DRIVING
DRIVING
Learn about preparation for driving, as well as other features.
Before Driving
Check the following items before you begin driving.
Exterior Checks
• 
Make sure there are no obstructions on the windows, door mirrors, exterior 
lights, or other parts of the vehicle.
•  Remove any frost, snow, or ice.
•  Make sure the hood is securely closed.
• 
Heat from the engine and exhaust can ignite flammable materials left under 
the hood, causing a fire. If you’ve parked your vehicle for an extended period, 
inspect and remove any debris that may have collected, such as dried grass 
and leaves that have fallen or have been carried in for use as a nest by a small 
animal. Also check under the hood for leftover flammable materials after you or 
someone else has performed maintenance on your vehicle.
•  Make sure the tires are in good condition.
• 
Make sure there are no people or objects behind or around the vehicle.
Interior Checks • 
Store or secure all items on board properly.
• Do not pile items higher than the seat height.
• Do not place anything in the front seat footwells. Make sure to secure the floor 
mats.
• 
If you have any animals on board, do not let them move freely around in the 
vehicle.
•  Securely close and lock all doors and the tailgate.
•  Adjust your seating position, mirrors, and steering wheel properly.
• 
Make sure items placed on the floor behind the front seats cannot roll under the 
seats.
• 
Everyone in the vehicle must fasten their seat belt.
•  Make sure that the indicators in the instrument panel come on when you s\
tart
the vehicle, and go off soon after.
DRIVING
If the doors are frozen shut, use warm water around the door edges to melt any 
ice. Do not try to force them open, as this can damage the rubber trim around the 
doors. When done, wipe dry to avoid further freezing.
NOTICE
Maximum Load Limit
Carrying too much cargo or improperly storing it can affect your vehicle\
’s handling,
stability, stopping distance, and tires, and make it unsafe. 
The maximum load for your vehicle is 1,340 lbs (608 kg). See the Tire and Loading 
Information label on the driver’s doorjamb.
Improper accessories or modifications can affect your vehicle’s handling, and 
stability, and performance, and cause a crash in which you can be seriously hurt 
or killed.
Follow all instructions in the vehicle owner’s manual regarding accessories and
modifications.
WARNING
In addition:
• During the first 600 miles (1,000 km) of operation, avoid sudden acceleration or 
full throttle operation so as to not damage the engine or powertrain.
• 
Avoid hard braking for the first 200 miles (300 km). You should also follow this 
when the brake pads are replaced.
Label example
The headlight aim on your vehicle was set by the factory, and does not need to be 
adjusted. However, if you regularly carry heavy items in the cargo area or pull a
trailer, have the aiming readjusted at your dealer or by a qualified technician.
Overloading or improper loading can affect handling and stability and cause a 
crash in which you can be hurt or killed.
Follow all load limits and other loading guidelines in this guide.

MAINTENANCE
MAINTENANCE
Checking the Battery
The battery condition is monitored by the sensor on the negative terminal. If there is 
a problem with the sensor, a message appears on the information display. Have your 
vehicle checked by a dealer.
Check the battery terminals for corrosion monthly.
For jump starting, see page 107.
The battery gives off explosive hydrogen gas during normal operation.
A spark or flame can cause the battery to explode with enough force to kill or 
seriously hurt you.
When conducting any battery maintenance, wear protective clothing and a 
face shield, or have a skilled technician do it.
WARNING
WARNING: Battery posts, terminals, and related accessories contain lead and lead\

compounds. Wash your hands after handling.
Window Washer Fluid
If the washer fluid level is low, fill the washer reservoir. 
Canadian models
If the washer fluid level is low, the washer level 
indicator or a message appears.
Do not use engine antifreeze or a vinegar/water solution in the windshield washer 
reservoir. Antifreeze can damage your vehicle’s paint. A vinegar/water solution can 
damage the windshield washer pump.
NOTICE
Changing Wiper Blades
If the wiper blades leave streaks across the windshield, try cleaning them first with a 
paper towel or soft cloth and wiper fluid. If the wiper blade rubber has deteriorated,

unfastens from the holder’s end cap.
4. Pull the wiper blade to the opposite direction to 
slide it out from its holder.
5. Insert the flat side of the new wiper blade onto 
the bottom part of the holder. Insert the blade all 
the way.
