1.Locate the statement “The com- bined weight of occupants and cargo should never exceed XXX kg or XXX lbs.” on your vehicle’splacard.2.Determine the combined weightof the driver and passengers thatwill be riding in your vehicle.3.Subtract the combined weight ofthe driver and passengers fromXXX kg or XXX lbs.4.The resulting figure equals theavailable amount of cargo andluggage load capacity. For exam- ple, if the “XXX” amount equals 1400 lbs. and th
ere will be five
150 lbs. passengers in your vehi- cle, the amount of available cargo and luggage load capacity is 650lbs. (1400 - 750 (5 x 150) = 650lbs.)
5.Determine the combined weightof luggage and cargo being loaded on the vehicle. That weight may not safely exceed the availablecargo and luggage load capacity calculated in Step 4.6.If your vehicle will be towing a trailer, load from your trailer will be transferred to your vehicle. Consult this manual to determinehow this reduces the available cargo and luggage load capacity of your vehicle.
Steps for Determining Correct Load Limit
NOTE
The above steps for determining correct load limit were written in accordance with U.S.A. regula- tions.Your vehicle cannot tow a trailer, so step 6 is irrelevant.

cally and check that
the load remains secure. If the load is not secure, it could fall from the vehicle anddamage your vehicle,
another vehicle or cre-
ate a road hazard.NOTE
 To prevent wind noise or reduction in gas mileage, remove the roof carrier when not in use.  Before using an automatic car wash, check with the attendant to determine if the roofcarrier should be removed.  Be sure that adequate clearance is main- tained for raising the trunk lid during loading luggage on the roof carrier.CAUTION

1. Park the vehicle in the shade whenever possible. Parking in the hot sun makes the vehicle interior extremely hot which thenrequires more time to
cool. If it is neces-
sary to park in the sun, open the windows for the first few minut
es of air condition-
ing to expel the hot air. 2. Afterwards, keep the windows closed when the air conditioning is in use. The entry of outside air through open windows will reduce cooling efficiency.3. When running the air conditioning, make sure the air intake, which is located in front of the windshield, is free of obstruc-tions such as leaves. Leaves collected in the air-intake chamber may reduce air flow and plug the water drains.
If the air conditioning seems less effective than usual, the cause might be a refrigerant leak.
NOTE
 While the mode selection is set “ ” posi- tion, the air conditioni
ng compressor will run
automatically. The out
side air position will
also be selected automatically.  If the mode selection is set “ ” position, you cannot turn the air conditioning off or select the recirculati
on position. This pre-
vents the windows from fogging up.  To defog quickly, direct the air flow from the side vents toward the door windows.  When defrosting, do not set the temperature to the maximum cool position. This will blow cool air on the window glass and fog it up.

Handling of compact discs Comfort controls 7-43

 In the following circumstances, moisture can form on compact discs and inside theaudio system, preventing normal opera- tion. • When there is high humidity (for exam-ple, when it is raining). • When the temperature suddenly rises, such as right after the heater is turned onin cold weather. In this case, wait until the moisture has had time to dry out.
 When the CD player is subjected to vio- lent vibrations, such as during off-roaddriving, the tracking may not work.  When storing compact discs, always store them in their separate
cases. Never place
compact discs in dire
ct sunlight, or any-
where the temperature or humidity is high. Never touch the flat surface of the disc where there isn’t a label. This will damage the disc surface and
could affect the sound
quality. When handli
ng a compact disc,
always hold it by the outer edge and thecenter hole.  To clean a disc, use a soft, clean, dry cloth. Wipe directly
from the center hole
toward the outer edge. Do not wipe in a circle. Never use any chemicals such as benzine, paint thinner, a disc spraycleaner, or an anti-static agent on the disc.  Do not use a ball point pen, felt pen, pen- cil, etc. to write on the label surface of thedisc.  Do not put additional labels or stickers on compact discs. Also, do not use any com-pact disc on which a
label or sticker has
started to peel off or any compact disc that has stickiness or othe
r contamination left
by a peeled-off label or sticker. If you use such a compact disc, the CD player may stop working properly and you may not beable to eject the compact disc.
N00751900066
 You may have trouble playing back some CD-R/RW discs recorded on CD record- ers (CD-R/RW drives), either due to theirrecording characterist
ics or dirt, finger-
prints, scratches, etc.
on the disc surface.
 CD-R/RW discs are less resistant to high temperatures and high humidity than ordi- nary music CDs and can therefore be damaged and rendered unplayable if left inside your vehicle for a long time.  Depending on the combination of the writing software, the CD recorder (CD- R/RW drive), and the disc used to create a CD-R/RW, the disc might not play suc-cessfully.  This player cannot play the CD-R/RW discs if the sessi
on is not closed.
 This player cannot play CD-R/RW discs which contain data other than CD-DA or MP3 data (Video CD, etc.). Be sure to observe the handling instruc- tions for the CD-R/RW disc.
