Safety information
WARNING
Breakable objects, such as glass
bottles or glasses, can break in
the event of an accident or a brak-
ing or evasive maneuver. Broken
glass can be scattered in the car's
interior. There is a risk of injury or
risk of damage to property. Do not
use any breakable objects while
driving. Only stow breakable
objects in closed storage com-
partments.
Cup holders
Safety information
WARNING
Unsuitable containers in the cup
holders may damage the cup
holders or be thrown about the
car’s interior in the event of an
accident, an evasive maneuver,
or forceful braking. Spilled liquids
can distract from the traffic condi-
tions and lead to an accident. Hot
drinks can damage the cup holder
or lead to scalding. There is a risk
of injury or risk of damage to prop-

combined weight of occu-
pants and cargo should
never exceed XXX kg or XXX
lbs” on your vehicle’s plac-
ard.

weight of the driver and pas-
sengers that will be riding in
your vehicle.

Safety information
WARNING
High gross weight can overheat
the tires, damage them internally
and cause a sudden drop in tire
inflation pressure. Driving charac-
teristics may be negatively
impacted, reducing lane stability,
lengthening the braking distances
and changing the steering
response. There is a risk of an
accident. Pay attention to the per-
mitted load capaci ty of the tires
and never exceed the permitted
gross weight.
WARNING
Loose object or devices with a
cable connection to the vehicle,
for instance mobile phones, can
be thrown about the car

3Subtract the combined
weight of the driver and pas-
sengers from XXX kg or XXX
lbs.
4 The resulting figure equals
the available amount of cargo
and luggage load capacity.
For example, if the “XXX”
amount equals 1,400 lbs and
there will be five 150 lbs pas-
sengers in your vehicle, the
amount of available cargo
and luggage load capacity is
650 lbs (1,400–750 (5 x 150)
= 650 lbs).
5 Determine the combined
weight of luggage and cargo
being loaded on the vehicle.
That weight may not safely
exceed the available cargo
and luggage load capacity
calculated in Step 4.
6 If your vehicle will be towing
a trailer, load from your trailer
will be transferred to your
vehicle. Consult this manual
to determine how this
reduces the available cargo
and luggage load capacity of
your vehicle. The maximum load is the sum of
the weight of the occupants and
the cargo.
The greater the weight of the
occupants, the less cargo that
can be transported.
Cover sharp edges and cor-
ners on the cargo.
Heavy cargo: stow as far for-
ward and as low as possible,
ideally directly behind the
cargo partition.
Smaller and lighter cargo:
secure with ratchet straps or
with a cargo net or draw
straps.
Larger and heavy cargo:
secure with cargo straps.

on the right side trim for fasten-
ing small objects.
Small objects can be stowed in
the net on the left side. To trans-
port larger objects, slide the net
down. Grab the top of the net as
close as possible to the edge
next to the holder. At first, a
resistance must be overcome.

lightweight objects, such as shop-
ping bags, from the multi-function
hooks. Only transport heavy lug-
gage in the cargo
area if it has
been appropriately secured.

Moving parts need to begin
working together smoothly.
The following instructions will
help you to achieve a long vehi-
cle life and good efficiency.
During break-in, do not use the
Launch Control, refer to page
135.Do not exceed the maximum
engine and road speed:
For gasoline engine 4,500
rpm and 100 mph/160 km/h.
Avoid full load or kickdown
under all circumstances.
The engine and vehicle speed
can gradually be increased.
Tire traction is not optimal due to
manufacturing circumstances
when tires are brand-new; they
achieve their full traction poten-
tial after a break-in time.
Drive conservatively for the first
200 miles/300 km.

General driving notes
Closing the trunk lid
Safety information
WARNING
An open trunk lid protrudes from
the vehicle and can endanger
occupants and other traffic partici-
pants or damage the vehicle in
the event of an a ccident, braking
or evasive maneu vers. In addi-
tion, exhaust fumes may enter the
car's interior. There is a risk of
injury or risk of damage to prop-
erty. Do not drive with the trunk lid
open.
Ice on window glass
NOTICE
The window will be lowered
slightly when pulling on the door
handle. In the eve nt of frost, the
window may freeze up and not be
lowered. There is a risk of dam-
age to property. When pulling on
the door handle, make sure that
the window is lowered. If neces-
sary, remove snow and ice from
the window. Do not open the door
with force.
Hot exhaust gas system
WARNING
High temperatures can occur
underneath the body, for instance
caused by the exhaust gas sys-
tem, while driving. Contact with
the exhaust gas system can
cause burns. The re is a risk of
injury. Do not touch the hot
exhaust gas system, including the
exhaust pipe.
WARNING
If combustible materials, such as
leaves or grass, come in contact
with hot parts of the exhaust gas
system, these materials can
ignite. There is a risk of fire and
injuries. Do not r emove the heat
shields installed and never apply
undercoating to them. Make sure
that no combustible materials can
come in contact with hot vehicle
parts in driving operation, idle or
during parking.

2604-1. DRIVING TIPS
When visibility is poor due to
fog, even if it is daytime, turn the
low beam headlights on to make
your vehicle more visible to
other vehicles, etc. Drive with
caution at a low speed, using
the centerline, guardrails, tail-
lights of a preceding vehicle,
etc., as guide.When the vehicle is being blown
by crosswinds, drive at a lower
speed and grip the steering
wheel stronger than normal.
The vehicle is especially sus-
ceptible to crosswinds when
exiting a tunnel or underpass,
when driving on a bridge or
embankment, or when passing
or being passed by a truck or
other large vehicle.
During a rain storm or when
the road surface is wet, the
road surface may be slippery
and visibility may be reduced.
In this case, turn the low
beam headlights on to make
your vehicle more visible to
Mobile communication
devices in the vehicle
WARNING
Vehicle electronics and mobile
phones can influence one
another. There is radiation due to
the transmission operations of
mobile phones. There is a risk of
injury or risk of
damage to prop-
erty. If possible, in the car's inte-
rior use only mobile phones with
direct connections to an exterior
antenna in order to exclude
mutual interference and deflect
the radiation from the car's inte-
r i o r.
