3. In order to fix the cross rails to the appropriate length,
turn the upper knobs clockwise after tightening all the
side knobs.
CAUTION
Make sure the cross rails are fixed securely by pushing
forward and rearward them. Failure to do so may cause
an accident or severe injury in the event of emergency
braking or a collision.
Follow the manufacturer’s instructions and precautions when
installing the attachments or their equivalent.
CAUTION
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. (See “Specifications”
on page 463 for information on your vehicle overall
length and width.
 Before driving, make sure the cargo is securely
fastened on the roof luggage carrier.
 Loading cargo on the roof 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 correctly.
 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 70 kg (143 lb.) cargo weight on the roof
luggage carrier.
NOTICE
When loading the luggages, be careful not to scratch
the surface of the moon roof.

MOON ROOF

 1Open 2Close
To slide open the moon roof, push the “SLIDE” switch on
the rear side. The moon roof will open and stop partway
30 mm (1.2 in.) from the fully opened position. When you
push the switch again, the moon roof will open fully. To
stop partway, push the same switch or push the “TILT”
switch while the moon roof is moving.
As driving with the moon roof opened fully will cause wind
throbs, we recommend you to drive with the moon roof partway
30 mm (1.2 in.) from the fully opened position.
To operate the moon roof, the ignition key must be in the “ON”
position.
The sun shade can be opened or closed manually. However,
if you open the moon roof, the sun shade will be opened with
the moon roof. To close the moon roof, push the switch on the front side.
The moon roof will fully close. To stop partway, push the
same switch or “TILT” switch.

“SLIDE” switch.
To lower it, push the switch on the opposite side of the
“UP” side. The rear end of the moon roof will fully close.
To stop partway, push the same switch or “SLIDE” switch.
Retained accessory power: Even if the ignition key is turned

REAR STEP BUMPER
15X600b
The rear step bumper is for rear end protection and easier
stepup loading.
CAUTION
Do not allow more than one person to get on the rear
step bumper at a time. It is designed for only one
person.
 Never drive the vehicle with anyone on the rear step
bumper.
RUNNING BOARD LIGHTS
15x019b
Lighting the running board and the ground helps you
easily to get in and out of the vehicle in the night.
When you unlock any door with a key or wireless remote
control, the lights come on and go out after about 15 seconds
automatically.
Opening any door lights up the lights and closing it goes out
them after 15 seconds. However, if the door remains open, the
lights automatically go out after about 30 minutes.

OCCUPANT RESTRAINT SYSTEMS

SEATS
While the vehicle is being driven, all vehicle occupants should
have the seatback upright, sit well back in the seat and properly
wear the seat belts provided.
CAUTION
 Do not drive the vehicle unless the occupants are
properly seated. Do not allow any passengers to sit
in the luggage compartment or cargo area. Persons
not properly seated and/or not properly restrained by
seat belts can be severely injured in the event of
emergency braking or a collision.
 During driving, do not allow any passengers to stand
up or move around between seats. Otherwise, severe
injuries can occur in the event of emergency braking
or a collision.
FRONT SEATS
Front seat precautions
Driver seat
CAUTION
The SRS driver airbag deploys with considerable force,
and can cause death or serious injury especially if the
driver is very close to the airbag. The National Highway
Traffic Safety Administration (“NHTSA”) advises:
Since the risk zone for driver airbag is the first 5075
mm (23 in.) of inflation, placing yourself 250 mm (10 in.)
from your driver airbag provides you with a clear margin
of safety. This distance is measured from the center of
the steering wheel to your breastbone. If you sit less
than 250 mm (10 in.) away now, you can change your
driving position in several ways:
 Move your seat to the rear as far as you can while still
reaching the pedals comfortably.
 Slightly recline the back of the seat. Although vehicle
designs vary, many drivers can achieve the 250 mm
(10 in.) distance, even with the driver seat all the way
forward, simply by reclining the back of the seat
somewhat. If reclining the back of your seat makes
it hard to see the road, raise yourself by using a firm,
nonslippery cushion, or raise the seat if your vehicle
has that feature.

Seat adjustment precautions
CAUTION
Do not adjust the seat while the vehicle is moving as
the seat may unexpectedly move and cause the
driver to lose control of the vehicle.
 Be careful that the seat does not hit a passenger,
luggage or the rear seat.
NOTICE
Do not operate the control switch in more than one
dimension at a time. It may cause electrical overload.
