VANITY MIRROR (where fitted)
To use the front vanity mirror, pull down the sun
visor and pull up the cover. WARNING
• Never drive the vehicle with the parking brake
applied. The brake will overheat and fail to
operate and will lead to an accident.
• Never release the parking brake from outside
the vehicle. If the vehicle moves, it will be
impossible to push the brake pedal and will
lead to an accident.
• Never use the shift lever in place of the park-
ing brake. When parking, be sure the parking
brake is fully applied.
• To help avoid risk of injury or death through
unintended operation of the vehicle and/or its
systems, do not leave children, people who
require the assistance of others, or pets unat-
tended in your vehicle. Additionally, the tem-
perature inside
aclosed vehicle on awarm
day can quickly become high enough to cause
as ignificant risk of injury or death to people
and pets. To apply the parking brake, pull the parking brake
lever up
➀.
To release the parking brake, depress and hold the
foot brake pedal. Pull up the parking brake lever
slightly, push the button ➁and lower the lever com-
pletely ➂.
Before driving, be sure that the brake warning light
has turned off. SIC3869Z SP A2110Z

During the first 1,600 km (1,000 miles), follow these
recommendations to obtain maximum engine per-
formance and ensure the future reliability and
economy of your new vehicle. Failure to follow these
recommendations may result in shortened engine
life and reduced engine performance.
• Do not drive at
aconstant speed, either fast or
slow, for long periods of time.
• Do not run the engine over 4,000 rpm.
• Do not accelerate at full throttle in any gear.
• Do not start quickly.
• Do not brake hard as much as possible.
• Do not tow
atrailer for at least the first 800 km
(500 miles). WARNING
The driving characteristics of your vehicle will
change remarkably by any additional load and its
distribution, as well as by adding optional equip-
ment (trailer coupling, roof rail, etc.). Your driv-
ing style and speed must be adjusted according
to the circumstances. Especially when carrying
heavy loads, your speed must be reduced ad-
equately.
• Make sure the area around the vehicle is clear.
• Check fluid levels such as engine oil, coolant,
brake (and clutch) fluid, window washer fluid as
frequently as possible, at least whenever you
refuel.
• Visually inspect tyres for their appearance and
condition. Measure and check the tyre pressure
for proper inflation.
• Check that all windows and lights are clean.
• Adjust the seat and head restraint positions.
• Adjust the inside and outside rearview mirror po-
sitions.
• Fasten your seat belt and ask all passengers to
do the same.
• Check that all doors are closed.
• Check the operation of the warning lights when
the ignition switch is placed in the “ON” position. •
Maintenance items in the “8. Maintenance and
do-it-yourself” section should be checked peri-
odically.
RUNNING-IN SCHEDULE
BEFORE STARTING ENGINE
5-2 Starting and driving

•
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 vehicle.
• Stay alert when driving to the top of
ahill. At
the top there could be adrop-off or other haz-
ard that could cause an accident.
• If your engine stalls or you cannot make it to
the top of
asteep 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) or with
the clutch pedal depressed (MT model) using
only the brake, as this could cause loss of
control.
• Heavy braking going down
ahill could cause
your brakes to overheat and fade, resulting in
loss of control and an accident. Apply brakes
lightly and use alow 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 centre of gravity exces-
sively, do not exceed the rated capacity of the
roof rail (where fitted) and evenly distribute
the load. Secure heavy loads in the cargo area
as far forward and as low as possible. Do not
equip the vehicle with tyres larger than speci-
fied in this manual. This could cause your ve-
hicle to roll over.
• Do not grip the inside or spokes of the steer-
ing wheel when driving 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.
• Before operating the vehicle, ensure that the
driver and all passengers have their seat belts
fastened.
• Always drive with the floor mats in place as
the floor may became hot.
• Lower your speed when encountering strong
crosswinds. With
ahigher centre of gravity,
your vehicle is more affected by strong side
winds. Slower speeds ensure better vehicle
control.
• Do not drive beyond the performance capabil-
ity of the tyres, even with 4WD engaged.
• Do not attempt to raise two wheels off the
ground and shift the transmission to any drive
or reverse position with the engine running.
Doing so may result in drivetrain damage or unexpected vehicle movement which could
result in serious vehicle damage or personal
injury.
• Do not attempt to test
a4WD equipped ve-
hicle on a2-wheel dynamometer or similar
equipment even if the other two wheels are
raised off the ground. Make sure you inform
test facility personnel that your vehicle is
equipped with 4WD before it is placed on a dynamometer. Using the wrong test equip-
ment may result in drivetrain damage or unex-
pected vehicle movement which could result
in serious vehicle damage or personal injury.
• When
awheel is off the ground due to an
unlevel surface, do not spin the wheel exces-
sively.
• Accelerating quickly, sharp steering manoeu-
vres or sudden braking may cause loss of con-
trol.
• If at all possible, avoid sharp turning manoeu-
vres, particularly at high speeds. Your vehicle
has
ahigher centre of gravity than aconven-
tional passenger car. The vehicle is not de-
signed for cornering at the same speeds as
conventional passenger cars. Failure to oper- ate this vehicle correctly could result in loss
of control and/or arollover accident.
• Always use tyres of the same type, size, brand,
construction (bias, bias-belted or radial), and
tread pattern on all four wheels. Install tyre
chains on the rear wheels when driving on
slippery roads and drive carefully.
