Overuse of the brake can cause weakening, resulting in poor brake response and prema- ture wear of the brake pads. When driving down a long or steep hill, useengine braking
by downshifting.
N00517600364
Your vehicle is equipped with power brakes for more braking force with less brake pedal effort.Your brakes are designed to operate at full capacity, even if the power assist is not being used.If the power assist is not being used, the effort needed to press the brake pedal is greater. If you should lose the power assist for somereason, the brakes will still work. If the power brake unit or either of the two brake hydraulic systems stops working prop-erly, the rest of the brake system will still work, but the vehicle will not slow down as quickly.You will know this has happened if you find you need to press the brake down farther, or harder when slowing down or stopping, or ifthe brake warning light and the warning dis- play in the multi-information display come on.
To w i n g
CAUTION Do not tow 4-wheel drive vehicles with the front or rear wheels on the ground (Type A or Type B) as illustrate
d. This could result in
damage to the drivetrain, or unstable towing.If you tow 4-wheel drive vehicles, use TypeC or Type D equipment. Even in “4WD ECO” (Electronically con- trolled 4WD) or “AWC ECO” (S-AWC) drive mode, the vehicle cannot be towed with the front or the rear wheels on theground.
Jacking up a 4-wheel drive vehicle
WA R N I N G Do not crank the engine while jacking up the vehicle. The tire on the ground may turn and thevehicle may roll off the jack.
Service brake Brake pedal
WA R N I N G Do not leave any objects near the brake pedal or let a floor mat slide under it;doing so could prevent the full pedal stroke that would be necessary in an emergency. Make sure that the pedal canbe operated freely at all times. Make sure the floor mat is securely held in place.
CAUTION It is important not to drive the vehicle with your foot resting on the brake pedal whenbraking is not required.
This practice can
result in very high brake temperatures, pre- mature lining wear, a
nd possible damage to
the brakes.

and the FCM judges that there is the risk of a collision, the system
will give audible and
visual warnings. When the FCM judges that a collision with the vehicle or the pedest
rian straight-ahead is
imminent, the system will automatically apply moderate braking to warn you to apply the brakes immediately. When the FCM judges that a collision with the vehicle or the pedest
rian straight-ahead is
highly unavoidable, th
e system will apply
emergency braking to reduce the severity of the collision and, if possible, to avoid the col-lision. Stop lights are illuminated during automatic braking.If you turn the FCM ON/OFF, the Ultrasonic misacceleration Mitigation System also turns ON/OFF at the same time. (Vehicle isequipped with the Ultr
asonic misacceleration
Mitigation System.)
WA R N I N G Before using the FCM, read this entire section to fully understand the limitationsof this system. Failure to follow instruc- tions could result
in an accident.
The FCM is designed
to help avoid certain
frontal collisions or reduce the crashspeed in such collisions. It is not a substi-tute for your safe and careful driving. Under certain circumstances, the system may not operate or may not detect cor-rectly a vehicle or a
pedestrian in front.
When your vehicle is
approaching a vehi-
cle or a pedestri
an too closely, take all nec-
essary actions to avoid
a collision, such as
braking and
steering, regardless of
whether the FCM is
activated or not.
Never rely on the FCM to prevent a colli- sion. Never attempt to test the operation of the FCM. Doing so could cause an accident, resulting in seriou
s injury or death.

th a vehicle or the
pedestrian in front, this function warns you of the potential hazard with
visual and audible
alarms.When this function is triggered, a buzzer sounds and, at the sa
me time, a “BRAKE”
message appears on the information screen of the multi-information display. The FCM will also prepare to provide quickbrake response and greater brake force when you apply the brakes. The forward collision
warning function oper-
ates when the following vehicle speed:  Against a vehicle: Approximately 10 mph (15 km/h) to 87 mph (140 km/h).  Against a pedestrian: Approximately 5 mph (7 km/h) to 40 mph (65 km/h).

WA R N I N G If the ASC is turned off, the FCM braking function will not operate. Refer to “Activestability control” on page 5-100. If the brake pedal is not depressed within 2 seconds after your vehicle has beenstopped by the FCM,
a warning buzzer
will sound and the brakes activated by the FCM will automatically be released.Apply the brakes as
necessary to keep
your vehicle stationary. The FCM will not activate and will not provide either warnin
g or braking in cer-
tain situations. Some of these include:• When the selector lever is in the “P”(PARK) or “R” (R
EVERSE) position.
• When an object other
than a vehicle or a
pedestrian is in front.• When the FCM has detected a problemin the system.• When a vehicle or a
pedestrian suddenly
cuts in front of your vehicle.
 The FCM may or may not detect a motor- cycle, bicycle or wall depending on the sit-uation. The FCM is not designed to detect these objects. The forward collision warning function and/or the FCM brakin
g function may not
activate in certain
situations. Some of
these include:• When a vehicle sudden
ly appears just in
front of your vehicle.• When a vehicle cuts
into your path at a
close distance.

N00629700435 N00630301092
To determine the cargo load capacity for your vehicle, subtract the
weight of all vehicle
occupants from the vehi
cle capacity weight.
For additional information, if needed, refer to “Steps for Determining Correct Load Limit” on page 6-8. DO NOT USE the Gross Vehicle Weight Rat- ing and Gross Axle Weight Rating numberslisted on the safety certification label located on the inside sill of the driver’s door as the guide for passengers and/or cargo weight.(Except for Vehicles for Mexico)
N00630401123
Cargo loads Cargo load precautions
WA R N I N G To reduce the risk of serious injury or death, the combined weights of the driver,passengers and cargo and must neverexceed the vehicle capacity weight. Exceeding the vehicle capacity weight will adversely affect ve
hicle performance,
including handling and braking, and may cause an accident. Do not load cargo or luggage higher than the top of the seatback. Be sure that yourcargo or luggage cann
ot move when your
vehicle is in motion. Having either the re
ar view blocked, or
your cargo being thrown
inside the cabin
if you suddenly have to brake can cause a serious accident or
injury or death.
Put cargo or luggage in the cargo area of your vehicle. Try to spread the weightevenly.
Loading cargo on the roof
WA R N I N G Weight placed on the
roof of the vehicle
will raise the vehicle’ and adversely affect
its handling charac-
teristics. As a result, driving errors oremergency maneuvers could lead to a loss of control and result in an accident. Drive slowly and avoid excessive maneuverssuch as sudden brak
ing or quick turning.
Make sure that the
weight of luggage and
the roof carrier do not exceed the maxi-mum roof load, 110 lb (50 kg). If the maxi-mum roof load is ex
ceeded, this could
cause damage to the ve
hicle or result in an
accident. The total weight of all occupants and lug- gage, including your r
oof load, must not
exceed the vehicle capacity weight. For more information, refer to “Tire and load- ing information placard” on page 11-3 Roof load is determined by adding the weight of the roof
carrier and the weight
of the luggage placed
on the roof carrier.
For additional information, refer to “Maximum roof load” on page 11-5.CAUTION Do not load luggage directly onto the roof. Use a roof carrier that properly fits your vehicle. For installation, refer to the instruction man-ual provided with the roof carrier. Place the luggage on the carrier so that its weight is distri
buted evenly with the heaviest
items on the bottom. Do not load items that are wider than the roof carrier.WA R N I N G
