1274-1. Before driving

Driving
*3: C =Available cargo and luggage load
In this condition, if 3 more passengers with
the combined weight of D lb. (kg) get on,
the available cargo and luggage load will
be reduced E lb. (kg) as follows:
C lb. (kg) - D*4 lb. (kg) = E*5 lb. (kg)
*4: D =Additional weight of people
*5: E =Available cargo and luggage load
As shown in the example above, if the
number of occupants increases, the
cargo and luggage load will be
reduced by an amount that equals the
increased weight due to the additional
occupants. In other words, if an
increase in the number of occupants
causes an excess of the total load
capacity (combined weight of occu-
pants plus cargo and luggage load),
you must reduce the cargo and lug-
gage on your vehicle.
WARNING
■Things that must not be carried in the
trunk
The following things may cause a fire if
loaded in the trunk:
●Receptacles containing gasoline
●Aerosol cans
■Storage precautions
Observe the following precautions.
Failure to do so may prevent the pedals
from being depressed properly, may
block the driver’s visi on, or may result in
items hitting the driver or passengers,
possibly causing an accident.
●Stow cargo and luggage in the trunk
whenever possible.
●To prevent cargo and luggage from
sliding forward during braking, do not
stack anything in the enlarged trunk.
Keep cargo and luggage low, as close
to the floor as possible.
●When you fold down the rear seats,
long items should not be placed
directly behind the front seats.
●Never allow anyone to ride in the
enlarged trunk. It is not designed for
passengers. They should ride in their
seats with thei r seat belts properly fas-
tened.
●Do not place cargo or luggage in or on
the following locations.
• At the feet of the driver
• On the front passenger or rear seats (when stacking items)
• On the package tray
• On the instrument panel
•On the dashboard
• In front of the Center Display
●Secure all items in the occupant com-
partment.
■Capacity and distribution
●Do not exceed the maximum axle
weight rating or the total vehicle
weight rating.
●Even if the total load of occupant’s
weight and the cargo load is less than
the total load capacity, do not apply the
load unevenly. Improper loading may
cause deterioration of steering or
braking control which may cause
death or serious injury.

1444-2. Driving procedures
*:If equipped
1Louder
2 Lower
When the dial is turned to the lowest
volume, driving sound will be turned off
and the indicator will go off.
■ASC is enabled when
The vehicle is being driven in normal mode
or sport mode. ( P.227)
■Situations where may disable the ASC
system
The ASC system may be disabled depend-
ing on the driving cond itions, such as when
the tires slip due to sudden acceleration.ASC (Active Sound Con-
trol)
*
The ASC system is an electronic
sound system that generates driv-
ing sound, conveying the kinetic sit-
uations of the vehi cle’s acceleration
and deceleration to the driver
through the speakers behind the
instrument panel. The vehicle’s
response to the driver’s accelera-
tion behavior and shift operations
are also conveyed in sound. When
sport mode is selected, the sound
conveyed to the driver will be
louder.
