Child restraint systems specifically designed for infants and small children are offered byseveral manufacturers. Choose only a child restraint system with a label certifying that it complies with Federal Motor Vehicle SafetyStandard 213 (FMVSS 213) or Motor Vehicle Restraint Systems and
Booster Seats Safety
Regulations (RSSR).
Look for the manufac-
turer’s statement of compliance on the box and child restraint system itself. The child restraint syst
em should be appropri-
ate for your child’s weight and height, and should properly fit your
vehicle’s seat.
For detailed information, refer to the instruc-tion manual accompanying the child restraint system. All children should be
properly restrained in
a restraint device that offers the maximumprotection for their size and age. Be sure to check local, state, or provincial requirements for child si
ze and age that may
vary from the recommendations listed below.  Children less than 1 year old and who weigh 22 pounds (10 kg) or less MUST ride in a rear-facing child safety seat thatMUST ONLY be used in the rear seat.
 Children older than 1 year of age and who weigh less than 40 pounds (18 kg) or whoare less than 40 inches (100 cm) tall must be in a forward-facing restraint used only in the rear seat. Children who weigh more than 40 pounds (18 kg) or who are more than 40 inches (100 cm) tall, regard
less of age, should
use a suitable child seat or a booster seat in the rear seat until
the vehicle’s lap-and-
shoulder belt fits
them properly.
Guidelines for child restraint system selection
WA R N I N G All children must be seated in the rear seat, and properly restrained. Accident statistics show that children of all sizes and ages are
safer when properly
restrained in the rear seat, rather than in the front seat. Be sure to select a child restraint system that is appropriate not only for the child’s size and age but also for your vehicle.Some child restraint systems may not fit your vehicle properly.
 Any child who is too large to use a child restraint system should ride in the rearseat and wear the lap-and-shoulder beltproperly. The shoulder belt must be posi- tioned over the should
er and across the
chest, not across their neck, and with thelap belt positioned low on the child’s hips, not across their stomach. If necessary, a booster seat should be
used to help achieve
a proper seat belt fit. Follow the booster seat manufacturer’s instructions. Only use a booster seat that is
certified as comply-
ing with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards or Motor Vehicle Restraint Sys- tems and Booster Seats Safety Regula-tions.  Never hold an infant
or child in your arms
or on your lap when ri
ding in this vehicle,
even when you are wearing your seat belt. Never place any part of the seat belt youare wearing around an infant or child. Failure to follow these simple instructions creates a risk of serious injury or death toyour child in the even
t of an accident or
sudden stop.WA R N I N G

WA R N I N G Your vehicle is also
equipped with a front
passenger’s airbag.Never put REAR-FACING CHILD RESTRAINT SYSTEMS or INFANT RESTRAINT SYSTEMS in the front pas-senger seat. This places the infant too close to the passenger’s airbag. During deployment of that airbag, the infant canbe seriously injured
or killed.
Rear-facing
child restraint systems or infant restraint systems must only be used in the rear seat.
WA R N I N G FRONT-FACING CHILD RESTRAINT SYSTEMS should be used in the rear seatwhenever possible. If one must be used in the front passenger seat, move the seat to the most rearward position and make surethe child stays in the child restraint sys- tem, properly restrained. Failure to follow these instructions could result in seriousinjury or death to the child.Airbag
WA R N I N G It is important to use an approved rear- facing infant restraint until the infant isone year old (unless
the infant outgrows
the seat sooner). This allows the infant’s neck and spine to de
velop enough to sup-
port the weight of their head in the eventof an accident. When installing a child restraint system, follow the instructions provided by the manufacturer and follow the directions in this manual. Failure to do so can result inserious injury or deat
h to your child in an
accident or sudden stop. After installation, push
and pull the child
restraint system back and forth, and side to side, to see that it is firmly secured. Ifthe child restraint system is not installed securely, it may cause injury to the child or other occupants in
the event of an acci-
dent or sudden stop. When not in use, keep your child restraint system secured with the seat belt, or remove it from the vehi
cle, in order to pre-
vent it from being
thrown around inside
the vehicle during an accident.

5. After confirming that the belt is locked, grab the shoulder part of the belt near thebuckle and pull up to remove any slack from the lap part of the belt allowing the slack to feed into the retractor. Remember,if the lap belt portion is not tight, the child restraint system will not be secure. It may help to put your weight on the childrestraint system and/or push on its seat- back while pulling up on the belt (See illustration). 6. Open the cover from the tether anchor installation point by
pulling it back with
your hand as illustrated below (6).
7. Latch the tether strap hook (A) of the child restraint system to the tether anchor(B) as illustrated below (7) and tighten the top tether strap so it is securely fastened. 8. Before putting your child in the restraint, push and pull the restra
int in all directions
to be sure it is firmly secure. Do this before each use. If
the child restraint sys-
tem is not firmly secure, repeat steps 1 through 7.
9. To remove a child restraint system from the vehicle and deactivate the ALR mode,remove the child from the restraint. Unlatch the buckle. Then remove the belt from the restraint and let the belt fullyretract.
10. Reinstall the head restraint.
Refer to “Head restraints” on page 4-5.

