Emergency precautions
Tyres
When replacing the tyres, be sure to
equip all four tyres with the tyre and
wheel of the same size, type, tread,
brand and load-carrying capacity.In an emergency situation, a compact
spare tyre may be used. But, do not
use the compact spare tyre continu-
ously. Repair or replace the original
tyre as soon as possible to avoid fail-
ure of the differential or AWD system. Exercise extreme caution driv-
ing up or down steep hills. The
vehicle may flip depending on
the grade, terrain and water/mud
conditions.
WARNING  
OLMB053017
Never start or run the engine
whilst an AWD vehicle is raised
on a jack. The vehicle can slip or
roll off of a jack causing serious
injury or death to you or those
nearby.
WARNING  
ODH053139
Do not use tyre and wheel with
different size and type from the
one originally installed on your
vehicle. It can affect the safety
and performance of your vehi-
cle, which could lead to steering
failure or rollover causing seri-
ous injury.

Specifications & Consumer information*1: Refer to the recommended SAE viscosity numbers on the next page.
*2: Engine oils labelled Energy Conserving Oil are now available. Along with other additional benefits, they contribute to fuel econ-
omy by reducing the amount of fuel necessary to overcome engine friction. Often, these improvements are difficult to measure
in everyday driving, but in a year’s time, they can offer significant cost and energy savings.
