Advanced automobile manufacturing tech- niques permit you to operate your new vehi- cle without requiring
a long break-in period
of low-speed driving. However, you can add to the future perfor- mance and economy of your vehicle byobserving the followi
ng precautions during
the first 300 miles (500 km). Drive your vehicle at moderate speeds during the break-in period.  Avoid revving the engine.  Avoid rough driving such as sudden starts, sudden acceleration, prolonged high- speed driving and sudden braking. These would have a detrimen
tal effect on the
engine and also cause increased fuel and oil consumption, wh
ich could result in
malfunction of the engine components. Beparticularly careful to
avoid full accelera-
tion while in low shift position (low gears). Do not overload the ve
hicle. Stay within
the seating capacity. (Refer to “Cargo load precautions” on page 6-10.) Do not use this vehi
cle for trailer towing.

transaxle. When this ha
ppens, it is difficult to
move the selector lever out of the “P”(PARK) position. Never leave the engine running while you take a short nap or rest. Also, never leave the engine running in a closed or poorly venti- lated place. Your front bumper can be damaged if you scrape it over curbs or parking stop blocks. Be careful when traveling up or down steep slopes where your bumper can scrape theroad.
More effort could be required to turn the steering wheel. Refer to “Electric
power steering system
(EPS)” on page 5-50. Always carry the key and lock all doors when leaving the vehicle unattended. Always try to park your vehicle in a well lit area.

It is very importa
nt to know how much
weight your vehicle can carry. This weight iscalled the vehicle capacity weight and includes the weight of
all occupants, cargo,
non-factory-installed options, if any, beingtowed. The tire and load
ing information plac-
ard located on the driver’s door sill of your vehicle will show how
much weight it may
properly carry. It is important to familiarize yourself with the following terms before
loading your vehicle:
 Vehicle maximum load on the tire: load on an individual tire th
at is determined by
distributing to each ax
le its share of the
maximum loaded vehicle weight and dividing by two.  Vehicle normal load on the tire: load on an individual tire that is
determined by dis-
tributing to each axle its share of the curb weight, accessory
weight, and normal
occupant weight and dividing by two.  Maximum loaded vehicle weight: the sum of -(a) Curb weight; (b) Accessory weight; (c) Vehicle capacity weight; and(d) Production options weight.
Parking with the engine run- ning
WA R N I N G Leaving the engine ru
nning risks injury or
death from accidentally moving the gear-shift lever (manual transaxle) or the selec- tor lever (CVT) or from the accumulation of toxic exhaust fumes in the passengercompartment.
Where you park
WA R N I N G Do not park your vehicle in areas where combustible materials
such as dry grass or
leaves can come in contact with a hotexhaust, since a fire could occur.
Do not keep the steering wheel fully turned for a long time When leaving the vehicle Loading information
WA R N I N G Never overload your ve
hicle. Overloading
can damage your vehicle, adversely affectvehicle performance, including handling and braking, cause tire failure, and result in an accident.

 Curb weight: the weight of a motor vehi- cle with standard e
quipment including the
maximum capacity of fuel, oil, and cool- ant.  Accessory weight: the combined weight (in excess of those
standard items which
may be replaced) of automatic transmis- sion, power steering, power brakes, powerwindows, power seats, radio, and heater, to the extent that these items are available as factory- installed equipment (whether installed or not).  Vehicle capacity weight: the rated cargo and luggage load plus 150 lbs (68 kg)
*
times the vehicle’s designated seating capacity. Production options weight: the combined weight of those inst
alled regular produc-
tion options weighing over 5 lbs (2.3 kg)in excess of those standard items which they replace, not previously considered in curb weight or acce
ssory weight, includ-
ing heavy duty brakes, ride levelers, roof rack, heavy duty battery
, and special trim.
 Normal occupant weight: 150 lbs (68 kg)
*
times the number of specified occupants. (In your vehicle the number is 3)  Occupant distribution:
Occupant distribu-
tion within the passenger compartment (In your vehicle the distribution is 2 in front, 1 in second row seat)

The tire and loading information placard islocated on the inside sill of the driver’s door. This placard shows the maximum number of occupants permitted to ri
de in your vehicle as
well as “the combined weight of occupantsand cargo” (A), which is called the vehicle capacity weight. This
placard also tells you
the size and recomme
nded inflation pressure
for the original equipment tires on your vehi- cle. For more information, refer to “Tires” on page 9-12. * : 150 lbs (68 kg) is the weight of one per- son as defined by U.S.A. and Canadian regulations.

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.

 The following table shows examples on how to
calculate tota
l cargo/load capacity of your vehi
cle with varying seating configura
tions and number and size
of occupants. This table is for illustra
tion purposes only and may not be
accurate for the seating and load capacity of your ve
hicle.
 For the following example the combined weight of oc
cupants and cargo should ne
ver exceed 865 lbs (392 kg).
 Under a maximum loaded vehicle c
ondition, gross axle weight ratings (GAWR’s) for
the front and rear axles must not be exceeded.

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 (A) located on the inside sill of the driver’s door as the guide for pass
engers and/or cargo
weight.

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’
s center of gravity
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.
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
