WARNING
WARNING!
Do not allow children to have ac-
cess to the trunk, either by climbing
into the trunk from outside, or
through the inside of the vehicle.
Always close the trunk lid when
your vehicle is unattended. Once in
the trunk, young children may not
be able to escape, even if they en-
tered through the rear seat. If
trapped in the trunk, children can
die from suffocation or heat stroke.

nal emergency release lever is built
into the trunk latching mechanism. In
the event of an individual being
locked inside the trunk, the trunk can
be simply opened by pulling on the
glow-in-the-dark handle attached to
the trunk latching mechanism.

WARNING!(Continued)
If you are required to drive withthe trunk/liftgate/rear doors
open, make sure that all windows
are closed and the climate control
BLOWER switch is set at high
speed. DO NOT use the recircula-
tion mode.
If it is necessary to sit in a parked vehicle with the engine running,
adjust your heating or cooling
controls to force outside air into
the vehicle. Set the blower at high
speed.
The best protection against carbon
monoxide entry into the vehicle body
is a properly maintained engine ex-
haust system.
Whenever a change is noticed in the
sound of the exhaust system, when
exhaust fumes can be detected inside
the vehicle, or when the underside or
rear of the vehicle is damaged, have a
competent mechanic inspect the com-
plete exhaust system and adjacent
body areas for broken, damaged, de-
teriorated, or mispositioned parts. Open seams or loose connections
could permit exhaust fumes to seep
into the passenger compartment. In
addition, inspect the exhaust system
each time the vehicle is raised for lu-
brication or oil change. Replace as
required.
SAFETY CHECKS YOU
SHOULD MAKE INSIDE
THE VEHICLE
Seat Belts
Inspect the belt system periodically,
checking for cuts, frays, and loose
parts. Damaged parts must be re-
placed immediately. Do not disas-
semble or modify the system.
Front seat belt assemblies must be
replaced after a collision. Rear seat
belt assemblies must be replaced after
a collision if they have been damaged
(i.e., bent retractor, torn webbing,
etc.). If there is any question regard-
ing belt or retractor condition, replace
the belt.
Air Bag Warning Light
The light should come on
and remain on for four to
eight seconds as a bulb
check when the ignition
switch is first turned ON. If the light is
not lit during starting, see your autho-
rized dealer. If the light stays on,
flickers, or comes on while driving,
have the system checked by an autho-
rized dealer.
Defroster
Check operation by selecting the de-
frost mode and place the blower con-
trol on high speed. You should be able
to feel the air directed against the
windshield. See your authorized
dealer for service if your defroster is
inoperable.
Floor Mat Safety Information
Always use floor mats designed to fit
the footwell of your vehicle. Use only
floor mats that leave the pedal area
unobstructed and that are firmly se-
cured so that they cannot slip out of

down, they provide a continuous,
nearly-flat extension of the load floor.
When the seatback is folded to the
upright position, make sure it is
latched by strongly pulling on the top
of the seatback above the seat strap.
WARNING!
Be certain that the seatback issecurely locked into position. If
the seatback is not securely
locked into position, the seat will
not provide the proper stability
for child seats and/or passengers.
An improperly latched seat could
cause serious injury.
The cargo area in the rear of the vehicle (with the rear seatbacks
in the locked-up or folded down
position) should not be used as a
play area by children when the
vehicle is in motion. They could
be seriously injured in a collision.
Children should be seated and us-
ing the proper restraint system.
(Continued)
WARNING!(Continued)
To help protect against personalinjury, passengers should not be
seated in the rear cargo area. The
rear cargo space is intended for
load carrying purposes only, not
for passengers, who should sit in
seats and use seat belts.
WARNING!
The weight and position of cargo
and passengers can change the ve-
hicle center of gravity and vehicle
handling. To avoid loss of control
resulting in personal injury, follow
these guidelines for loading your
vehicle:
Always place cargo evenly on thecargo floor. Put heavier objects as
low and as far forward as pos-
sible.
(Continued)
WARNING!(Continued)
Place as much cargo as possible infront of the rear axle. Too much
weight or improperly placed
weight over or behind the rear
axle can cause the rear of the ve-
hicle to sway.
Do not pile luggage or cargo higher than the top of the seat-
back. This could impair visibility
or become a dangerous projectile
in a sudden stop or collision.
CARGO AREA FEATURES
TRUNK MAT (for
versions/markets, where
provided)
A trunk mat covers the bottom of the
cargo area. The trunk mat is used to
protect the interior of the trunk from
mud, snow, and debris.

EVIC RED TELLTALES
This area will show reconfigurable red
telltales. These telltales include:
Door Ajar
This telltale turns on when
one or more doors are ajar.
The telltale will show which
doors are ajar.
Trunk Ajar
This light will turn on to
indicate that the trunk lid is

gine oil pressure. If the light
turns on while driving, stop the ve-
hicle and shut off the engine as soon
as possible. A chime will sound for
four minutes when this light turns on.
Do not operate the vehicle until the
cause is corrected. This light does not
show how much oil is in the engine.
The engine oil level must be checked
under the hood.
Charging System Telltale
This telltale shows the status
of the electrical charging sys-
tem. If the telltale stays on or comes
on while driving, turn off some of the
vehicle's non-essential electrical de-
vices or increase engine speed (if at
idle). If the charging system telltale
remains on, it means that the vehicle
is experiencing a problem with the
charging system. Obtain SERVICE
IMMEDIATELY. See an authorized
dealer. If jump starting is required, refer to
“Jump Starting Procedures” in “What
To Do In Emergencies”.
Electronic Throttle Control
(ETC) Telltale
This telltale informs you of
a problem with the Elec-
tronic Throttle Control
(ETC) system. If the telltale
comes on while driving, have the sys-
tem checked by an authorized dealer.
If a problem is detected, the telltale
will come on while the engine is run-
ning. Cycle the ignition key when the
vehicle has completely stopped and
the shift lever is placed in the PARK
position. The telltale should turn off.
If the telltale remains lit with the en-
gine running, your vehicle will usually
be drivable. However, see an autho-
rized dealer for service as soon as pos-
sible. If the telltale is flashing when
the engine is running, immediate ser-
vice is required. You may experience
reduced performance, an elevated/
rough idle or engine stall and your
vehicle may require towing.

in your area, a high cetane “pre-
mium” diesel fuel may offer improved
cold-starting and warm-up perfor-
mance.
BIODIESEL FUEL
REQUIREMENTS
A maximum blend of 7% biodiesel
meeting the EN590 standard are also

filler pipe – the nozzle opens and
holds the flapper door while refueling.
NOTE: Only the correct size
nozzle opens the latches allowing
the flapper door to open.
5. Fill the vehicle with fuel – when
the fuel nozzle “clicks” or shuts off the
fuel tank is full.
6. Remove the fuel nozzle and close
the fuel door.NOTE: A funnel is provided (lo-
cated in the trunk in the spare tire
area) to open the flapper door to
allow for emergency refueling with
a gas can.CAUTION!
To avoid fuel spillage and overfill-
ing, do not “top off” the fuel tank
after filling.
WARNING!
Never have any smoking materi-
als lit in or near the vehicle when
the fuel door is open or the tank is
being filled.
