DRIVING
DRIVING
Towing a Trailer
Your vehicle can tow a trailer if you carefully observe the load limits, use the proper 
equipment, and follow the towing guidelines. Check the load limits before driving 
(see page 96).
Total Trailer Weight
Maximum allowable weight of the trailer, cargo, and 
everything in or on it must not exceed 1,000 lbs (450 
kg). Towing loads in excess of this can seriously
affect vehicle handling and performance and can
damage the engine and drivetrain.
Tongue Load
The weight of the tongue with a fully loaded trailer
on the hitch should be approximately 10% of the 
total trailer weight.
• 
excessive tongue load reduces front tire traction
and steering control. Too little tongue load can
make the trailer unstable and cause it to sway.
• To achieve a proper tongue load, start by loading 
60% of the load toward the front of the trailer and 
40% toward the rear. Readjust the load as needed.
Pre-tow Checklist
When preparing to tow, and before driving away, ensure the following:
• The vehicle has been properly serviced, and the suspension and the cooling 
system are in good operating condition.
•  Avoid towing a trailer during your vehicle’s first 600 miles (1,000 km).
• 
The trailer has been properly serviced and is in good condition.
•  All weights and loads are within limits. Never exceed the gross weight r\
atings.
• 
Check if all loads are within limits at a public scale. If a public scale is not 
available, add the estimated weight of your cargo load to the weight of your 
trailer (as quoted by the manufacturer) and the tongue load.
•  The hitch, safety chains, and any other attachments are secure.
•  All items in or on the trailer are properly secured and cannot shift whi\
le you drive.
exceeding any load limit or improperly loading your vehicle and trailer c\
an
cause a crash in which you can be seriously hurt or killed.
Check the loading of your vehicle and trailer carefully before starting to drive.

Remote Engine Start*
Start your vehicle’s engine using the remote transmitter before you enter the vehicle.
Make sure the vehicle is in a safe location when using remote engine start (i.e., a
well-ventilated area, away from any flammable materials).
Starting the Engine
Press the Lock button, then press and hold the Engine button within 5 seconds to 
remotely start the engine.
The engine runs for up to 10 minutes. To extend the run time for another 10
minutes, repeat the procedure during the initial 10 minutes.
While the engine is running, the climate control system adjusts the cabin 
temperature, the security system remains on, and lights and accessories remain
off.
Stopping the Engine
Press and hold the Engine button.
The engine will also stop if it has been running for more than 10 minutes, or if any 
door is opened without using the remote or smart entry.

HANDLING THE UNEXPECTED
HANDLING THE UNEXPECTED
Emergency Engine Stop*
The ENGINE START/STOP button may be used to stop the engine due to an 
emergency situation even while driving. If you must stop the engine, choose one of 
the following operations:
• 
Press and hold the ENGINE START/STOP button for 
two seconds, or
• 
Firmly press the ENGINE START/STOP button two 
times.
The steering wheel will not lock. Because turning off the engine also disables the 
power assist the engine provides to the steering and braking systems, it will require 
significantly more physical effort and time to steer and slow the vehi\
cle. Downshift
gears and use both feet on the brake pedal, if necessary, to slow the vehicle and 
stop immediately in a safe place.
Do not press the button while driving unless it is absolutely necessary for the engine 
to be switched off.
*if equipped
Trying to lift or tow your vehicle by the bumpers will cause serious damage. The 
bumpers are not designed to support the vehicle’s weight.
Improper towing such as towing behind a motorhome or other motor vehicle can 
damage the transmission.
NOTICE
Emergency Towing
Call a professional towing service if you need to tow your vehicle.
Flat bed equipment: The operator loads your vehicle on the back of a truck. This is
the best way to transport your vehicle.
Wheel lift equipment: The tow truck uses two pivoting arms that go under the front 
tires and lift them off the ground. The rear tires remain on the ground.\
This is an
acceptable way to tow your vehicle.

Tire and Loading Information Label
The label attached to the driver’s doorjamb provides necessary tire and 
loading information.Using tires that are excessively worn or improperly inflated can cause\

a crash in which you can be seriously hurt or killed.
Follow all instructions in this owner’s manual regarding tire inflation
and maintenance
.
WARNING
Tire and Wheel Replacement
Replace your tires with radials of the same size, load range, speed rating, and 
maximum cold tire pressure rating (as shown on the tire’s sidewall). Using tires
of a different size or construction can cause certain vehicle systems to work 
incorrectly. It is best to replace all four tires at the same time. If that isn’t possible, 
replace the front or rear tires in pairs.
If you change or replace a wheel, make sure that the wheel’s specifications match 
those of the original wheels. only use TPMS-specified wheels approved for your
vehicle.

Installing improper tires on your vehicle can affect handling and stability.
This can cause a crash in which you can be seriously hurt or killed.
Always use the size and type of tires recommended in the Owner’s Manual.
WARNING
Tire Service Life
The life of your tires is dependent on many factors, including driving habits, road 
conditions, vehicle loading, inflation pressure, maintenance history, speed, and
environmental conditions (even when the tires are not in use).
In addition to regular inspections and inflation pressure maintenance, it is 
recommended that you have annual inspections performed once the tires re\
ach
five years old. All tires, including the spare, should be removed from service after 
10 years from the date of manufacture, regardless of their condition or \
state of
wear.
Winter Tires
If driving on snowy or frozen roads, mount all season tires marked “M+S”, snow 
tires, or tire chains; reduce speed; and maintain sufficient distance between 
vehicles when driving. For winter tires, select the size and load ranges that are the 
same as the original tires, and mount them to all four wheels.
Tire Chains
Install tire chains on the front tires only. Because your vehicle has limited tire 
clearance, we strongly recommend using the following chains:
For 205/65R16 tires:
Cable-type: SCC Radial Chain SC1034
For 215/55R17 tires:
Cable-type: SCC Radial Chain SC1036
For 235/40R19 tires:
Cable-type: SCC Radial Chain SC1040
Mount chains as tightly as you can, and make sure that they do not touch\
the
brake lines or suspension.
Traction devices that are the wrong size or improperly installed can damage your 
vehicle’s brake lines, suspension, body, and wheels. Stop driving if they are hitting 
any part of the vehicle.
NOTICE
Using the wrong chains, or not properly installing chains, can damage th\
e
brake lines and cause a crash in which you can be seriously injured or killed.
Follow all instructions in this guide regarding the selection and use of\
tire
chains.
