.

Avoid revving the engine.

Avoid rough driving such as fast starts, sudden accelera-
tion, prolonged high-speed driving and sudden braking.
These would have a detrimental effect on the engine and
also cause increased fuel and oil consumption, which
could result in malfunction of the engine components. Be
particularly careful to avoid full acceleration while in low
gear.

Do not overload the vehicle. Observe the seating capacity
(See “Cargo load precautions” on page 4-12).

Refrain from towing a trailer or other vehicle (See
“Trailer towing” on page 4-15).
Keys
N00508800474

WA R N I N G
!
Make sure all doors are tightly closed and locked
while driving.
• Locked doors, in combination with the use of seat
belts, can help reduce the risk of ejection in an
accident.
• Locked doors can help keep passengers, especially
small children, from opening doors and falling out
of moving vehicles.
• Locked doors can help prevent outsiders from
gaining access to your vehicle when you slow or
come to a stop.

Lock your vehicle whenever you leave it. Children
who get into unlocked vehicles may not be able to
get out. Children trapped inside vehicles can quickly
be overcome by heat and suffer serious injury or
death due to heat stroke.
Never leave children unattended inside a vehicle. In
addition to the risk of heat stroke, children can acti-
vate switches and controls, resulting in an injury or
fatal accident.
