Introduction
No special run-in period is needed.
By following a few simple precau-
tions for the first 600 miles (1,000
km) you may add to the perform-
ance, economy and life of your vehi-
cle.
• Do not race the engine.
• Whilst 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 emer-
gencies, to allow the brakes to seat
properly.
• Don't tow a trailer/caravan during
the first 1,200 miles (2,000 km) of
operation.As with other vehicles of this type,
failure to operate this vehicle correct-
ly may result in loss of control, an
accident or vehicle rollover.
Specific design characteristics (high-
er ground clearance, track, etc.) give
this vehicle a higher centre of gravity
than other types of vehicles. In other
words they are not designed for cor-
nering at the same speeds as con-
ventional 2-wheel drive vehicles.
Avoid sharp turns or abrupt manoeu-
vres. Again, failure to operate this
vehicle correctly may result in loss of
control, an accident or vehicle
rollover.Be sure to read the
“Reducing the risk of a rollover”
driving guidelines, in section 5 of
this manual.

Safety features of your vehicle
Head restraint (for rear seat)
The rear seat(s) is equipped with
head restraints in all the seating
positions for the occupant's safety
and comfort.
The head restraint not only provides
comfort for passengers, but also
helps protect the head and neck in
the event of a collision.
WARNING- Cargo
Cargo should always be
secured to prevent it from being
thrown about the vehicle in a
collision and causing injury to
the vehicle occupants. Do not
place objects in the rear (2nd
and/or 3rd row) seats, since they
cannot be properly secured and
may hit the front seat occupants
in a collision.
WARNING - Cargo loading
Make sure the engine is off, the
automatic transaxle is in P (Park)
or the manual transaxle is in R
(Reverse) or 1st, and the parking
brake is securely applied when-
ever loading or unloading cargo.
Failure to take these steps may
allow the vehicle to move if the
shift lever is inadvertently
moved to another position.

* if equipped
WARNING
• For maximum effectiveness in
case of an accident, the head
restraint should be adjusted so
the middle of the head restraint
is at the same height as the cen-
tre of gravity of an occupant's
head. Generally, the centre of
gravity of most people's head is
similar with the height of the
top of their eyes. Also adjust the
head restraint as close to your
head as possible. For this rea-
son, the use of a cushion that
holds the body away from the
seatback is not recommended.
• Do not operate the vehicle with
the head restraints removed.
Severe injury to an occupant
may occur in the event of an
accident. Head restraints may
provide protection against
severe neck injuries when prop-
erly adjusted.

Safety features of your vehicle
• Front air bags may not inflate in
side impact collisions, because
occupants move to the direction of
the collision, and thus in side
impacts, frontal air bag deployment
would not provide additional occu-
pant protection.
• However, if equipped with side
impact and curtain air bags, the air
bags may inflate depending on the
intensity, vehicle speed and angles
of impact.• In an angled collision, the force of
impact may direct the occupants in
a direction where the air bags
would not be able to provide any
additional benefit, and thus the
sensors may not deploy any air
bags.• Just before impact, drivers often
brake heavily. Such heavy braking
lowers the front portion of the vehi-
cle causing it to “ride” under a vehi-
cle with a higher ground clearance.
Air bags may not inflate in this
"under-ride" situation because
deceleration forces that are detect-
ed by sensors may be significantly
reduced by such “under-ride” colli-
sions.

Features of your vehicle
Deadlocks (if equipped)
Some vehicles are equipped with a
deadlock system. Deadlocks prevent
opening of a door from either inside
or outside the vehicle once the dead-
locks have been activated providing
an additional measure of vehicle
security.
To lock the vehicle using the deadlock
function, the doors must be locked by
using the transmitter or smart key. To
unlock the vehicle, the transmitter or
smart key must be used again.
Door lock/unlock features
Impact sensing door unlock sys-
tem
All doors will automatically unlock
when an impact causes the air bags
to deploy.
Speed sensing door lock system
(if equipped)
All doors will automatically lock after
the vehicle speed exceeds 9 mph
(15 km/h).
You can activate or deactivate the
auto door lock/unlock features in the
vehicle. Refer to "User setting" in this
section.
WARNING
Do not lock the doors with the
transmitter or the smart key
with anybody left in the vehicle.
The passenger in the vehicle
cannot unlock the doors with
the door lock button. For exam-
ple, if the door is locked with
the transmitter, the passenger
in the vehicle cannot unlock the
door without the transmitter.
WARNING- Unlocked
vehicles
Leaving your vehicle unlocked
can invite theft or possible harm
to you or others from someone
hiding in your vehicle whilst
you are gone. Always remove
the ignition key, engage the
parking brake, close all win-
dows and lock all doors when
leaving your vehicle unattend-
ed.
WARNING- Unattended
children
An enclosed vehicle can
become extremely hot, causing
death or severe injury to unat-
tended children or animals who
cannot escape the vehicle.
Furthermore, children might
operate features of the vehicle
that could injure them, or they
could encounter other harm,
possibly from someone gaining
entry to the vehicle. Never leave
children or animals unattended
in your vehicle.