Children who have outgr
own a child restraint
system should be seated in the rear seat and wear the seat belt. If the shoulder belt crossestheir face or neck, and/
or the lap belt crosses
their stomach, a commercially available booster seat must be used to raise the child sothat the shoulder belt
crosses their shoulder
and the lap belt remains positioned low across their hips. The
booster seat should fit
the vehicle seat and have a label certifying compliance with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards or Mo
tor Vehicle Restraint
Systems and Booster Seats Safety Regula- tions.
If your child restraint system requires the use of a tether strap, fasten the tether strap in accordance with the following procedures.
WA R N I N G Child restraint system tether anchors are designed only to with
stand loads from cor-
rectly fitted child restraint systems. Underno circumstances are they to be used for adult seat belts, harn
esses, or for attach-
ing other items or equipment to the vehi-cle.

It is very importa
nt to know how much
weight your vehicle can carry. This weight iscalled the vehicle capacity weight and includes the weight of
all occupants, cargo,
non-factory-installed options, if any, beingtowed. The tire and load
ing information plac-
ard located on the driver’s door sill of your vehicle will show how
much weight it may
properly carry. It is important to familiarize yourself with the following terms before
loading your vehicle:
 Vehicle maximum load on the tire: load on an individual tire th
at is determined by
distributing to each ax
le its share of the
maximum loaded vehicle weight and dividing by two.  Vehicle normal load on the tire: load on an individual tire that is
determined by dis-
tributing to each axle its share of the curb weight, accessory
weight, and normal
occupant weight and dividing by two.  Maximum loaded vehicle weight: the sum of -(a) Curb weight; (b) Accessory weight; (c) Vehicle capacity weight; and(d) Production options weight.
Parking with the engine run- ning
WA R N I N G Leaving the engine ru
nning risks injury or
death from accidentally moving the gear-shift lever (manual transaxle) or the selec- tor lever (CVT) or from the accumulation of toxic exhaust fumes in the passengercompartment.
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 hotexhaust, since a fire could occur.
Do not keep the steering wheel fully turned for a long time When leaving the vehicle Loading information
WA R N I N G Never overload your ve
hicle. Overloading
can damage your vehicle, adversely affectvehicle performance, including handling and braking, cause tire failure, and result in an accident.

 Curb weight: the weight of a motor vehi- cle with standard e
quipment including the
maximum capacity of fuel, oil, and cool- ant.  Accessory weight: the combined weight (in excess of those
standard items which
may be replaced) of automatic transmis- sion, power steering, power brakes, powerwindows, power seats, radio, and heater, to the extent that these items are available as factory- installed equipment (whether installed or not).  Vehicle capacity weight: the rated cargo and luggage load plus 150 lbs (68 kg)
*
times the vehicle’s designated seating capacity. Production options weight: the combined weight of those inst
alled regular produc-
tion options weighing over 5 lbs (2.3 kg)in excess of those standard items which they replace, not previously considered in curb weight or acce
ssory weight, includ-
ing heavy duty brakes, ride levelers, roof rack, heavy duty battery
, and special trim.

1.Locate the statement “The com- bined weight of occupants and cargo should never exceed XXX kg or XXX lbs.” on your vehicle’splacard.2.Determine the combined weightof the driver and passengers thatwill be riding in your vehicle.3.Subtract the combined weight ofthe driver and passengers fromXXX kg or XXX lbs.4.The resulting figure equals theavailable amount of cargo andluggage load capacity. For exam- ple, if the “XXX” amount equals 1400 lbs. and th
ere will be five
150 lbs. passengers in your vehi- cle, the amount of available cargo and luggage load capacity is 650lbs. (1400 - 750 (5 x 150) = 650lbs.)
5.Determine the combined weightof luggage and cargo being loaded on the vehicle. That weight may not safely exceed the availablecargo 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 determinehow this reduces the available cargo 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.

Cargo loads Cargo load precautions
WA R N I N G To reduce the risk of serious injury or death, the combined weights of the driver,passengers and cargo and must neverexceed the vehicle capacity weight. Exceeding the vehicle capacity weight will adversely affect ve
hicle performance,
including handling and braking, and may cause an accident. Do not load cargo or luggage higher than the top of the seatback. Be sure that yourcargo or luggage cann
ot move when your
vehicle is in motion. Having either the re
ar view blocked, or
your cargo being thrown
inside the cabin
if you suddenly have to brake can cause a serious accident or
injury or death.
Put cargo or luggage in the cargo area of your vehicle. Try to spread the weightevenly.
Loading cargo on the roof
WA R N I N G Weight placed on the
roof of the vehicle
will raise the vehicle’
s center of gravity
and adversely affect
its handling charac-
teristics. As a result, driving errors oremergency maneuvers could lead to a loss of control and result in an accident. Drive slowly and avoid excessive maneuverssuch as sudden brak
ing or quick turning.
Make sure that the
weight of luggage and
the roof carrier do not exceed the maxi-mum roof load, 110 lb (50 kg). If the maxi-mum roof load is ex
ceeded, this could
cause damage to the ve
hicle or result in an
accident. The total weight of all occupants and lug- gage, including your r
oof load, must not
exceed the vehicle capacity weight. For more information, refer to “Tire and load- ing information placard” on page 11-3. Roof load is determined by adding the weight of the roof
carrier and the weight
of the luggage placed
on the roof carrier.
CAUTIONDo not load luggage directly onto the roof. Use a roof carrier that properly fits your vehicle. For installation, refer to the instruction man-ual provided with the roof carrier. Place the luggage on the carrier so that its weight is distri
buted evenly with the heaviest
items on the bottom. Do not load items that are wider than the roof carrier.WA R N I N G
