Driving the vehicle
The following procedures 
should be observed to 
ensure safe driving:
Driving procedure 
Page 176 of 728

1764-1. Before driving
WA R N I N G
●Always apply the parking brake, 
shift the shift lever to P, stop the 
engine and lock the vehicle.
Do not leave the vehicle unat-
tended while the engine is run-
ning.
If the vehicle is parked with the 
shift lever in P but the parking 
brake is not set, the vehicle may 
start to move, possibly leading 
to an accident.
●Do not touch the exhaust pipes 
while the engine is running or 
immediately after turning the 
engine off.
Doing so may cause burns.
■When taking a nap in the vehi-
cle
Always turn the engine off. Other-
wise, if you accidentally move the 
shift lever or dep ress the acceler-
ator pedal, this could cause an 
accident or fire due to engine 
overheating. Additionally, if the 
vehicle is parked  in a poorly venti-
lated area, exhaust gases may 
collect and enter the vehicle, lead-
ing to death or a serious health 
hazard.
■When braking
●When the brakes a re wet, drive 
more cautiously.
Braking distance increases 
when the brakes  are wet, and 
this may cause one side of the 
vehicle to brake differently than 
the other side. Also, the parking 
brake may not securely hold the 
vehicle.
●If the brake booster device does 
not operate, do not follow other 
vehicles closely and avoid hills 
or sharp turns t hat require brak-
ing.
In this case, braking is still pos-
sible, but the brake pedal 
should be depressed more 
firmly than usual. Also, the brak-
ing distance will increase. Have 
your brakes fixed immediately.
●Do not pump the brake pedal if 
the engine stalls.
Each push on the brake pedal 
uses up the reserve for the 
power-assisted brakes.
●The brake system consists of 2 
individual hydraulic systems; if 
one of the systems fails, the 
other will still ope rate. In this 
case, the brake pedal should be 
depressed more firmly than 
usual and the braking distance 
will increase. Have your brakes 
fixed immediately.
■If the vehicle becomes stuck 
(AWD models)
Do not spin the  wheels exces-
sively when any of the tires is up 
in the air, or the vehicle is stuck in 
sand, mud, etc. This may damage 
the driveline components or pro-
pel the vehicle forward or back-
ward, causing an accident.
NOTICE
■When driving the vehicle
●Do not depress the accelerator 
and brake pedals at the same 
time during driving, as this may 
restrain the engine output.
●Do not use the accelerator 
pedal or depress the accelera-
tor and brake pedals at the 
same time to hold the vehicle on 
a hill.

Cargo capacity depends on the 
total weight of the occupants.
(Cargo capacity) = (Total load 
capacity) - (Total weight of occu-
pants)
Steps for Determining Cor-
rect Load Limit 
(1) Locate the statement “The 
combined weight of occupants 
and cargo should never exceed 
XXX kg or XXX lbs.” on your 
vehicle’s placard.
(2) Determine the combined 
weight of the driver and passen-
gers that will be riding in your 
vehicle.
(3) Subtract the combined 
weight of the driver and passen-
gers from XXX kg or XXX lbs.
(4) The resulting figure equals 
the available amount of cargo 
and luggage load capacity.
Cargo and luggage
Take notice of the following 
information about storage 
precautions, cargo capacity 
and load.
WA R N I N G
■Things that must not be car-
ried in the luggage compart-
ment
The following things may cause a 
fire if loaded in the luggage com-
partment:
●Receptacles co ntaining gaso-
line
●Aerosol cans
■Storage precautions
Observe the following precau-
tions.
Failure to do so m ay prevent the 
pedals from be ing depressed 
properly, may block the driver’s 
vision, or may result in items hit-
ting the driver or passengers, pos-
sibly causing an accident.
●Stow cargo and luggage in the 
luggage compartment when-
ever possible.
●Do not stack anything in the lug-
gage compartment higher than 
the seatbacks.
●Do not place cargo or luggage 
in or on the follo wing locations.
• At the feet of the driver
• On the front passenger or rear  seats (when stacking items)
• On the luggage cover (if  equipped)
• On the instrument panel
• On the dashboard
●Secure all items in the occupant 
compartment.
●When you fold down the rear 
seats, long items should not be 
placed directly behind the front 
seats.
●Never allow anyon e to ride in 
the luggage compartment. It is 
not designed for passengers. 
They should ride in their seats 
with their seat belts properly 
fastened. Otherw ise, they are 
much more likely to suffer death 
or serious bodily injury, in the 
event of sudden braking, sud-
den swerving or an accident.
