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, exteri\
or
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 u\
nder
the hood, causing a fire. If you’ve parked your vehicle for an exte\
nded period,
inspect and remove any debris that may have collected, such as dried gra\
ss 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 aft\
er 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 in the cargo area than the seat-back height.
•
Do not place anything in the front seat footwells. Make sure to secure t\
he 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 trunk.
•
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.
If the doors are frozen shut, use warm water around the door edges to me\
lt any
ice. Do not try to force them open, as this can damage the rubber trim a\
round the
doors. When done, wipe dry to avoid further freezing.

DRIVING
DRIVING
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 trunk or tow a trailer,
have the aiming readjusted at your dealer or by a qualified technician\
.
overloading or improper loading can affect handling and stability and cau\
se a
crash in which you can be hurt or killed.
Follow all load limits and other loading guidelines in this guide.
WARNING
Load limits example
Example 1
Max load
850 lbs
(385 kg) Passenger weight
150 lbs x 2 = 300 lbs (68 kg x 2 = 136 kg) Cargo
weight
550 lbs
(249 kg)
Example 2
Max load
850 lbs
(385 kg ) Passenger weight
150 lbs x 5 = 750 lbs (68 kg x 5 = 340 kg) Cargo
weight
100 lbs
(45 kg )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 befor\
e driving
(see page 95).
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 LoadThe 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. T

oo 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 ChecklistWhen preparing to tow, and before driving away, ensure the following:
•
The vehicle has been properly serviced, and the suspension and the cooli\
ng
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 scal\
e 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 driv
e.
