turns the headlights to the low beam
operation.
FLASH-TO-PASS
You can signal another vehicle with
your headlights by lightly pulling the
multifunction lever toward you. This
will turn on the high beam headlights
until the lever is released.
AUTOMATIC HIGH BEAM
(for versions/markets,
where provided)
The Automatic High Beam system
provides increased forward lighting at
night by automating high beam con-
trol through the use of a digital cam-
era mounted on the inside rearview
mirror. This camera detects vehicle
specific light and automatically
switches from high beams to low
beams until the approaching vehicle
is out of view.
NOTE: Broken, muddy or ob-
structed headlights and taillights
of vehicles in the field of view willcause headlights to remain on lon-
ger (closer to the vehicle). Also,
dirt, film and other obstructions
on the windshield or camera lens
will cause the system to function
improperly.
To Activate
1. Select “Automatic High Beams —
ON” through the EVIC. Refer to
“Electronic Vehicle Information Cen-
ter (EVIC)/Customer-Programmable
Features” in “Understanding Your In-
strument Panel” for further informa-
tion.
2. Rotate the headlight switch coun-
terclockwise to the AUTO (A) posi-
tion.
3. Push the multifunction lever away
from you to switch the headlights to
the high beam position. Refer to
“Multifunction Lever” in this section
for further information.
NOTE: This system will not acti-
vate until the vehicle is at, or
above, 40 km/h.
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.

WINDSHIELD WIPERS
AND WASHERS
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.
WARNING!
Sudden loss of visibility through
the windshield could lead to a col-
lision. You might not see other ve-
hicles or other obstacles. To avoid
sudden icing of the windshield dur-
ing freezing weather, warm the
windshield with the defroster be-
fore and during windshield washer
use.
MIST, FRONT WIPER AND
WASHER
Use the Mist feature when weather
conditions make occasional usage of
the wipers necessary.
Press the end of the multifunction lever
inward (toward the steering column) to
the first detent and release for a single wiping cycle. To use the Washer, push
on the end of the lever to the second
detent and hold while spray is desired.
If the lever is pushed while on the in-
termittent setting, the wipers will turn
on and operate for several wipe cycles
after the lever is released, and then
resume the intermittent interval previ-
ously selected. If the lever is pushed
while the wipers are in the off position,
the wipers will operate several wipe
cycles, then turn off.
INTERMITTENT, LOW AND
HIGH SPEED WIPERS
Rotate the end of the lever to one of
the first five detent positions for inter-
mittent wiper operation, the sixth de-
tent for low wiper operation and the
seventh detent for high wiper opera-
tion.
Use one of the five intermittent wiper
settings when weather conditions
make a single wiping cycle, with a
variable delay between cycles, desir-
able. At driving speeds above
16 km/h, the delay can be regulated

To prevent excessive batterydrain, use the rear window de-
froster only when the engine is
operating.
CAUTION!
Failure to follow these cautions can
cause damage to the heating ele-
ments:
Use care when washing the insideof the rear window. Do not use
abrasive window cleaners on the
interior surface of the window.
Use a soft cloth and a mild wash-
ing solution, wiping parallel to
the heating elements. Labels can
be peeled off after soaking with
warm water.
Do not use scrapers, sharp instru- ments, or abrasive window clean-
ers on the interior surface of the
window.
Keep all objects a safe distance from the window.
ROOF LUGGAGE RACK
(for versions/markets,
where provided)
The crossbars on your vehicle are de-
livered stowed within the roof rack
side rails. If adding cargo, deploy the
crossbars. Distribute cargo weight
evenly on the roof rack crossbars, to
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 and
cannot 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!
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.
To prevent damage to the roof of your vehicle, DO NOT carry any
loads on the roof rack without the
crossbars deployed.
(Continued)
CAUTION!(Continued)
The load should be secured andplaced on top of the crossbars, not
directly on the roof. If it is neces-
sary to place the load on the roof,
place a blanket or other protec-
tive layer between the load and
the roof surface.
Long loads which extend over the windshield, such as wood panels
or surfboards, or loads with large
frontal area should be secured to
both the front and rear of the
vehicle.
Travel at reduced speeds and turn corners carefully when carrying
large or heavy loads on the roof
rack. Wind forces, due to natural
causes or nearby truck traffic,
can add sudden upward lift to a
load. This is especially true on
large flat loads and may result in
damage to the cargo or your ve-
hicle.
WARNING!
Cargo must be securely tied before
driving your vehicle. Improperly
secured loads can fly off the vehicle,
particularly at high speeds, result-
ing in personal injury or property
damage. Follow the roof rack cau-
tions when carrying cargo on your
roof rack.
HEADLIGHT WASHER
(for versions/markets,
where provided)
The multifunction lever operates the
headlight washers when the ignition
switch is in the ON position and the
headlights are turned on. The multi-
function lever is located on the left
side of the steering column.
To use the headlight washers, push
the multifunction lever inward (to-
ward the steering column) to the sec-
ond detent and release it. The head-
light washers will spray a timed high-
pressure spray of washer fluid onto
each headlight lens. In addition, the

