Biodiesel
Commercially supplied biodiesel blends of no more than 5% biodiesel, commonly
known as "B5 biodiesel" may be used in
your vehicle if it meets EN 14214 or
equivalent specifications. (EN stands for
"European Norm"). The use of biofuels
made from rapeseed methyl ester
(RME), fatty acid methyl ester (FAME),
vegetable oil methyl ester (VME) etc. ormixing diesel with biodiesel will cause
increased wear or damage to the engine
and fuel system. Repair or replacement
of worn or damaged components due to
the use of non approved fuels will not be
covered by the manufactures warranty.A030000AUN-EA
No special run-in period is needed. By
following a few simple precautions for the
first 1,000 km (600 miles) you may add to
the performance, economy and life of
your vehicle.
Do not race the engine.
While driving, keep your engine speed
(rpm, or revolutions per minute)
between 2,000 rpm and 4,000 rpm.
Do not maintain a single speed for long periods of time, either fast or slow.
Varying engine speed is needed to
properly run-in the engine.
Avoid hard stops, except in emergen- cies, to allow the brakes to seat prop-
erly.
Don't let the engine idle longer than 3 minutes at one time.
Don't tow a trailer during the first 2,000 km (1,200 miles) of operation.
CAUTION
Do not let any petrol or water
enter the tank. This would make itnecessary to drain it out and tobleed the lines to avoid jamming
the injection pump and damagingthe engine.
In winter, in order to cut down incidents due to freezing, paraffinoil may be added to the fuel if the
temperature drops to below - 10°C(50°F). Never use more than20% paraffin oil.
CAUTION
Never use any fuel, whether diesel or B5 biodiesel that fails tomeet the latest petroleum indus-
try specification.
Never use any fuel additives or treatments that are not recom-mended or approved by the vehi-cle manufacturer.

CAUTION
Make sure the engine is off, the
transaxle is in P and the parkingbrake is applied whenever load- ing or unloading cargo. Vehicle
may move if shift lever is inadver- tently moved to another position.
Be careful when loading cargo through the rear passenger seatsto prevent damage to the vehicle
interior.
When cargo is loaded through the rear passenger seats, ensure thecargo is properly secured to pre-
vent it from moving while driving. Unsecured cargo in the passen-ger compartment can cause dam- age to the vehicle or injury to it’s
occupants.
WARNING
Make sure the headrest locks in
position after adjusting it to proper-
ly protect the occupants.

C020100AUN-EA Seat belt restraint system
The use of seat belts reduces the risk of
accident injury by avoiding collision with
the interior of the car and by preventing
the occupants from being thrown out of
the car. This makes them the most impor-
tant safety feature available for you and
your passengers. Adequate protection is
afforded only when the belt is worn cor-
rectly. You should always fasten and
adjust your seatbelts before the car is put
in motion and encourage your passen-
gers to do the same.
WARNING - Cargo loading
Make sure the engine is off, the transaxle is in P and the parking
brake is applied whenever loading
or unloading cargo. Failure to take
these steps may allow the vehicle
to move if shift lever is inadvertent-
ly moved to another position.
WARNING - Cargo
Cargo should always be secured to
prevent it from being thrown about
the vehicle in a collision and caus-
ing injury to the vehicle occupants.Special care should be taken ofobjects placed in the rear seats,
since those may hit the front seat
occupants in a frontal collision.
SEAT BELTS
WARNING
For maximum restraint system protection, the seat belts must
always be used whenever the car
is moving.
Seat belts are most effective when seatbacks are in theupright position.
Children age 12 and younger must always be properly
restrained in the rear seat. Never
allow children to ride in the front
passenger seat. If a child over 12
must be seated in the front seat,
he/she must be properly belted
and the seat should be moved as
far back as possible.
Never wear the shoulder belt under your arm or behind your
back. An improperly positionedshoulder belt can cause serious
injuries in a crash. The shoulder
belt should be positioned midway
over your shoulder across your
collarbone.

Safety features of your vehicle
Just before impact, drivers often brakeheavily. Such heavy braking lowers the
front portion of the vehicle causing it to
“ride” under a vehicle with a higher
ground clearance. Air bags may not
inflate in this "under-ride" situation
because deceleration forces that are
detected by sensors may be signifi-
cantly replaced by such “under-ride”
collisions. Air bags may not inflate in rollover acci-
dents because air bag deployment
would not provide protection to the
occupants.
However, side and/or curtain air bags may inflate when the vehicle is rolled
over by a side impact collision, if the
vehicle is equipped with side air bags
and curtain air bags. Air bags may not inflate if the vehicle
collides with objects such as utility
poles or trees, where the point of
impact is concentrated to one area and
the full force of the impact is not deliv-
ered to the sensors.

When pushing down on the front por-
tion (1) of the switch, all vehicle doors
will lock.
When pushing down on the rear por- tion (2) of the switch, all vehicle doors
will unlock.
However, if the key is in the ignition switch and any front door is open, the
doors will not lock when the front por-
tion of central door lock switch ispressed. D050600ANF
Deadlocks
Deadlocks prevent opening of a door
from either inside or outside the vehicle
once the deadlocks have been activated
providing an additional measure of vehi-
cle security.
To lock the vehicle using the deadlock
function, the doors must be locked using
the key or the Remote Keyless Entry
transmitter. To unlock the vehicle, the key
or the transmitter must again be used.
To lock a vehicle without using the dead-
lock function, the doors should be locked
by depressing the central door lock
switch and closing the doors.
WARNING
- Unlocked
vehicles
Leaving your vehicle unlocked can
invite theft or possible harm to you
or others from someone hiding in
your vehicle while you are gone.
Always remove the ignition key,
engage the parking brake, close all
windows and lock all doors when
leaving your vehicle unattended.
WARNING - Unattended
children
An enclosed vehicle can become
extremely hot, causing death or
severe injury to unattended chil-dren or animals who cannot escape
the vehicle. Furthermore, children
might operate features of the vehi-
cle that could injure them, or they
could encounter other harm, possi-
bly from someone gaining entry to
the vehicle. Never leave children or
animals unattended in your vehicle.WARNING - Doors
The doors should always be fully closed and locked while the vehi-
cle is in motion to prevent acci-
dental opening of the door.
Locked doors will also discour-
age potential intruders when the
vehicle stops or slows.
Be careful when opening doors and watch for vehicles, motorcy-
cles, bicycles or pedestrians
approaching the vehicle in the
path of the door. Opening a door
when something is approaching
can cause damage or injury.
WARNING
Occupants must not be allowed to
remain in the vehicle when the
deadlocking system is activated
since it will not be possible for
them, or persons outside the vehi-
cle, to open the doors and leave the
vehicle in case of an emergency.
