HEADLIGHT LEVELING
SYSTEM (for versions/
markets, where provided)Your vehicle may be
equipped with a headlight
leveling system. This sys-
tem allows the driver to
maintain proper headlight beam posi-
tion with the road surface regardless
of vehicle load. The control switch is
located on the instrument panel next
to the dimmer control.
To operate, rotate the control switch
until the appropriate number, which
corresponds to the load listed on the
chart, aligns with the indicator line on
the switch.

The wipers and washers are operated
by a switch within the multifunction
lever. Rotate the end of the multifunc-
tion lever to select the desired wiper
speed.
NOTE: Always remove any
buildup of snow that prevents the
windshield wiper blades from re-
turning to the off position. If the
windshield wiper switch is turned
off and the blades cannot return to
the off position, damage to the
wiper motor may occur.

maximum of 68 kg. The roof rack
does not increase the total load carry-
ing capacity of the vehicle. Be sure the
total load of cargo inside the vehicle
plus that on the external rack does not
exceed the maximum vehicle load ca-
pacity.
The crossbars and side rails are de-
signed to carry weight on vehicles
equipped with a luggage rack. The
load must not exceed 68 kg, and
should be uniformly distributed over
the luggage rack crossbars.
NOTE:
 Crossbars are error-proofed andcannot be deployed or stowed in
the incorrect positions.  To help control wind noise, stow
the crossbars in the side rails
when they are not in use.
DEPLOYING THE
CROSSBARS
To deploy the crossbars, completely
loosen the thumb screws at both ends
of the crossbar and lift the crossbar
from its stowed position in the side
rail. Repeat with crossbar on the op-
posite side.
CAUTION!
Use care when removing and han-
dling the crossbars to prevent dam-
age to the vehicle. Bend the crossbar supports at each
end, taking care to keep hand clear of
pivoting joint. Slide the thumb screw
down.
Then, position the crossbars across
the roof.

NOTE: The crossbars are identi-
cal and can be placed in any two of
the three deploy positions.
Make sure the directional arrows on
the crossbars align with the direc-
tional arrows on the side rails. Set the
crossbars into the deployed positions.Once the crossbars are set into posi-
tion, tighten the thumb screws com-
pletely.
Stowing the Crossbars
Reverse the procedure to stow the
crossbars, again, taking care to keep
hand clear of pivoting joint. Crossbars
are identical and can be stowed in
either rail nest. Once the crossbars are
stowed, tighten the thumb screws
completely.NOTE:
Load should always be se-
cured to crossbars first, with rail tie
down loops used as additional se-
curing points if needed. Tie loops
are intended as supplementary tie
down points only. Do not use ratch-
eting mechanisms with the tie loops.
CAUTION!
 Check deployed crossbars fre-
quently and retighten thumb
screws as necessary.
 To avoid damage to the roof rack and vehicle, do not exceed the
maximum roof rack load capacity
of 68 kg. Always distribute heavy
loads as evenly as possible and
secure the load appropriately.

WARNING!
High speed driving with your ve-
hicle under load is dangerous. The
added strain on your tires could
cause them to fail. You could have a
serious collision. Do not drive a ve-
hicle loaded to maximum capacity
at continuous speeds above
120 km/h.
RADIAL-PLY TIRESWARNING!
Combining radial ply tires with
other types of tires on your vehicle
will cause your vehicle to handle
poorly. The instability could cause
a collision. Always use radial ply
tires in sets of four. Never combine
them with other types of tires.
Cuts and punctures in radial tires are
repairable only in the tread area be-
cause of sidewall flexing. Consult
your authorized tire dealer for radial
tire repairs. SPARE TIRE MATCHING
ORIGINAL EQUIPPED
TIRE AND WHEEL (for
versions/markets, where
provided)
Your vehicle may be equivalent with a
spare tire and wheel in look and func-
tion as the original equipment tire and
wheel found on the front or rear axle
of your vehicle. This spare tire may be
used in the tire rotation for your ve-
hicle. If your vehicle has this option
refer to an authorized tire dealer for
the recommended tire rotation pat-
tern.
If your vehicle is not equipped with an
original equipment tire and wheel as a
spare, a non-matching temporary
emergency use spare may be equipped
with your vehicle. Temporary use
spares are engineered to be used only
with your vehicle. Your vehicle may
be equipped with one of the following
types of non-matching temporary use
spares; compact, full size, or limited-
use. Do not install more than one non-
matching temporary use spare tire/
wheel on the vehicle at any given time.
CAUTION!
Because of the reduced ground
clearance, do not take your vehicle
through an automatic car wash
with a compact, full size or limited-
use temporary spare installed.
Damage to the vehicle may result.
COMPACT SPARE TIRE (for
versions/markets, where
provided)
The compact spare is for temporary
emergency use only. You can identify
if your vehicle is equipped with a
compact spare by looking at the spare
tire description on the Tire and Load-
ing Information Placard located on
the driver’s side door opening or on
the sidewall of the tire. Compact spare
tire descriptions begin with the letter
“T” or “S” preceding the size desig-
nation. Example: T145/80D18
103M.
T, S = Temporary Spare Tire.

