PRECAUTIONS
•Verify correct tire pressures.
•Inspect wheels and tires for wear anddamage. Replace any damaged wheelsor tires.
•Do not operate your vehicle at highspeeds with more than two passengersor while carrying cargo.
•It is recommended to cross speedbumps or driveway inclines slowly andat a 45° angle to reduce the risk ofvehicle damage.
•Do not drive through car washes withthe vehicle heavily loaded withpassengers or luggage.
•Use only commercial car washeswithout mechanical tracks or handwash to avoid potential damage.
•Put your vehicle in stay in neutral modewhen entering an automatic car wash.See Selecting a Drive Mode (page260).
DRIVING IN SPECIAL
CONDITIONS
EMERGENCY MANEUVERS

DRIVING THROUGH MUD ANDWATER
Mud
Be cautious of sudden changes in vehiclespeed or direction when you are driving inmud. Even all-wheel drive and four-wheeldrive vehicles can lose traction in mud. Ifyour vehicle slides, steer in the direction ofthe slide until you regain control of yourvehicle. After driving through mud, cleanoff residue stuck to rotating driveshaftsand tires. Excess residue can cause animbalance that could damage drivecomponents.
Note:If your vehicle gets stuck in mud, itcould be rocked out by shifting betweenforward and reverse gears, stoppingbetween shifts in a steady pattern. Presslightly on the accelerator in each gear.
Water
If you must drive through water approachit cautiously. See Driving ThroughShallow Water (page 303).
DRIVING ON HILLY OR SLOPINGTERRAIN
Although natural obstacles could make itnecessary to travel diagonally up or downa hill or steep incline, you should try to drivestraight up or straight down.
Note:Avoid turning on steep slopes or hills.A danger lies in losing traction, slippingsideways and possible vehicle roll over.Whenever driving on a hill, determinebeforehand the route you can use. Do notdrive over the crest of a hill without seeingwhat conditions are on the other side. Donot drive in reverse over a hill without theaid of an observer.
Apply just enough power to the wheels toclimb the hill. Too much power causes thetires to slip, spin or lose traction, and youcould lose control of your vehicle. Whendescending a steep hill, do not descendthe hill in neutral. Avoid sudden hardbraking to keep the front wheels rolling andto maintain your vehicle's steering.
Note:Your vehicle has anti-lock brakes,apply the brakes steadily. Do not pump thebrakes.
DRIVING IN SAND
When driving over sand, try to keep all fourwheels on the most solid area of the trail.Shift to a lower gear and drive steadilythrough the terrain. Apply the acceleratorslowly and avoid excessive wheel slip. Donot drive your vehicle in deep sand for anextended period of time. This couldoverheat the system. A message appearsin the information display. See All-WheelDrive – Information Messages (page196).
Note:If your vehicle gets stuck in sand, itcould be rocked out by shifting betweenforward and reverse gears, stoppingbetween shifts in a steady pattern. Presslightly on the accelerator in each gear.

Note:If prediluted coolant is not available,use the approved concentrated coolantdiluting it to 50/50 with distilled water. SeeCooling System Capacity andSpecification (page 366). Using water thathas not been deionized could contribute todeposit formation, corrosion and pluggingof the small cooling system passageways.
Note:Coolants marketed for all makes andmodels might not meet our specificationsand could cause damage to the coolingsystem. Resulting component damagecould void the vehicle warranty.
If the coolant level is at or below theminimum mark, add prediluted coolantimmediately.
To top up the coolant level do thefollowing:
1.Unscrew the cap slowly. Any pressureescapes as you unscrew the cap.
2.Add prediluted coolant approved tothe correct specification. See CoolingSystem Capacity and Specification(page 366).
3.Add enough prediluted coolant toreach the correct level.
4.Replace the coolant reservoir cap. Turnthe cap clockwise until it contacts thehard stop.
5.Check the coolant level in the coolantreservoir the next few times you driveyour vehicle. If necessary, add enoughprediluted coolant to bring the coolantlevel to the correct level.
If you have to add more than 1.1 qt (1 L) ofcoolant per month, have your vehiclechecked as soon as possible. Operatingyour vehicle with a low level of coolant canresult in overheating and possible electricmotor damage.
In case of emergency, you can add a largeamount of water without coolant in orderto reach a vehicle service location. In thisinstance, have qualified personnel do thefollowing as soon as possible:
1.Drain the cooling system.
2.Chemically clean the coolant system.
3.Refill with coolant.
Water alone, without coolant, can causedamage from corrosion, overheating orfreezing.
Do not use the following as a coolantsubstitute:
•Alcohol.
•Methanol.
•Brine.
•Any coolant mixed with alcohol ormethanol antifreeze.
Alcohol and other liquids can causedamage from overheating or freezing.
Do not add extra inhibitors or additives tothe coolant. These can be harmful andcompromise the corrosion protection ofthe coolant.
Recycled Coolant
We do not recommend the use of recycledcoolant, as an approved recycling processis not yet available.
Dispose of used coolant in an appropriatemanner. Follow your community'sregulations and standards for recycling anddisposing of automotive fluids.
