DISCLOSURES
Event Data RecordersThis vehicle is equipped with an event data recorder (EDR). The main purpose of
an EDR is to record, in certain crash or near crash-like situations, suc\
h as an air
bag deployment or hitting a road obstacle, data that will assist in unde\
rstanding
how a vehicle’s systems performed. The EDR is designed to record data related to
vehicle dynamics and safety systems for a short period of time, typicall\
y
30 seconds or less. The EDR in this vehicle is designed to record such d\
ata as:
•

How various systems in your vehicle were operating;
•


Whether or not the driver and passenger safety belts were buckled/fasten\
ed;
•


How far (if at all) the driver was depressing the accelerator and/or b\
rake
pedal; and,
•


How fast the vehicle was traveling.
These data can help provide a better understanding of the circumstances \
in
which crashes and injuries occur

. NOTE: EDR data are recorded by your vehicle
only if a non-trivial crash situation occurs; no data are recorded by th\
e EDR under
normal driving conditions and no personal data (e.g., name, gender, age, and
crash location) are recorded. However, other parties, such as law enforcement,
could combine the EDR data with the type of personally identifying data \
routinely
acquired during a crash investigation.
To read data recorded by an EDR, special equipment is required, and acces\
s to
the vehicle or the EDR is needed. In addition to the vehicle manufacture\
r, other
parties such as law enforcement that have the special equipment can read\
the
information if they have access to the vehicle or the EDR.
The data belong to the vehicle owner and may not be accessed by anyone e\
lse
except as legally required or with the permission of the vehicle owner.
Service Diagnostic Recorders
This vehicle is equipped with service-related devices that record inform\
ation
about powertrain performance. The data can be used to verify emissions l\
aw
requirements and/or help technicians diagnose and solve service problems. It may
also be combined with data from other sources for research purposes, but\

it remains confidential.

Important Handling Information
Your vehicle has higher ground clearance than a passenger vehicle designe\
d for
use only on pavement. Higher ground clearance has many advantages for of\
f-
highway driving. It allows you to travel over bumps, obstacles, and roug\
h terrain.
It also provides good visibility so you can anticipate problems earlier.
These advantages come at some cost. Because your vehicle is taller and rides
higher off the ground, it has a higher center gravity making it more sus\
ceptible
to tipping or rollover if you make abrupt turns. Utility vehicles have a\
significantly
higher rollover rate than other types of vehicles. In a rollover crash, \
an unbelted
person is significantly more likely to die than a person wearing a sea\
t belt. As a
reminder, make sure you and your passengers always wear seat belts.
Carbon Monoxide GasThe engine exhaust from this vehicle contains carbon monoxide, a colorle\
ss,
odorless, and highly toxic gas. As long as you properly maintain your ve\
hicle and
follow the instructions set forth below, you will not accumulate dangerous levels
of carbon monoxide gas in the vehicle interior.
Have the exhaust system inspected for leaks whenever:
•

The exhaust system is making an unusual noise.
•


The exhaust system may have been damaged.
•


The vehicle is raised for an oil change.
When you operate a vehicle with the tailgate open, airflow can pull ex\
haust gas
into the interior and create a hazardous condition. If you must drive wi\
th the
tailgate open, open all the windows and set the climate control system a\
s

shown
below.
1.

Select the fresh air mode.
2.


Select the mode.
3.

Set the fan speed to high.
4.


Set the temperature control to a comfortable setting.
Adjust the climate control system in the same manner if you sit in your \
p

arked
vehicle with the engine running.
An enclosed area such as a garage can quickly fill up with carbon mono\
xide gas.
Do not run the engine with the garage door closed. Even when the garage \
door is
open, drive out of the garage immediately after starting the engine.
Seat Belts
A seat belt is your best protection in all types of collisions. Airbags \
are designed to
supplement seat belts, not replace them. So even though your vehicle is \
equipped
with airbags, make sure you and your passengers always wear your seat belts and
wear them properly.
Lap/Shoulder Seat Belts
All five seating positions are equipped with lap/shoulder seat belts w\
ith
emergency locking retractors. In normal driving, the retractor lets you \
move
freely while keeping some tension on the belt. During a collision or sud\
den stop,
the retractor locks to restrain your body. The rear seat belts also have a lockable
retractor for use with child seats.
The front seats are equipped with automatic seat belt tensioners to enha\
nce
safety. The tensioners automatically tighten the front seat belts during a mod\
erate
to severe frontal collision, sometimes even if the collision is not seve\
re enough to
inflate the front airbags.
Proper Use of Seat BeltsFollow these guidelines for proper use:
•

All occupants should sit upright, well back in the seat, and remain in t\
ha
t
position for the duration of the trip. Slouching and leaning reduces the\

effectiveness of the belt and can increase the chance of serious injury \
in a
crash.
•

Never place the shoulder part of a lap/shoulder seat belt under your arm\
or
behind your back. This could cause very serious injuries in a crash.
•


T
wo people should never use the same seat belt. If they do, they could be\
very
seriously injured in a crash.
•

Do not put any accessories on the seat belts. Devices intended to improv\
e
comfort or reposition the shoulder part of a seat belt can reduce the pr\
otective
capability and increase the chance of serious injury in a crash.
•


No one should sit in a seat with an inoperative seat belt or one that do\
es not

appear to be working correctly. Using a seat belt that is not working properly
may not protect the occupant in a crash. Have a dealer check the belt as\
soon
as possible.
Carbon monoxide gas is toxic. Breathing it can cause unconsciousness and\

even kill you.
Avoid any enclosed areas or activities that expose you to carbon monoxide\
.
WARNING
Not wearing a seat belt properly increases the chance of a serious injur\
y or
death in a crash, even though your vehicle has airbags.
Be sure you and your passengers always wear seat belts and wear them
properly.

Never use the automatic brake hold system or rely on it to keep a vehicl\
e from
moving when stopped on a steep hill or slippery roads.
WARNING
Activating the automatic brake hold system to park the vehicle may resul\
t in
the vehicle unexpectedly moving.
If a vehicle moves unexpectedly, it may cause a crash, resulting in serious
injury or death.
Never leave the vehicle when braking is temporarily kept by automatic brake

applying the parking brake.
WARNING
Vehicle Stability Assist (VSA®)
Also knows as Electronic Stability Control (ESC), VSA helps to stabili\
ze the vehicle
during cornering if the vehicle turns more or less than what was intende\

assists in maintaining traction on slippery surfaces by regulating engin\
e output and
selectively applying the brakes.
Turning VSA On or Off
VSA is turned on every time you start the engine,
even if you previously turned it off. If you turn
VSA off, your vehicle has normal braking and
cornering ability, but not VSA traction and stability
enhancement.
Press and hold the VSA OFF button until you hear a
beep to turn VSA on or off. The VSA OFF indicator
appears when the system is off.

Forward Collision Warning (FCW)*
If the camera mounted between the windshield and the rearview mirror det\
ects
a vehicle in front of you when your vehicle speed is 15 km/h or higher—\
and it
determines there is a likelihood of a frontal collision—the system pr\
ovides you with
visual and audible warnings.
If you do not brake in time or take preventive
action, the FCW indicator blinks and a beep sounds
continuously.
Changing Vehicle DistancePress the FCW button to change the alert range for
the vehicle ahead of you. Each time you press the
button, the distance setting cycles through short,
