However, you can add to the future perfor- mance and economy of your vehicle by observing the follow
ing 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 actions would have a detrimental effect onthe engine and lead to increased fuel andoil consumption; this 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 within the seating capacity. Refer to “Cargo load precautions” on page 6-10. Refrain from towing a trailer or other vehicle. Refer to “Trailer towing” on page 6-11.

This vehicle is equipped with an event datarecorder (EDR).The main purpose of an EDR is to record, in certain crash or near crash-like situations,
such as an airbag deployment or hitting a road obstacle, data that will assist in under- standing how a vehicle’s systems performed. The EDR is designed to record data related tovehicle dynamics and safety systems for a short period of time, typically 30 seconds or less. The EDR in this vehicle is designed to record such data as:  How various systems in your vehicle were operating;  Whether or not the driver and front pas- senger safety belts were buckled/fastened; How far (if at all) the driver was depress- ing the accelerator and/or brake pedal; and, How fast the vehicle was traveling.
These data can help provide a better under- standing of the circumstances in which crashes and injuries occur.
To read data recorded by an EDR, special equipment is required, and access to the vehi- cle or the EDR is needed. In addition to the vehicle manufacturer, other parties, such aslaw enforcement, that have the special equip- ment, can read the information if they have access to the vehicle or the EDR.
Event Data Recording
NOTE
 EDR data are recorded by your vehicle only if a non-trivial crash situation occurs; no data are recorded by the EDR under normal driv- ing conditions and no personal data (e.g., name, gender, age, and crash location) arerecorded. However, other parties, such as law enforcement, could combine the EDR data with the type of personally identifyingdata routinely acquired during a crash inves- tigation.

When parking on a hill, set the parking brake, and turn the front wheels toward the curb on adownhill, or away from the curb on an uphill. If necessary, apply chocks to the wheels. Be sure that the parking brake is firmly setwhen parked and that the selector lever is inthe “P” (PARK) position. When parking on a hill, it is important to set the parking brake before moving the selectorlever to the “P” (PARK) position. This pre- vents loading the parking brake against the transaxle. When this happens, it is difficult tomove the selector lever out of the “P” (PARK) position. Never leave the engi
ne running while you
take a short nap or rest. Also, never leave theengine 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. Always carry the key and lock all doors and the liftgate when leaving the vehicle unat- tended. Always try to park your vehicle in a well litarea.
More effort could be required to turn the steering wheel. Refer to “Electric power steering system (EPS)” on page 5-79.

It is very important to know how much weight your vehicle can carry. This weight is called the vehicle capacity weight andincludes the weight of all occupants, cargo (including the roof load), non-factory- installed options, and the tongue weight ofthe trailer, if any, being towed. The tire and loading information placard located on the driver’s door sill of your vehicle will showhow much weight it may properly carry. It is important to familiarize yourself with the following terms before loading your vehicle:
Parking Parking on a hill Parking with the engine run- ning
WA R N I N G Leaving the engine running risks injury or death from accidentally moving the selec- tor lever or the accumulation of toxic exhaust fumes in the passenger compart- ment.
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 hot exhaust, since a fire could occur.
When leaving the vehicle
Do not keep the steering wheel fully turned for a long time Loading information
WA R N I N G Never overload your vehicle. Overloading can damage your vehicle, adversely affect vehicle performance, including handlingand braking, cause tire failure, and result in an accident.

The tire and loading information placard is located on the inside sill of the driver’s door.
This placard shows the maximum number of occupants permitted to ride in your vehicle aswell as “the combined weight of occupants and cargo” (A), which is called the vehicle capacity weight. The weight of any non-fac-tory installed options, as well as the tongue weight of a trailer being towed and roof load is included in the definition of “cargo” whendetermining the vehicle capacity weight. Thisplacard also tells you the size and recom- mended inflation pressure for the original equipment tires on your vehicle. For moreinformation, 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 Canadianregulations.

1.Locate the statement “The com- bined weight of occupants andcargo should never exceed XXX kg or XXX lbs.” on your vehicle’s placard.2.Determine the combined weight of the driver and passengers that will be riding in your vehicle.3.Subtract the combined weight of the driver and passengers from XXX kg or XXX lbs.4.The resulting figure equals the available amount of cargo and luggage load capacity. For exam-ple, if the “XXX” amount equals 1400 lbs. and there will be five 150 lbs. passengers in your vehi-cle, the amount of available cargo and luggage load capacity is 650 lbs. (1400 - 750 (5 x 150) = 650 lbs.)
5.Determine the combined weightof luggage and cargo being loaded on the vehicle. That weight may not safely exceed the available cargo 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 determine how this reduces the availablecargo and luggage load capacity of your vehicle.
