gerous. Even when buckled up, the
protections of your restraint system
(seat belts and air bags) is greatly
reduced by reclining your seatback.
OTM038008ROTM038007RNEVER ride with a reclined
seatback when the vehicle is
moving.
Riding with a reclined seatback
increases your chance of seri-
ous or fatal injuries in the event
of a collision or sudden stop.
Driver and passengers should
ALWAYS sit well back in their
seats, properly belted, and with
the seatbacks upright.

the proper length after the lap belt
portion is adjusted manually so that it
fits snugly around your hips. If you
lean forward in a slow, easy motion,
the belt will extend and move with
you.
If there is a sudden stop or impact,
the belt will lock into position. It will
also lock if you try to lean forward too
quickly.If you are not able to smoothly pull
enough of the seat belt out from
the retractor, firmly pull the seat
belt out and release it. After
release, you will be able to pull the
belt out smoothly.

Notes on connecting Apple devices
• Ensure that the iOS and firmware
of your device is up-to-date before
connecting it to your system.
Outdated devices may cause a
system error.
• If your device’s battery is low, the
device may not be recognised.
Check the battery level and, if nec-
essary, charge the battery before
connecting the device to your sys-

• Use an Apple-approved cable.
Using an unapproved cable may
cause a distorted noise or an error
during playback.
• Use a cable shorter than 1 metre in
length, such as the one originally
supplied with a new Apple device.
Longer cables may lead to the
audio system not recognising the
Apple device.
• Fully insert a USB connector into
the USB port. Failure to do so may
cause a communication error.• When your device is connected to
the USB port and the AUX port
simultaneously, it is recognised in
the AUX mode. The device stays in
the AUX mode even if the AUX
cable is not connected to the sys-
tem. To play music in iPod mode,
disconnect the AUX cable from the
device or change audio output of
the device to “Dock.”
• If you connect your device to the
system whilst playback is in
progress on the device, you may
hear a high pitch sound just after
the connection. Connect the device
after stopping or pausing playback.
• Connecting your device during a
download or synchronizing with
iTunes may cause an error. Connect
the device after the download or
synchronization is complete.
• If you connect an iPod nano
(except for the 6th generation) or
an iPod classic, the brand logo will
be displayed on the device screen.
For an iPhone and an iPod touch,
the logo will not be displayed.
Notes on playing Apple devices
• Depending on the model, your
device may not be recognised due
to unsupported communication
protocols.
• The order of the songs displayed
or played on the system may differ
from the order of the songs stored
in your device.
• Depending on the music player
application you are using, informa-
tion displayed on the system may
differ.
• In an iPhone, the audio streaming
function and iPod mode control
may conflict. If an error occurs, dis-
connect and reconnect the USB
cable.
• When using an iPhone or an iPod
touch, do not control the device
whilst it is connected to your sys-
tem. An error may occur.
• If you make or receive a call during
playback via an iPhone, the music
may remain paused after you end
the call. If you do not hear the music
after ending a call, check the device
to see if the music is paused.

Driving with a trailer
Towing a trailer requires a certain
amount of experience. Before setting
out for the open road, you must get
to know your trailer. Acquaint your-
self with the feel of handling and
braking with the added weight of the
trailer. And always keep in mind that
the vehicle you are driving is now
longer and not nearly as responsive
as your vehicle is by itself.
Before you start, check the trailer
towbar and platform, safety chains,
electrical connector(s), lights, tyres
and brakes.
During your trip, occasionally check
to be sure that the load is secure,
and that the lights and trailer brakes
are still working.
Distance
Stay at least twice as far behind the
vehicle ahead as you would when
driving your vehicle without a trailer.
This can help you avoid situations
that require heavy braking and sud-
den turns.
Passing
You will need more passing distance
up ahead when you’re towing a trail-
er. And, because of the increased
vehicle length, you’ll need to go
much farther beyond the passed
vehicle before you can return to your
lane.
Backing up
Hold the bottom of the steering
wheel with one hand. Then, to move
the trailer to the left, move your hand
to the left. To move the trailer to the
right, move your hand to the right.
Always back up slowly and, if possi-
ble, have someone guide you.
Making turns
When you’re turning with a trailer,
make wider turns than normal. Do this
so your trailer won’t strike soft shoul-
ders, kerbs, road signs, trees, or other
objects. Avoid jerky or sudden
manoeuvres. Signal well in advance.
Turn signals
When you tow a trailer, your vehicle
has to have a different turn signal
flasher and extra wiring. The green
arrows on your instrument panel will
flash whenever you signal a turn or
lane change. Properly connected,
the trailer lights will also flash to alert
other drivers you’re about to turn,
change lanes, or stop.
When towing a trailer, the green
arrows on your instrument panel will
flash for turns even if the bulbs on
the trailer are burned out. Thus, you
may think drivers behind you are
seeing your signals when, in fact,
they are not. It’s important to check
occasionally to be sure the trailer
bulbs are still working. You must also
check the lights every time you dis-
connect and then reconnect the
wires.
