DRIVING
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 ammable materials left under the
hood, causing a re. 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 ammable 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.
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
In addition: • During the rst 600 miles (1,000 km) of operation, avoid sudden acceleration or full
throttle operation so as not to damage the engine or powertrain.
• Avoid hard braking for the rst 200 miles (300 km). You should also follow this when
the brake pads are replaced.
Improper accessories or modi cations can affect your vehicle’s handling,
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 modi cations.
WARNING
Interior Checks
• Store or secure all items on board properly.
• Do not place anything in the front-seat footwells. Make sure to secure the oor
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 trunk.
• Adjust your seating position, mirrors, and steering wheel properly.
• Make sure items placed on the oor 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 start the
vehicle, and go off soon after.

MAINTENANCE
HANDLING THE UNEXPECTED
Inspecting and Changing Fuses
1. Turn the vehicle off, including all lights and
accessories.
2. Remove the fuse box cover.
3. Check the large fuse in the engine compartment.
4. If the fuse is blown, use a Phillips-head screwdriver to remove the screws and replace the fuse with a new one. Reinstall the screws.
5. Inspect the small fuses in the engine compartment and the vehicle interior.
6. If there is a burned out fuse, remove it with the fuse puller and replace it with a new one.Blown fuse
Combined fuse
Fuse puller
Replacing a fuse with one that has a higher rating greatly increases the chances of damaging the electrical system.
