Driving on Uneven Road
▼Driving on Uneven Road
Your vehicle's suspension and
underbody can be damaged if driven
on rough/uneven roads or over speed
bumps at excessive speeds. Use care
and reduce speed when traveling on
rough/uneven roads or over speed
bumps.
Use care not to damage the vehicle's
underbody, bumpers or
muffler(s)
when driving under the following
conditions:
Ascending or descending a slope
with a sharp transition angle
Ascending or descending a driveway
or trailer ramp with a sharp transition
angle
This vehicle is equipped with low
profile tires allowing class-leading
performance and handling. As a result,
the sidewall of the tires are very thin
and the tires and wheels can be
damaged if driven through potholes or
on rough/uneven roads at excessive
speeds. Use care and reduce speed
when traveling on rough/uneven roads
or through potholes.

CAUTION
After driving at freeway speeds or up
a long hill, idle the engine at least 30
seconds before stopping it.
Otherwise, the turbocharger could
be damaged.
Racing or over-revving the engine,
particularly after it's just been
started, can damage the
turbocharger.
To protect the engine from damage,
the engine is designed so that it
cannot be raced just after starting it
in extremely cold weather.
The turbocharger greatly enhances
engine power. Its advanced design
provides improved operation and
requires minimum maintenance.
To get the most from it, observe the
following.
1. Change engine oil and filter according to Scheduled
Maintenance.
Refer to Scheduled Maintenance
(U.S.A. and Puerto Rico) on page
6-4.
Refer to Scheduled Maintenance
(Canada) on page 6-6.
Refer to Scheduled Maintenance
(Mexico) on page 6-9.
2. Use only recommended engine oil (page 6-17). Extra additives are
NOT recommended.
