CAUTION
■Tumbling the second seats
●In order to prevent personal injury in a collision or sudden stop, do not
allow passengers to sit in the third seats when a second seat is tumbled.
● When tumbling the second seats, fix the seats securely by adjusting the
length of the seat's holding strap.
● Do not attach the holding strap to anything other than the assist grip to
hold the second seat.
● The holding strap must be stowed into the pocket when it is not in use.
■ Removing the second seats
●Do not leave a seat in the vehicle if it has been disengaged from the floor.
● Do not sit on or place anything on a seat that has been removed from the\
vehicle.
■ Stowing the third seats
●Make sure that the seat path is clear before moving the seat. Otherwise,
injury may result from contact with, or by being pinched by parts of the
seat.
● Manual third seats: Do not sit on the third seat when it is in the stowed
position with the seatback upright.
● Power third seats: Do not continue the stowing operation when the indica-
tor above the stowing switch and returning switch comes on or flashes. An
object or a person may be caught in the seat.
● Power third seats: During the stowing operation, to prevent the vehicle
from moving, do not shift the shift lever out of P with the engine switch in
the “ON” position.

224 2-5. Driving information
CAUTION
■Roof luggage carrier precautions
When you load cargo on the roof luggage carrier, observe the following:
●Place the cargo so that its weight is distributed evenly between the
front and rear axles.
●If loading long or wide cargo, never exceed the vehicle overall length
or width. (P. 542)
●Before driving, make sure the cargo is securely fastened on the roof
luggage carrier.
●Loading cargo on the r oof luggage carrier will make the center of the
vehicle gravity higher. Avoid high speeds, sudden starts, sharp turns,
sudden braking or abrupt maneuvers, otherwise it may result in loss of
control or vehicle rollover due to failure to operate this vehicle cor-
rectly.
●If driving for a long distance, on rough roads, or at high speeds, stop
the vehicle now and then during the trip to make sure the cargo
remains in its place.
●Do not exceed 150 lb. (68 kg) cargo weight on the roof luggage carrier.
■Cross rail adjustment
Make sure the cross rails are locked securely by pushing forward and
rearward them.
Failure to do so may cause an unexpected accident or severe injury in
the event of emergency braking or a collision.
NOTICE
■When loading the luggage
Be careful not to scratch the surface of the moon roof.

234 2-5. Driving information
●Reversing with a trailer attached is difficult and requires practice.
Grip the bottom of the steering wheel and move your hand to the
left to move the trailer to the left. Move your hand to the right to
move the trailer to right. (This is generally opposite to reversing
without a trailer attached.) Avoid sharp or prolonged turning. Have
someone guide you when reversing to reduce the risk of an acci-
dent.
● As stopping distance is increased when towing a trailer, vehicle-to-
vehicle distance should be increased. For each 10 mph (16 km/h)
of speed, allow at least o ne vehicle and trailer length.
● Avoid sudden braking as you may skid, resulting in jackknifing and
loss of control. This is especiall y true on wet or slippery surfaces.
● Avoid jerky starts or sudden acceleration.
● Avoid jerky steering and sharp turns, and slow down before mak-
ing turns.
● Note that when making a turn, th e trailer wheels will be closer than
the vehicle wheels to the inside of the turn. Compensate by making
a larger than normal turning radius.
● Crosswinds and rough roads will adversely affect handling of your
vehicle and trailer, causing sway . Periodically check the rear to
prepare for being passed by large trucks or buses, which may
cause your vehicle and trailer to sway. If swaying occurs, firmly grip
the steering wheel, reduce speed immediately but gradually, and
steer straight ahead. Never increase speed. If you make no
extreme correction with the stee ring or brakes, your vehicle and
trailer will stabilize.
● Take care when passing other v ehicles. Passing requires consider-
able distance. After passing a vehi cle, do not forget the length of
your trailer, and be sure you hav e plenty of room before changing
lanes.
● In order to maintain efficient engine braking and electrical charging
performance, do not use overdrive.
