All-wheel drive vehicles: 15.8 gal (60 L)Front-wheel drive vehi
cles: 16.6 gal (63 L)
1. Before filling with fuel, stop the engine.2. The fuel tank filler is located on the reardriver side of your vehicle.The fuel tank filler door can be openedfrom inside the vehicle with the fuel tankfiller door release lever located at the leftside of the driver’s seat.
3. Open the fuel tank filler pipe by slowlyturning the fuel tank filler cap counter-clockwise.
Before removing the fuel tank filler cap,be sure to get rid of your body’s staticelectricity by touching a metal part of thecar or fuel pump. Any
static electricity on
your body could create a spark thatignites fuel vapor.Perform the whole
refueling process
(opening the fuel tank filler door, remov-ing the fuel cap, etc.) by yourself; do notlet any other
person near the fuel tank
filler. If you allowed
a person to help you
and that person was ca
rrying static elec-
tricity, fuel vapor could be ignited.Do not move away from
the fuel tank filler
until refueling is fi
nished. If you moved
away and did somethin
g else (for example,
sitting on a seat) part-way through therefueling process, you could pick up afresh charge of st
atic electricity.
Be careful not to inhale fuel vapor. Fuelcontains toxic substances.Keep the doors and wi
ndows closed while
refueling the vehicle. If they were open,fuel vapor could ge
t into the cabin.

any pressure or vac-
uum that might have built up in the fueltank. If the cap is venting vapor or if youhear a hissing sound, wait until the soundstops before removing the cap. Otherwise,fuel may spray out, in
juring you or others.

Advanced automobile
manufacturing tech-
niques permit you to operate your new vehi-cle without requiring a long break-in periodof low-speed driving.However, you can add to the future perfor-mance and economy of your vehicle byobserving the following precautions duringthe first 300 miles (500 km).Drive your vehicle at m
oderate speeds during
the break-in period.Avoid revving the engine.Avoid rough driving such as sudden starts,sudden accelerati
on, prolonged high-
speed driving and sudden braking. Theseactions would have a detrimental effect onthe engine and lead to increased fuel andoil consumption; th
is could ultimately
result in the malfunction of engine com-ponents. Be particularly careful to avoidfull acceleration while in low shift posi-tion (low gears).Do not overload the vehicle. Stay withinthe seating capacity. (Refer to “Cargo loadprecautions” on page 6-10.)Refrain from towing a trailer or othervehicle (Refer to “T
railer towing” on page
6-11).

Your vehicle is equipped with power brakesfor more braking force with less brake pedaleffort.Your brakes are designed to operate at fullcapacity, even if the power assist is not beingused.If the power assist is not being used, the effortneeded 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 twobrake hydraulic systems stops working prop-erly, the rest of the brake system will stillwork, but the vehicle will not slow down asquickly.You will know this has happened if you findyou need to press the brake down farther, orharder when slowing down or stopping, or ifthe brake warning light and the warning dis-play in the multi-information display comeon.
To w i n g
CAUTIONDo not tow 4-wheel drive vehicles with thefront or rear wheels on the ground (Type Aor 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 towedwith the front or the rear wheels on theground.
Jacking up a 4-wheel drive vehicle
WA R N I N GDo not crank the engine while jacking upthe vehicle.The tire on the ground may turn and thevehicle may roll off the jack.
Service brake Brake pedal
WA R N I N GDo not leave any objects near the brakepedal or let a floor mat slide under it;doing so could prevent the full pedalstroke that would be necessary in anemergency. Make sure that the pedal canbe operated freely at all times. Make surethe floor mat is securely held in place.
CAUTIONIt is important not to drive the vehicle withyour 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.

Anti-lock braking system
Features and controls 5-97

N00517900240
The anti-lock braking system helps preventthe wheels from locking up when braking.This helps maintain vehicle drivability andsteering wheel handling.When using the anti-lock brakes (suddenbraking), steering is slightly differentfrom normal driving conditions. Use thesteering wheel carefully.Always keep a safe distance from thevehicle in front of you. Even if your vehi-cle is equipped with
the anti-lock braking
system, leave a greater braking distancewhen:• Driving on gravel or snow-coveredroads.• Driving on uneven road surfaces.
Operation of anti-lock braking system isnot restricted situations where brakes areapplied suddenly. This system may alsoprevent the wheels from locking whenyou drive over manholes, steel roadworkplates, road markings
, or any uneven road
surface.When the anti-lock braking system is inuse, you may feel the brake pedal vibrat-ing and hear a unique sound. It may alsofeel as if the pedal
resists being pressed.
In this situation, si
mply hold the brake
pedal down firmly. Do not pump thebrake, which will result in reducedbraking performance.
CAUTIONThe brake assist system is not a devicedesigned to exercise
braking force greater
than its capacity. Make sure to always keep asufficient distance be
tween your vehicle and
a vehicle in front of
you without relying too
much on the brake assist system.NOTE
Once the brake assist system is operational,it maintains great braking force even if thebrake pedal is lightly released.To stop its operation, completely removeyour foot from the brake pedal.The brake assist system may become opera-tional when the brake pedal is fullydepressed even if it
has not been depressed
suddenly.When the brake assist system is in use whiledriving, you may feel as if the depressedbrake pedal is soft, the pedal moves in smallmotions in conjunction with the operationnoise, or the vehicle body and the steeringwheel vibrate. This occurs when the brakeassist system is ope
rating normally and does
not indicate faulty
operation. Continue to
depress the brake pedal.You may hear an operation noise when thebrake pedal is suddenl
y or fully depressed
while stationary. This does not indicate amalfunction and the brake assist system isoperating normally.
When the anti-lock brake system warninglight or only active st
ability control warning
light illuminate, the brake assist system innot functioning.
Anti-lock braking system Driving hints
NOTE
CAUTIONThe anti-lock braking system cannot preventaccidents. It is your
responsibility to take
safety precautions a
nd to drive carefully.
To prevent failure of the anti-lock brakingsystem, be sure all 4 wheels and tires are thesame size and the same type.NOTE
A whining sound is emitted from the enginecompartment when driving immediatelyafter starting the engine. These are the nor-mal sounds the anti-lock braking systemmakes when performing a self-check. It doesnot indicate
a malfunction.

1.Locate the statement “The com-bined weight of occupants andcargo should never exceed XXXkg 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 equals1400 lbs. and there will be five150 lbs. passengers in your vehi-cle, the amount of available cargoand luggage load
capacity is 650
lbs. (1400 - 750 (5 x 150) = 650lbs.)
5.Determine the combined weightof luggage and cargo being loadedon the vehicle. That weight maynot safely exceed the availablecargo and luggage load capacitycalculated in Step 4.6.If your vehicle will be towing atrailer, load from your trailer willbe transferred to your vehicle.Consult this manual to determinehow this reduces the availablecargo and luggage load capacityof your vehicle.