Tire Terminology And Definitions
TermDefinition
B-Pillar The vehicle B-Pillar is the structural member of the body located behind the
front door.
Cold Tire Inflation Pressure Cold tire inflation pressure is defined as the tire pressure after the vehicle 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 (kilopascals).
Maximum Inflation Pressure The maximum inflation pressure is the maximum permissible cold tire infla-
tion pressure for this tire. The maximum inflation pressure is molded into the
sidewall.
Recommended Cold Tire Inflation Pressure 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 vehicle’s
loading capacity, the original equipment tire sizes and the recommended cold
tire inflation pressures.

of the driver's side door. Tire And Loading Information
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.
B-Pillar Location For Tire And Loading Information Placard

3)Tire size designed for your vehicle.
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 luggage
load capacity. For example, if “XXX”
amount equals 1,400 lbs (635 kg) and
there will be five 150 lb (68 kg) passen-
gers in your vehicle, the amount of
available cargo and luggage load capac-
ity is 650 lbs (295 kg) (since 5 x 150 lbs (68 kg) = 750 lbs (340 kg), and
1400 lbs (635 kg) – 750 lbs (340 kg) =
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 luggage
load capacity calculated in Step 4.
NOTE:
If your vehicle will be towing a trailer, load from your trailer
will be transferred to your ve-
hicle. The following table shows
examples on how to calculate to-
tal load, cargo/luggage, and
towing capacities of your vehicle
with varying seating configura-
tions and number and size of
occupants. This table is for il-
lustration purposes only and
may not be accurate for the seat-
ing and load carry capacity of
your vehicle.
For the following example, the combined weight of occupants
and cargo should never exceed
865 lbs (392 kg).

WARNING!
Overloading of your tires is danger-
ous. Overloading can cause tire
failure, affect vehicle handling, and
increase your stopping distance.
Use tires of the recommended load
capacity for your vehicle. Never
overload them.
TIRES — GENERAL
INFORMATION
Tire Pressure
Proper tire inflation pressure is essen-
tial to the safe and satisfactory opera-
tion of your vehicle. Three primary
areas are affected by improper tire
pressure:Safety
WARNING!
Improperly inflated tires are dan-
gerous and can cause collisions.
Under-inflation increases tire flexing and can result in over-
heating and tire failure.

exceed the maximum inflation pres-
sure molded into the tire sidewall.
Check tire pressures more often if
subject to a wide range of outdoor
temperatures, as tire pressures vary
with temperature changes.
Tire pressures change by approxi-
mately 7 kPa per 7°C of air tempera-
ture change. Keep this in mind when
checking tire pressure inside a garage,
especially in the winter.
Example: If garage temperature =
20°C and the outside temperature =
0°C then the cold tire inflation pres-
sure should be increased by 21 kPa,
which equals 7 kPa for every 7°C for
this outside temperature condition.
Tire pressure may increase from 13 to
40 kPa during operation. DO NOT
reduce this normal pressure build up
or your tire pressure will be too low.Tire Pressures For High
Speed Operation
The manufacturer advocates driving
at safe speeds and within posted speed
limits. Where speed limits or condi-
tions are such that the vehicle can be
driven at high speeds, maintaining
correct tire inflation pressure is very
important. Increased tire pressure
and reduced vehicle loading may be
required for high-speed vehicle op-
eration. Refer to your authorized tire
dealer or original equipment vehicle
dealer for recommended safe operat-
ing speeds, loading and cold tire infla-
tion pressures.
WARNING!
High speed driving with your ve-
hicle under maximum load is dan-
gerous. The added strain on your
tires could cause them to fail. You
could have a serious collision. Do
not drive a vehicle loaded to the
maximum capacity at continuous
speeds above 120 km/h.
Radial Ply Tires
WARNING!
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.
Tire Repair
If your tire becomes damaged, it may
be repaired if it meets the following
criteria:
The tire has not been driven on when flat.
The damage is only on the tread section of your tire (sidewall dam-
age is not repairable).
The puncture is no greater than 6 mm.
Consult an authorized tire dealer for
tire repairs and additional informa-
tion.
