Before driving
Turn the upper knobs clockwise to
fix the cross rails to the appropri-
ate length.STEP3
CAUTION
■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.
■When loading cargo
Observe the following precautions.
●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. 3 6 8 )
●Before driving, make sure the cargo is securely fastened on the roof luggage car-
rier.
●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 ro ads, 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 143 lb. (70 kg) cargo weight on the roof luggage carrier.

When driving
●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 yo ur hand to the right to move the
trailer to right. (This is generally opposite to reversing without a trailer
attached.) Avoid sharp or prolon ged turning. Have someone guide
you when reversing to reduce the risk of an accident.
● As stopping distance is increased when towing a trailer, vehicle-to-
vehicle distance should be increas ed. For each 10 mph (16 km/h) of
speed, allow at least one vehicle and trailer length.
● Avoid sudden braking as you may sk id, resulting in jackknifing and loss
of control. This is especially true on wet or slippery surfaces.
● Avoid jerky starts or sudden acceleration.
● Avoid jerky steering and sharp turn s, and slow down before making
turns.
● Note that when making a turn, the tr ailer wheels will be closer than the
vehicle wheels to the inside of th e turn. Compensate by making a
larger than normal turning radius.
● Crosswinds and rough roads will ad versely affect handling of your
vehicle and trailer, causing sway. Peri odically check the rear to prepare
for being passed by large trucks or buses, which may cause your vehi-
cle 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
steering or brakes, your vehi cle and trailer will stabilize.
● Take care when passing other vehi cles. Passing requires considerable
distance. After passing a vehicle, do not forget the length of your
trailer, and be sure you have plenty of room before changing lanes.
● In order to maintain efficient eng ine braking and electrical charging
performance, do not use overdrive. Transmission shift range position
must be in 4.

3-2. Using the audio system
■When the cassette player does not operate correctly due to the cassette record-
ing conditions
Forwarding to the beginning of a track, repeat, blank tape skip and fast-forward
may not be possible in the following situations:
●The interval between tracks is less than 3 seconds (beginning of track and
repeat playback) or less than 15 seconds (blank tape skip).
●When there is noise between 2 tracks.
●The beginning and end of subsequent tracks are not clearly defined.
■Cleaning the cassette player
Cassette player components (heads, capstan, pinch rollers) should be cleaned at
least once a month using a cleaning tape to remove dirt and dust that can easily
build up.
■Using long playing cassette tapes
Avoid using tapes with a length of more than 90 minutes, as the tape used is very
thin and may become tangled in the cassette player.
NOTICE
■Cassette tapes that cannot be used
Do not use a cassette tape if it has been da maged or tangled or if its label is peeling
off. Such tapes may affect playing speed and may also get stuck in the player.
■Cassette player precautions
●Store cassette tapes away from direct sunlight.
●Do not insert anything other than cass ette tapes into the cassette player.
●Do not apply oil to the cassette player.
