NOTICE
•	 It is permissible to add 3 psi to the standard tire pressure specification if colder 
temperatures are expected soon.
Tires typically lose 1psi (7kPa) for every 12°F temperature drop. If extreme 
temperature variations are expected, recheck your tire pressure as necessary to 
keep them properly inflated.
•	 Tire inflation pressures will vary with changes in elevation. If driving in areas of 
higher or lower elevation, be sure to check and adjust for proper tire inflation.
 CAUTION
•	When replacing tires, use the same size originally supplied with the vehicle.
Using tires of a different size can damage the related parts or not work properly.
•	 When replacing tires, ALWAYS use the same size, type, construction and tread 
pattern supplied with the vehicle for all tires.

VEHICLE IDENTIFICATION 
nUmbER (VIn)
Frame number
OTMA088011
The vehicle identification number (VIN) 
is the number used in registering your 
vehicle and in all legal matters pertaining 
to its ownership, etc.
The number is punched on the floor 
under the passenger seat. To check the 
number, open the cover.
VIN label (if equipped)
OTM010023L
The VIN is also on a plate attached to 
the top of the left side dashboard. The 
number on the plate can easily be seen 
through the windshield from outside.
VEHICLE CERTIFICATION 
LABEL
OTM010022
The vehicle certification label attached 
on the driver’s (or front passenger’s) 
side center pillar gives the vehicle 
identification number (VIN).
TIRE SPECIFICATION AND 
PRESSURE LABEL
OTM010024L
The tires supplied on your new 
vehicle are chosen to provide the best 
performance for normal driving.
The tire label located on the driver’s 
side center pillar gives the tire pressures 
recommended for your vehicle.   

Seats & Safety System
3-2
You will find many safety precautions 
and recommendations throughout this 
section, and throughout this manual. 
The safety precautions in this section are 
among the most important.
Always wear your seat belt
A seat belt is your best protection in all 
types of accidents. Air bags are designed 
to supplement seat belts, not replace 
them. So even though your vehicle is 
equipped with air bags, ALWAYS make 
sure you and your passengers wear your 
seat belts, and wear them properly.
Restrain all children
All children under age 13 should ride 
in your vehicle properly restrained in a 
rear seat, not the front seat. Infants and 
small children should be restrained in 
an appropriate Child Restraint System. 
Larger children should use a booster 
seat with the lap/shoulder belt until they 
can use the seat belt properly without a 
booster seat.
Air bag hazards
While air bags can save lives, they can 
also cause serious or fatal injuries to 
occupants who sit too close to them, or 
who are not properly restrained. Infants, 
young children, and short adults are at 
the greatest risk of being injured by an 
inflating air bag. Follow all instructions 
and warnings in this manual.
Driver distraction
Driver distraction presents a serious and 
potentially deadly danger, especially for 
inexperienced drivers. Safety should be 
the first concern when behind the wheel 
and drivers need to be aware of the wide 
array of potential distractions, such as 
drowsiness, reaching for objects, eating, 
personal grooming, other passengers, 
and using mobile phones.Drivers can become distracted when 
they take their eyes and attention off 
the road or their hands off the wheel to 
focus on activities other than driving. 
To reduce your risk of distraction and an 
accident:
•	
ALWAYS set up your mobile devices 
(i.e., MP3 players, phones, navigation 
units, etc.) when your vehicle is 
parked or safely stopped.
•	 ONLY use your mobile device when 
allowed by laws and conditions permit 
safe use. NEVER text or email while 
driving. Most countries have laws 
prohibiting drivers from texting. Some 
countries and cities also prohibit 
drivers from using handheld phones.
•	 NEVER let the use of a mobile device 
distract you from driving. You have a 
responsibility to your passengers and 
others on the road to always drive 
safely, with your hands on the wheel 
as well as your eyes and attention on 
the road.
Control your speed
Excessive speed is a major factor in crash 
injuries and deaths. Generally, the higher 
the speed, the greater the risk, but 
serious injuries can also occur at lower 
speeds. Never drive faster than is safe 
for current conditions, regardless of the 
maximum speed posted.
Keep your vehicle in safe 
condition
Having a tire blowout or a mechanical 
failure can be extremely hazardous. To 
reduce the possibility of such problems, 
check your tire pressures and condition 
frequently, and perform all regularly 
scheduled maintenance.
