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 during the 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. These actions would have a detrimental effect onthe engine and lead to increased fuel and oil consumption; th
is could ultimately
result in the malfunction of engine com-ponents. Be particularly careful to avoid full 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 “T
railer towing” on page
6-11).

N00577700073
When the FCM judges that a collision with the vehicle or the pedest
rian straight-ahead is
imminent, the FCM will automatically applymoderate braking to warn the driver to apply the brakes immediately. If the FCM judges that
the collision is highly
unavoidable, it will automatically apply emergency braking to reduce the severity of the collision and, if possible, to avoid the col- lision. When the FCM applies emergency braking, abuzzer sounds and a wa
rning message is dis-
played in the information screen of the multi- information display. The FCM braking function operates when the following vehicle speed:  Against a vehicle:
Approximately 3 mph
(5 km/h) to 50 mph (80 km/h) Against a pedestrian: Approximately 3 mph (5 km/h) to 40 mph (65 km/h)
FCM braking function

WA R N I N G If the ASC is turned off, the FCM braking function will not operate. Refer to “Activestability control” on page 5-99. If the brake pedal is not depressed within 2 seconds after your vehicle has beenstopped by the FCM,
a warning buzzer
will sound and the brakes activated by the FCM will automatically be released.Apply the brakes as necessary to keep your vehicle stationary. The FCM will not activate and will not provide either warnin
g or braking in cer-
tain situations. Some of these include:• When the selector le
ver is in the “P”
(PARK) or “R” (REVERSE) position.• When an object other
than a vehicle or a
pedestrian is in front.• When the FCM has detected a problemin the system.• When a vehicle or a pedestrian suddenlycuts in front of your vehicle.
 The FCM may or may not detect a motor- cycle, bicycle or wall depending on the sit-uation. The FCM is not designed to detect these objects. The forward collision warning function and/or the FCM brakin
g function may not
activate in certain situations. Some ofthese include:• When a vehicle sudden
ly appears just in
front of your vehicle.• When a vehicle cuts
into your path at a
close distance.
• When a vehicle ahead is not completelyin your path.• When your vehicle ch
anged lanes, and
your vehicle approac
hed immediately
behind the vehicle ahead.• When a vehicle ahead
is towing a trailer.
• When a vehicle ahea
d is a truck loaded
with freight that protrudes rearward from the cargo bed.• When the height of a vehicle ahead isextremely low or its road clearance isextremely high.• When a vehicle ahead is extremely dirty.• When a vehicle ahea
d is covered with
snow.• When a vehicle ahea
d has a large glass
surface.• When a vehicle ahead does not havereflectors (light refl
ector) or the position
of the reflector is low.• When a vehicle ahead is a car carrier ora similar shaped vehicle.• When accelerating and deceleratingquickly.• When driving on a s
lippery road covered

installed options, and
the tongue weight of
the trailer, if any, being towed. The tire andloading information placard located on the driver’s door sill of your vehicle will show how much weight it may properly carry. It is important to famil
iarize yourself with the
following terms before loading your vehicle:  Vehicle maximum load on the tire: load on an individual tire that is determined by distributing to each axle its share of the maximum loaded vehicle weight anddividing 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.
 Curb weight: the weight of a motor vehi- cle with standard equipment including themaximum capacity of
fuel, oil, and cool-
ant.  Accessory weight: the combined weight (in excess of those st
andard items which
may be replaced) of automatic transaxle, power steering, power brakes, power win-dows, 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 installed regular produc- tion options weighing over 5 lbs (2.3 kg)in excess of those standard items which they replace, not prev
iously considered in
curb weight or accessory 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
(3 in the case of your vehicle)  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
ride in your vehicle as
well 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 tongueweight of a trailer being towed and roof load is included in the defi
nition of “cargo” when
determining the vehicle
capacity weight. This
WA R N I N GNever overload your ve
hicle. Overloading
can damage your vehicl
e, adversely affect
vehicle performance, including handling and braking, cause tire failure, and resultin an accident.
* :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 there will be five150 lbs. passengers in your vehi- cle, the amount of available cargo and luggage load
capacity is 650
lbs. (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.

Towing a trailer will adversely affect yourvehicle’s handling, performance, braking, durability and driving economy (fuel con-sumption, etc.). If you do tow a trailer
with this vehicle, be
sure to use proper e
quipment and cautious
steering and braking for safe driving.
 Before driving and after traveling a short dis- tance, always check the load to make sure itis securely fastened to the roof carrier.Stop the vehicle periodi
cally and check that
the load remains secure. If the load is not secure, it could fall from the vehicle anddamage your vehicle,
another vehicle or cre-
ate a road hazard.NOTE
 To prevent wind noise or reduction in gas mileage, remove the roof carrier when not in use.  Before using an automatic car wash, check with the attendant to determine if the roofcarrier should be removed.

Never exceed the vehicle capacity weight, maximum trailer weight (A), maximum tongue weight (B) and Gross Axle Weight Rating (GAWR). The vehicle capacity weight is printed on the tire and loading inform
ation placard as “com-
bined weight of oc
cupants and cargo”.
The weight includes the weight of all occu- pants and the total weight it can carry.For more information, refer to “Tire and load- ing information plac
ard” on page 6-7.
Recommendations for to
wing up to this limit
are as follows.
The tongue weight of a
ny trailer is important
because it affects the ve
hicle capacity weight.
The vehicle capacity weight includes any cargo you may carry, a
nd the people who will
be riding in the vehi
cle. If you will tow a
trailer, you must include the tongue weight of the trailer in your calculation of the vehiclecapacity weight. For more information regarding vehicle capa
city weight, refer to
“Tire and loading information placard” on page 6-7. Do not exceed the maximum tongue weightfor your vehicle. After you’ve loaded your trailer, weigh the trailer and then the to
ngue, separately, to see
if the weights are proper.Keep the trailer tongue load at 10% of the loaded trailer weight fo
r dead weight hitches.
