WARNING
.Always be sure the liftgate has
been closed securely to prevent it
from opening while driving.
. Do not drive with the liftgate
open. This could allow dangerous
exhaust gases to be drawn into
the vehicle. For additional infor-
mation, refer to “Exhaust gas
(carbon monoxide)” (P.5-5).
. To help avoid risk of injury or
death through unintended opera-
tion of the vehicle and or its
systems, including entrapment
in windows or inadvertent door
lock activation, do not leave chil-
dren, people who require the
assistance of others or pets un-
attended in your vehicle. Addi-
tionally, the temperature inside a
closed vehicle on a warm day can
quickly become high enough to
cause a significant risk of injury
or death to people and pets.
. Always be sure that hands and
feet are clear of the door frame to
avoid injury while closing the
liftgate.
CAUTION
Do not use accessory carriers that
attach to the liftgate. Doing so will

.For models with motion-activated
liftgate: When washing, waxing or
maintaining your vehicle, placing or
replacing the body cover, or splash-
ing water to the area around the kick
motion sensor, turn off the power
liftgate.

filler opening slowly and fully. Insert the
nozzle of the portable fuel container into
the opening along the funnel and fill the
fuel tank.
After refueling, remove the funnel from
the fuel-filler opening. Wipe the funnel
clean and return it to the tool bag.
CAUTION
.Do not insert the nozzle of the
portable fuel container directly
into the fuel-filler opening. Doing
so may damage the opening and
the fuel system.
. Use only the funnel provided with
your vehicle. Otherwise, the fuel-
filler opening and the fuel system
may be damaged.
WARNING
.Do not adjust the steering wheel
while driving. You could lose con-
trol of your vehicle and cause an
accident.
. Do not adjust the steering wheel
any closer to you than is neces-
sary for proper steering opera-
tion and comfort. The driver’s air
bag inflates with great force. If
you are unrestrained, leaning for-
ward, sitting sideways or out of
position in any way, you are at
greater risk of injury or death in a
crash. You may also receive ser-
ious or fatal injuries from the air
bag if you are up against it when
it inflates. Always sit back against
the seatback and as far away as
practical from the steering wheel.
Always use the seat belts.

WARNING
.Do not leave children or adults
who would normally require the
support of others alone in your
vehicle. Pets should not be left
alone either. They could acciden-
tally injure themselves or others
through inadvertent operation of
the vehicle. Also, on hot, sunny
days, temperatures in a closed
vehicle could quickly become
high enough to cause severe or
possibly fatal injuries to people or
animals.
. Properly secure all cargo with
ropes or straps to help prevent it
from sliding or shifting. Do not
place cargo higher than the seat-
backs. In a sudden stop or colli-
sion, unsecured cargo could
cause personal injury.
EXHAUST GAS (carbon monoxide)
WARNING
.Do not breathe exhaust gas; it
contains colorless and odorless
carbon monoxide. Carbon mon- oxide is dangerous. It can cause
unconsciousness or death.
. If you suspect that exhaust fumes
are entering the vehicle, drive
with all windows fully open, and
have the vehicle inspected imme-
diately.
. Do not run the engine in closed
spaces such as a garage.
. Do not park the vehicle with the
engine running for an extended
period of time.
. Keep the liftgate closed while
driving, otherwise exhaust gas
could be drawn into the passen-
ger compartment. If you must
drive with the liftgate open, fol-
low these precautions:
— Open all the windows.
— Turn the air recirculation
mode off and set the fan
speed control to the highest
level to circulate the air.
. If a special body or other equip-
ment is added for recreational or
other usage, follow the manufac-
turer’s recommendation to pre-
vent carbon monoxide entry into
the vehicle. (Some recreational
vehicle appliances such as stoves, refrigerators, heaters, etc. may
also generate carbon monoxide.)
. If electrical wiring or other cable
connections must pass to a trailer
through the seal on the liftgate or
the body, follow the manufac-
turer’s recommendation to pre-
vent carbon monoxide entry into
the vehicle.
. The exhaust system and body
should be inspected by a quali-
fied mechanic whenever:
— Your vehicle is raised while
being serviced.
— You suspect that exhaust fumes are entering into the
passenger compartment.
— You notice a change in the sound of the exhaust system.
— You have had an accident involving damage to the ex-
haust system, underbody, or
rear of the vehicle.

PRECAUTIONS WHEN STARTING
AND DRIVING

5-12Starting and driving
alcohol affects all people differently and
most people underestimate the effects of
alcohol.
Remember, drinking and driving don’t
mix! And that is true for drugs, too (over-
the-counter, prescription, and illegal
drugs). Don’t drive if your ability to oper-
ate your vehicle is impaired by alcohol,
drugs, or some other physical condition.
DRIVING SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Your vehicle is designed for both normal
and off-road use. However, avoid driving
in deep water or mud as your vehicle is
mainly designed for leisure use, unlike a
conventional off-road vehicle.
Remember that Two-Wheel Drive (2WD)
models are less capable than All-Wheel
Drive (AWD) models for rough road driving
and extrication when stuck in deep snow,
mud, or the like.
Please observe the following precautions:
WARNING
.Drive carefully when off the road
and avoid dangerous areas. Every
person who drives or rides in this
vehicle should be seated with
their seat belt fastened. This will
keep you and your passengers in position when driving over rough
terrain.
. Do not drive across steep slopes.
Instead drive either straight up or
straight down the slopes. Off-
road vehicles can tip over side-
ways much more easily than they
can forward or backward.
. Many hills are too steep for any
vehicle. If you drive up them, you
may stall. If you drive down them,
you may not be able to control
your speed. If you drive across
them, you may roll over.
. Do not shift ranges while driving
on downhill grades as this could
cause loss of control of the vehi-
cle.
. Stay alert when driving to the top
of a hill. At the top there could be
a drop-off or other hazard that
could cause an accident.
. If your engine stalls or you cannot
make it to the top of a steep hill,
never attempt to turn around.
Your vehicle could tip or roll over.
Always back straight down in R
(Reverse) range. Never back down
in N (Neutral), using only the
brake, as this could cause loss of
control. .
Heavy braking going down a hill
could cause your brakes to over-
heat and fade, resulting in loss of
control and an accident. Apply
brakes lightly and use a low
range to control your speed.
. Unsecured cargo can be thrown
around when driving over rough
terrain. Properly secure all cargo
so it will not be thrown forward
and cause injury to you or your
passengers.
. To avoid raising the center of
gravity excessively, do not exceed
the rated capacity of the roof rack
(if so equipped) and evenly dis-
tribute the load. Secure heavy
loads in the cargo area as far
forward and as low as possible.
Do not equip the vehicle with tires
larger than specified in this man-
ual. This could cause your vehicle
to roll over.
. Do not grip the inside or spokes
of the steering wheel when driv-
ing off-road. The steering wheel
could move suddenly and injure
your hands. Instead drive with
your fingers and thumbs on the
outside of the rim.
