The direction of the headlight beam (thedirection in which the light shines) alters according to the number of people and theload in the vehicle. Lower the headlight angle if it is too high due to the number of people and/or the load in the vehicle so that the head-lights’ glare does not distract the drivers of approaching vehicles. First set the combina- tion headlights and di
mmer switch to the
“ ” position, then turn the headlight level- ing switch knob to lower the beam. The greater the number on the headlight leveling switch knob, the lower the beam will point.Set the switch to the appropriate position so that the headlight beam is level with the road.

When parking on a hill, set the parking brake, and turn the front wheels toward the curb on adownhill, or away from the curb on an uphill. If necessary, apply chocks to wheels. Place the gearshift lever into the “R” (Reverse) position when parking on a down-hill slope, into the 1s
t position when parking
on an uphill slope. Be sure that the parking brake is firmly set when parked and that the selector lever(CVT) or gearshift lever (Twin Clutch SST) is in the “P” (PARK) position. When parking on a hill, it is important to setthe parking brake before moving the selector lever (CVT) or gearshift lever (Twin Clutch
SST) to the “P” (PARK) position. This pre- vents loading the parking brake against the transaxle gear. When this happens, it is diffi- cult to move the selector lever (CVT) or gear-shift lever (Twin Clutch SST) out of the “P” (PARK) position. Never leave the engi
ne running while you
take a short sleep/rest. Also, never leave the engine running in a closed or poorly venti-lated place. Your front bumper can be damaged if you scrape it over curbs or parking stop blocks. Be careful when traveling up or down steepslopes where your bumper can scrape the road.
When leaving the vehicle unattended, always carry the key and lock all doors. Always try to park your vehicle in a well litarea.

It is very important to know how muchweight your vehicle can carry. This weight is called the vehicle capacity weight and includes the weight of all occupants, cargoand non-factory-installed options. The tire and loading information placard located on the driver’s door sill of your vehicle willshow how much weight it may properly carry.
Parking Parking on a hill For vehicles with manual trans- axle For vehicles with continuously variable transmission (CVT) or Twin Clutch SST
Parking with the engine run- ning
WA R N I N G Leaving the engine running risks injury or death from accidentally moving the gear- shift lever (manual transaxle or Twin Clutch SST) or the selector lever (CVT) orfrom the accumulation of toxic exhaust fumes in the passenger compartment.
Where you park
WA R N I N G Do not park your vehicle in areas where combustible materials such as dry grass or leaves can come in contact with a hot exhaust, since a fire could occur.
When leaving the vehicle Loading information
WA R N I N G Never overload your vehicle. Overloading can damage your vehicle, adversely affect vehicle performance, including handlingand braking, cause tire failure, and result in an accident.

1.Locate the statement “The com- bined weight of occupants andcargo 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 exam-ple, if the “XXX” amount equals 1400 lbs. and there will be five 150 lbs. passengers in your vehi-cle, the amount of available cargo and luggage load capacity is 650 lbs. (1400 - 750 (5 x 150) =650 lbs.)
5.Determine the combined weightof luggage and cargo being loaded on the vehicle. That weight may not safely exceed the available cargo and luggage load capacitycalculated in Step 4.6.If your vehicle will be towing atrailer, load from your trailer willbe transferred to your vehicle. Consult this manual to determine how this reduces the availablecargo and luggage load capacity of your vehicle.
Steps for Determining Correct Load Limit
NOTE
The above steps for determining correct load limit were written in accordance with U.S.A. regula-tions. Your vehicle cannot tow a trailer, so step 6 is irrelevant.
