Convenient features of your vehicle
•Use only approved portable
plastic fuel containers
designed to carry and store
petrol.
•Do not use matches or a
lighter and do not smoke or
leave a lit cigarette in your
vehicle whilst at a gas station,
especially during refuelling.
•Do not over-fill or top-off your
vehicle tank, which can cause
petrol spillage.
•If a fire breaks out during refu-
elling, leave the vicinity of the
vehicle, and immediately con-
tact the manager of the gas
station and then contact the
local fire department. Follow
any safety instructions they
provide.
•When refuelling, always move
the shift lever to the P (Park,
for dual clutch transmission)
or first gear or R (Reverse, for
manual transmission) posi-
tion, set the parking brake, and
place the ignition switch to the
LOCK/OFF position. Sparks
produced by electrical compo-
nents related to the engine can
ignite fuel
vapourscausing a
fire.
•When using an approved
portable fuel container, be
sure to place the container on
the ground prior to refuelling.
Static electricity discharge
from the container can ignite
fuel vapours causing a fire.
Once refuelling has begun,
contact between your bare
hand and the vehicle should
be maintained until the filling
is complete.
•Do not use mobile phones
whilst refuelling. Electric cur-
rent and/or electronic interfer-
ence from mobile phones can
potentially ignite fuel vapours
and cause a fire.
•Do not get back into a vehicle
once you have begun refu-
elling. You can generate a
build-up of static electricity by
touching, rubbing or sliding
against any item or fabric
capable of producing static
electricity.
Static electricity discharge
can ignite fuel vapours caus-
ing a fire. If you must re-enter
the vehicle, you should once
again eliminate potentially
dangerous static electricity
discharge by touching a metal
part of the vehicle, away from
the fuel filler neck, nozzle or
other petrol source, with your
bare hand.

Headlamp levelling device (if equipped)
Manual type
To adjust the headlamp beam level
according to the number of the pas-
sengers and loading weight in the
luggage area, turn the beam levelling
switch.
The higher the number on the switch
position, the lower the headlamp
beam level. Always keep the head-
light beam at the proper levelling
position, or headlamps may dazzle
other road users. Listed below are examples of appro-
priate switch settings for varying
loads. For loading conditions other
than those listed, adjust the switch
position to the most similar situation.

when the engine is running and the
shift lever is in the R (Reverse) posi-
tion.This is a supplemental system that
shows behind the vehicle through
the mirror or navigation display
whilst backing-up.
• Do not spray the camera or its
surrounding area directly with a
high pressure washer. Shock
applied from high pressure
water may cause the device to
not operate normally.

The Rear view monitor is not a
safety device. It only serves to
assist the driver in identifying
objects directly behind the mid-
dle of the vehicle. The camera
does NOT cover the complete
area behind the vehicle.
WARNING
•Never rely solely on the rear
camera display when backing-
up.
•ALWAYS look around your
vehicle to make sure there are
no objects or obstacles before
moving the vehicle in any
direction to prevent a collision.
•Always pay close attention
when the vehicle is driven
close to objects, particularly
pedestrians, and especially
children.

backing up with the ignition switch
in the ON position. However, if vehi-
cle speed exceeds 3 mph (5 km/h),
the system may not detect objects.
• If vehicle speed exceeds 6 mph (10 km/h), the system will not warn you
even though objects are detected.
• When more than two objects are sensed at the same time, the clos-
est one will be recognised first.
•ALWAYS look around your vehi-
cle to make sure there are not
any objects or obstacles before
moving the vehicle in any direc-
tion to prevent a collision.
•Always pay close attention
when the vehicle is driven close
to objects, particularly pedestri-
ans, and especially children.
•Be aware that some objects
may not be visible on the
screen or be detected by the
sensors, due to the objects
distance, size or material, all of
which can limit the effective-
ness of the sensor.

WINDSCREEN DEFROSTING AND DEFOGGING
Convenient features of your vehicle• For maximum windscreen defrost-ing, set the temperature control
knob to the highest temperature
setting and the fan control knob to
the highest fan speed. Select the
front defrost button on the climate
control display. After the engine
warm-up period, warm air will be
directed to the front windscreen.
• If warm air to the floor is desired whilst defrosting or defogging, set
the mode to the floor-defrost posi-
tion.
• Before driving, clear all snow and ice from the windscreen, rear win-
dow, outside rear view mirrors, and
all side windows.
• Clear all snow and ice from the bon- net and air inlet in the cowl grill to
improve heater and defroster effi-
ciency and to reduce the probability
of fogging up inside of the wind-
screen.
Information
If the engine temperature is still cold
after starting, then a brief engine warm
up period may be required for the
vented air flow to become warm or hot.

•The following specification is
the maximum weight that can
be loaded onto the roof rack.
Distribute the load as evenly
as possible onto the roof rack
and secure the load firmly.
Loading cargo or luggage in
excess of the specified weight
limit on the roof rack may
damage your vehicle.
•The vehicle centre of gravity
will be higher when items are
loaded onto the roof rack.
Avoid sudden starts, braking,
sharp turns, abrupt manoeu-
vers or high speeds that may
result in loss of vehicle con-
trol or rollover resulting in an
accident.
•Always drive slowly and turn
corners carefully when carry-
ing items on the roof rack.
Severe wind updrafts, caused
by passing vehicles or natural
causes, can cause sudden
upward pressure on items
loaded on the roof rack. This
is especially true when carry-
ing large, flat items such as
wood panels or mattresses.
This could cause the items to
fall off the roof rack and cause
damage to your vehicle or
others around you.
•To prevent damage or loss of
cargo whilst driving, check
frequently before or whilst
driving to make sure the items
on the roof rack are securely
fastened.
