SAFETY AND ENVIRONMENT PROTECTION
Warning symbols in this guide
How can you reduce the risk of personal injury and prevent possible
damage to others, your vehicle and its equipment? In this guide, answers
to such questions are contained in comments highlighted by the warning
triangle symbol. These comments should be read and observed.
Warning symbols on your vehicle
When you see this symbol, it is
imperative that you consult the
relevant section of this guide before
touching or attempting adjustment
of any kind.
Protecting the environment
We must all play our part in
protecting the environment. Correct
vehicle usage and the authorized
disposal of waste cleaning and
lubrication materials are significant
steps towards this aim. Information in this respect is highlighted in this
guide with the tree symbol.
BREAKING-IN YOUR VEHICLE
Your vehicle does not need an extensive break-in. Try not to drive
continuously at the same speed for the first 1,600 km (1,000 miles) of
new vehicle operation. Vary your speed to allow parts to adjust
themselves to other parts.
Drive your new vehicle at least 800 km (500 miles) before towing a
trailer.
Do not add friction modifier compounds or special break-in oils during
the first few thousand kilometers (miles) of operation, since these
additives may prevent piston ring seating. See Engine oil in the
Maintenance and specifications chapter for more information on oil
usage.

REAR SEAT RADIO CONTROLS (IF EQUIPPED)
If your vehicle is equipped with a
front row console, then it is also
equipped with rear seat radio
controls. This feature allows front
and middle seat passengers to listen
to different media sources (radio,
cassette, CD or DVD)
simultaneously. (However, the front
and middle-seat passengers cannot
listen to two different radio stations
at the same time.)
When the rear seat controls are activated, rear seat passengers can use
the controls to change the playing media for all passengers (Single Play
mode). In this mode, all speakers will play audio from the same media
source for all passengers to hear. To activate the rear seat radio controls:
• Press the memory preset controls
3 and 5 at the same time. A
headphone icon will illuminate
in the radio display, indicating the rear seat radio controls are active.
• Press memory preset controls 3 and 5 a second time to deactivate the
rear seat controls. The headphone icon will turn off in the radio
display.
If there is a discrepancy between the rear seat controls and the front
audio controls (such as both trying to listen to the same playing media),
the front audio system will receive the desired selection.
To activate Dual Play mode (rear
seat passengers listen to a different
playing media than the front seat
passengers):
• Press the speaker/headphone
control.
• Press the MODE control to
change audio sources (for
headphone mode only)
• Use the SEEK, VOLUME and
MEMORY controls to make adjustments to the playing media. -
