Using heavier suspension
components to get added
durability might not change the
weight ratings. Ask your dealer
to help load the vehicle properly.
{Warning
Things inside the vehicle can
strike and injure people in a
sudden stop or turn, or in a
crash.
.Put things in the cargo
area of the vehicle. In the
cargo area, put them as
far forward as possible.
Try to spread the weight
evenly.
.Never stack heavier
things, like suitcases,
inside the vehicle so that
some of them are above
the tops of the seats.

New Vehicle Break-In
Caution
The vehicle does not need an
elaborate break-in. But it will
perform better in the long run if
you follow these guidelines for the
first 2 000 km (1,200 mi): . Do not drive at any one
constant speed, fast or slow.
. Avoid quick starts. Avoid
accelerating at full-throttle in
any gear. Do not exceed
4000 rpm.
. Avoid downshifting to brake
or slow the vehicle.
. Avoid making hard stops.
During this time the new
brake linings are not yet
broken in. Hard stops with
new linings can mean

156 Driving and Operating
ABS can change the brake pressure
to each wheel, as required, faster
than any driver could. This can help
you steer around the obstacle while
braking hard.
As the brakes are applied, the
computer keeps receiving updates
on wheel speed and controls
braking pressure accordingly.
Remember: ABS does not change
the time needed to get a foot up to
the brake pedal or always decrease
stopping distance. If you get too
close to the vehicle in front of you,
there will not be enough time to
apply the brakes if that vehicle
suddenly slows or stops. Always
leave enough room up ahead to
stop, even with ABS.
Using ABS
Do not pump the brakes. Just hold
the brake pedal down firmly and let
ABS work. You may hear the ABS
pump or motor operating and feel
the brake pedal pulsate. This is
normal.
Braking in Emergencies
ABS allows you to steer and brake
at the same time. In many
emergencies, steering can help
more than even the very best
braking.
Brake Force Distribution
During braking while driving through
turns, the system optimizes the
distribution of force to each of the
four wheels depending on the radius
of the turn.
Parking Brake
To apply the parking brake, pull up
on the parking brake handle. It is
not necessary to press the release
button in while applying the parking
brake. If the ignition is in the ON/
RUN position, the brake system
warning light will come on. See
Brake System Warning Light093.
{Warning
.
Be sure the parking brake is
fully released before driving.
Failure to do so can cause
brake failure and lead to an
accident.
. Do not release the parking
brake from outside the
vehicle.
. Do not use the shift lever in
place of the parking brake.
When parking, be sure the
parking brake is fully
engaged.
. To help avoid risk of injury
or death, do not leave
children, people who require

Operating Tips
Caution
.Do not use alcohol, benzine
or thinner to clean the
camera. This will cause
discoloration. To clean the
camera, wipe with a cloth
dampened with a diluted
mild cleaning agent and
then wipe with a dry cloth.
. Do not damage the camera
as the monitor screen may
be adversely affected. .
When the shift lever is shifted to
R (Reverse), the screen
automatically changes to the
RVC mode. However, the radio
can be heard.
. It may take some time until the
RVC is displayed after the shift
lever has been shifted to
R (Reverse). Objects may be
distorted momentarily until the
RVC screen is displayed
completely. When the shift lever
is returned to a position other
than R (Reverse), it may take
some time until the screen
changes. Objects on the screen
may be distorted until they are
completely displayed.
. When the temperature is
extremely high or low, the
screen may not clearly display
objects. This is not a
malfunction.
. When strong light directly enters
the camera, objects may not be
displayed clearly. .
Vertical lines may be seen in
objects on the screen. This is
due to strong reflected light from
the bumper. This is not a
malfunction.
. The screen may flicker under
fluorescent light. This is not a
malfunction.
. The colors of objects on the
display may differ somewhat
from those of the actual object.
. When the contrast of objects is
low at night, pressing the
SETTING button or MENU
button may not change the
brightness.
. Objects on the display may not
be clear in a dark place or at
night.
. If dirt, rain or snow attaches to
the camera, the RVC may not
display objects. Clean the
camera.
. Do not use body wax on the
camera window. If body wax
does get on the camera window,

0 191.Engine Oil
To ensure proper engine
performance and long life, careful
attention must be paid to engine oil.
Following these simple, but
important steps will help protect
your investment:
.
Use engine oil approved to the
proper specification and of the
proper viscosity grade. See
“Selecting the Right Engine Oil”
in this section.
. Check the engine oil level
regularly and maintain the
proper oil level. See “Checking
Engine Oil” and“When to Add
Engine Oil” in this section.
. Change the engine oil at the
appropriate time. See
Maintenance Schedule 0246.
. Always dispose of engine oil
properly. See “What to Do with
Used Oil” in this section.
Checking Engine Oil
Check the engine oil level regularly,
every 650 km (400 mi), especially
prior to a long trip. The engine oil
dipstick handle is a loop. See
Engine Compartment Overview
0181 for the location.
{Warning
The engine oil dipstick handle
may be hot; it could burn you.
Use a towel or glove to touch the
dipstick handle.
If a low oil Driver Information Center
(DIC) message displays, check the
oil level.
Follow these guidelines:
. To get an accurate reading, park
the vehicle on level ground.
Check the engine oil level after
the engine has been off for at
least two hours. Checking the
engine oil level on steep grades
or too soon after engine shutoff
can result in incorrect readings.
Accuracy improves when