original equipment tire sidewall. See
the Tire Sizing Chart example found
in the Tire Safety Information section
of this manual for more information
relating to the Load Index and Speed
Symbol of a tire.
It is recommended to replace the two
front tires or two rear tires as a pair.
Replacing just one tire can seriously
affect your vehicle’s handling. If you
ever replace a wheel, make sure that
the wheel’s specifications match those
of the original wheels.
It is recommended you contact your
original equipment or an authorized
tire dealer with any questions you
may have on tire specifications or ca-
pability. Failure to use equivalent re-
placement tires may adversely affect
the safety, handling, and ride of your
vehicle.
NOTE: Always respect the sizes
of tires given in the Registration
Document/Certificate.
WARNING!
 Do not use a tire, wheel size orrating other than that specified
for your vehicle. Some combina-
tions of unapproved tires and
wheels may change suspension
dimensions and performance
characteristics, resulting in
changes to steering, handling,
and braking of your vehicle. This
can cause unpredictable handling
and stress to steering and suspen-
sion components. You could lose
control and have a collision re-
sulting in serious injury or death.
Use only the tire and wheel sizes
with load ratings approved for
your vehicle.
 Never use a tire with a smaller load index or capacity, than what
was originally equipped on your
vehicle. Using a tire with a
smaller load index could result in
tire overloading and failure. You
could lose control and have a col-
lision.

WARNING!(Continued)
Failure to equip your vehicle with
tires having adequate speed capa-
bility can result in sudden tire fail-
ure and loss of vehicle control.CAUTION!
Replacing original tires with tires of
a different size may result in false
speedometer and odometer read-
ings.

Tire Terminology And Definitions
TermDefinition
B-Pillar The vehicle B-Pillar is the structural member of the body located be-
hind the front door.
Cold Tire Inflation Pressure Cold tire inflation pressure is defined as the tire pressure after the ve-
hicle has not been driven for at least 3 hours, or driven less than 1
mile (1.6 km) after sitting for a three hour period. Inflation pressure is
measured in units of PSI (pounds per square inch) or kPa (kilopas-
cals).
Maximum Inflation Pressure The maximum inflation pressure is the maximum permissible cold tire
inflation pressure for this tire. The maximum inflation pressure is
molded into the sidewall.
Recommended Cold Tire Inflation Pres-
sure Vehicle manufacturer's recommended cold tire inflation pressure as
shown on the tire placard.
Tire Placard A paper label permanently attached to the vehicle describing the vehi-
cle’s loading capacity, the original equipment tire sizes and the recom-
mended cold tire inflation pressures.

Placard
This placard tells you important
information about the:
1) number of people that can be
carried in the vehicle
2) total weight your vehicle can
carry
3) tire size designed for your ve-
hicle
4) cold tire inflation pressures for
the front, rear, and spare tires.
Loading
The vehicle maximum load on the tire
must not exceed the load carrying ca-
pacity of the tire on your vehicle. You
will not exceed the tire's load carrying
capacity if you adhere to the loading
conditions, tire size, and cold tire in-
flation pressures specified on the Tire
and Loading Information placard and
in the “Vehicle Loading” section of
this manual. NOTE: Under a maximum loaded
vehicle condition, gross axle
weight ratings (GAWRs) for the
front and rear axles must not be
exceeded. For further information
on GAWRs, vehicle loading, and
trailer towing, refer to “Vehicle
Loading” in this section.
To determine the maximum loading
conditions of your vehicle, locate the
statement “The combined weight of
occupants and cargo should never ex-
ceed XXX lbs or XXX kg” on the Tire
and Loading Information placard.
The combined weight of occupants,
cargo/luggage and trailer tongue
weight (if applicable) should never
exceed the weight referenced here.

Steps For Determining Correct
Load Limit
1. Locate the statement “The com-
bined weight of occupants and cargo
should never exceed XXX lbs or
XXX kg” on your vehicle's placard.
2. Determine the combined weight of
the driver and passengers that will be
riding in your vehicle.
3. Subtract the combined weight of
the driver and passengers from
XXX lbs or XXX kg.4. The resulting figure equals the
available amount of cargo and lug-
gage load capacity. For example, if
“XXX” amount equals 1,400 lbs
(635 kg) and there will be five 150 lb
(68 kg) passengers in your vehicle,
the amount of available cargo and
luggage load capacity is 650 lbs
(295 kg) (since 5 x 150 = 750, and
1400 – 750 = 650 lbs [295 kg]).
5. Determine the combined weight of
luggage and cargo being loaded on the
vehicle. That weight may not safely
exceed the available cargo and lug-
gage 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 lug-
gage load capacity of your vehicle.NOTE:
 The following table shows ex-
amples on how to calculate total
load, cargo/luggage, and towing
capacities of your vehicle with
varying seating configurations
and number and size of occu-
pants. This table is for illustra-
tion purposes only and may not
be accurate for the seating and
load carry capacity of your ve-
hicle.
 For the following example, the combined weight of occupants
and cargo should never exceed
865 lbs (392 kg).
