When trying to rock your vehicle out of a stuck position, make sure that there are no people nearby. 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 your vehicle is still stuck after several rocking attempts, call for help.

1Filling the fuel tank
N00301100896
Fuel tank capacityAll-wheel drive vehicles: 15.8 gal (60 L)
Front-wheel drive vehicles: 16.6 gal (63 L)Refueling1. Before filling with fuel, stop the engine.
2. The fuel tank filler is located on the rear driver side of
your vehicle.
The fuel tank filler door can be opened from inside the
vehicle with the fuel tank filler door release lever located
at the left side of the driver’s seat.
WA R N I N G
!
Gasoline is highly flammable and explosive. You
could be burned, seriously injured or killed when
handling it. When refueling your vehicle, always
turn the engine off and keep away from flames,
sparks, and smoking materials. Always handle fuel
in well-ventilated outdoor areas.
Before removing the fuel tank filler cap, be sure to
get rid of your body’s static electricity by touching a
metal part of the car or fuel pump. Any static elec-
tricity on your body could create a spark that ignites
fuel vapor.
Perform the whole refueling process (opening the
fuel tank filler door, removing the fuel cap, etc.) by
yourself; do not let any other person near the fuel
tank filler. If you allowed a person to help you and
that person was carrying static electricity, fuel vapor
could be ignited.
Do not move away from the fuel tank filler until
refueling is finished. If you moved away and did
something else (for example, sitting on a seat) part-
way through the refueling process, you could pick
up a fresh charge of static electricity.
Be careful not to inhale fuel vapor. Fuel contains
toxic substances.
Keep the doors and windows closed while refueling
the vehicle. If they were open, fuel vapor could get
into the cabin.

Seat and restraint systems
2-3
2 Seats and restraint systems
N00401600153
Your vehicle has seat belts and other features that help protect
you and your passengers in an accident.
Seat belts are the most important safety device. When worn
properly, seat belts can reduce the chance of serious injury or
death in various types of crashes. For added protection during a
severe frontal collision, your vehicle has a Supplemental
Restraint System (SRS) with airbags for the driver and passen-
gers. The seats, head restraints, and door locks also are safety
equipment, which must be used correctly.
Always check the following before you drive:

That everyone in your vehicle is properly wearing their
seat belt.

That infants and small children are properly secured in
appropriate child restraint systems in the rear seat.

That all doors are fully closed and locked.

That seatbacks are upright, with head restraints properly
adjusted.
Safety equipment cannot prevent injury or death in all motor
vehicle accidents. You can help reduce the risk of injury or
death, however, by following the instructions in this manual.
Front seats
N00401800373
Position the driver’s seat as far back as possible while main-
taining a position that still enables you to fully apply the ped-
als, easily control the steering wheel and safely operate the
vehicle.

WA R N I N G
!
Do not attempt to adjust the seat while driving. This
can cause loss of vehicle control and result in an
accident.
After adjusting the seat, make sure that it is securely
locked into position.
To reduce the risk to the driver of serious injury or
death during deployment of the driver’s airbag,
always properly wear the seat belt and adjust the
driver’s seat as far back as possible while maintain-
ing a position that still enables you to fully apply the
pedals, easily control the steering wheel, and safely
operate the vehicle.
To reduce the risk to the front passenger of serious
injury or death during deployment of the passen-
ger’s airbag, always properly wear the seat belt and
adjust the front passenger’s seat as far back as pos-
sible.
Always place children 12 years old and under in the
rear seat and use appropriate child restraint sys-
tems.
CAUTION
!
Make sure that the seat is adjusted by an adult. If it
is adjusted by a child, an unexpected accident might
occur.
Do not place a cushion or the like between your back
and the seatback while driving. The effectiveness of
the head restraints will be reduced in the event of an
accident.
When sliding the seats, be careful not to catch your
hand or leg.
When sliding or reclining the seat rearward, pay
careful attention to the rear seat passengers.

5. After making sure that the seat belt is not twisted, insert
the small latch plate (E) into the detachable anchor (F)
aligning the marks (G) on the plate and buckle until a
“click” is heard. Make sure the detachable anchor is
securely latched and seat belt is not twisted. For details,
refer to page 2-23.
Seat belts
N00406000442
Seat belts are installed in your vehicle to help reduce the risk of
injury to the driver and passenger in the event of an accident.
Always use the provided seat belts.
Carefully review the following information for proper seat belt
usage.
WA R N I N G
!
Using the rear center seat belt with the detachable
anchor unlatched increases the risk of serious injury
or death in an accident. Make sure the detachable
anchor is properly latched.
WA R N I N G
!
To help reduce the risk of injury or death in an acci-
dent, seat belts and child restraint systems must
always be used. Refer to “Child restraint systems”
on page 2-31 for additional information.
Never use one seat belt for more than one person.
Never carry more people in your vehicle than there
are seat belts.
Always adjust the seat belt for a snug fit.
Always place the shoulder belt over your shoulder
and across your chest. Never put it behind you or
under your arm.
Always wear the lap belt as low as possible across
your hips, not around your waist.
Never modify or alter the seat belts in your vehicle.
To reduce the risk to the driver of serious injury or
death during deployment of the driver’s airbag,
always properly wear the seat belt and adjust the
driver’s seat as far back as possible while maintain-
ing a position that still enables you to fully apply the
pedals, easily control the steering wheel, and safely
operate the vehicle.

1. Occupants should always sit back in their seats with their
backs against the upright seatback. To reduce the risk of
serious injury or death during deployment of the airbag,
adjust the driver’s seat as far back as possible while main-
taining a position that still enables you to fully apply the
pedals, easily control the steering wheel, and safely oper-
ate the vehicle. The front passenger seat should also be
moved as far back as possible. Refer to “Supplemental
Restraint System (SRS) - airbag” on page 2-43. Also refer
to “To adjust the seat forward or backward” on page 2-5.
WA R N I N G
!
To reduce the risk of serious injury or death in the
event of an accident or sudden stop, all seatbacks
should be kept in the upright position while the vehi-
cle is in motion.
Seat belt performance during an accident can be
adversely affected if the seatbacks are reclined. The
more a seatback is reclined, the more likely seat belt
performance will be adversely affected. If the seat
belt is not properly positioned against the body dur-
ing an accident, there is increased risk you will slide
under the belt and receive serious injury or death.
