87 or higher (except Europe).
For customers who do not use good quality petrols including fuel addi-
tives regularly, and have problems
starting or the engine does not run
smoothly, one bottle of additives
added to the fuel tank at every
15,000km (For Europe, Australia and
New Zealand)/10,000km (Except

Safety features of your vehicle
WARNING- Loose objects
Loose objects in the driver’s
foot area could interfere with
the operation of the foot pedals,
possibly causing an accident.
Do not place anything under the
front seats.WARNING - Driver
responsibility for front seat
passenger
Riding in a vehicle with a front
seatback reclined could lead to
serious or fatal injury in an acci-
dent. If a front seat is reclined
during an accident, the occu-
pant’s hips may slide under the
lap portion of the seat belt
applying great force to the
unprotected abdomen. Serious or fatal internal injuries
could result. The driver must
advise the front passenger to
keep the seatback in an upright
position whenever the vehicle isin motion.

WARNING
Do not use a sitting cushion that reduces friction between the
seat and passenger. The passen-
ger's hips may slide under the
lap portion of the seat belt dur-
ing an accident or a sudden
stop. Serious or fatal internalinjuries could result because the
seat belt can't operate normally.
WARNING - Driver’s seat
Never attempt to adjust seat whilst the vehicle is moving. This could result in loss of
control, and an accident caus-
ing death, serious injury, or
property damage.
Do not allow anything to inter- fere with the normal position of
the seatback. Storing items
against a seatback or in any
other way interfering with prop-
er locking of a seatback could
result in serious or fatal injury
in a sudden stop or collision.

No passenger should ride in
the cargo area or sit or lie on

When resetting the seatback to the upright position, make
sure it is securely latched by
pushing it forward and back-
wards.
WARNING
After adjusting the seat, always
check that it is securely locked
into place by attempting to

ward without using the lock
release lever. Sudden or unex-

ver's seat could cause you to
lose control of the vehicleresulting in an accident.
(Continued)
Always drive and ride with your seatback upright and the lap
portion of the seat belt snug
and low across the hips. This
is the best position to protect
you in case of an accident.
In order to avoid unnecessary and perhaps severe air bag
injuries, always sit as far back
as possible from the steeringwheel whilst maintaining
comfortable control of the
vehicle. It is recommended
that your chest is at least 250
mm (10 inches) away from thesteering wheel.WARNING - Rear
seatbacks
The rear seatback must be securely latched. If not, pas-
sengers and objects could be
thrown forward resulting in
serious injury or death in the
event of a sudden stop or col-lision.
Luggage and other cargo should be laid flat in the cargo
area. If objects are large,
heavy, or must be piled, they
must be secured. Under no
circumstances should cargobe piled higher than the seat-
backs. Failure to follow thesewarnings could result in seri-
ous injury or death in the
event of a sudden stop, colli-
sion or rollover.
