Front trunk
Opening the Front Trunk
ONE1051213
• Open the hood
• Lift up the front trunk cover while
depressing the front trunk lever (1).
Closing the Front Trunk
Push down the front trunk cover to the
right position.
Information
Available front trunk weight • 2WD : 55 lbs. (25 kg)
• AWD : 25 lbs. (10 kg)
Available front trunk weight depends on the specifications.
WARNING
• NEVER make an attempt to get inside
the front trunk. It will cause a fatal
injury.
• Before closing the hood, ensure
all obstructions are removed from
around the hood opening. The
hood will rise up or move down
automatically if the height is not
firmly adjusted. Be aware of the
damage caused by the unintended
hood movements.
• Never store cigarette lighters,
propane cylinders, or other
flammable/explosive materials in
the vehicle. These items may catch
fire and/or explode if the vehicle
is exposed to hot temperatures for
extended periods.
CAUTION
• Do not exceed the luggage volume
capacity of the front trunk. The
overweighted front trunk can be
severely damaged.
• Do not store the fragile objects in the
front trunk.
• ALWAYS keep the front trunk cover
closed securely while driving. Items
inside your vehicle are moving as fast
as the vehicle. If you have to stop or
turn quickly, or if there is a crash, the
items can be damaged.
• Do not spray water in the front
trunk. Vehicle driving system may
get damaged since the front trunk
is located at the center of motor
compartment.
• Be careful when you store any liquid
in the front trunk. If liquid leak
outside the front trunk, it will cause a
damage to the electric devices in the
motor compartment.
• Do not press the front trunk cover
or place the objects on the front
trunk cover. It may be deformed or damaged.
• When closing the front trunk cover,
be careful not to touch objects
inside the trunk. Loaded objects or
the front trunk may be deformed or
damaged and the front trunk cover
may be opened during driving due to
poor closing, resulting in joints and damage.
NOTICE
To avoid possible theft, do not leave
valuables in the storage compartments.

WARNING
Do not drive across the contour of steep
hills. A slight change in the wheel angle
can destabilize the vehicle, or a stable
vehicle may lose stability if the vehicle
stops its forward motion. Your vehicle
may roll over and lead to a serious injury
or death.
Driving through water
• Try to avoid driving in deep standing
water.
• If you need to drive in water, stop
your vehicle, set the vehicle in Multi
Terrain mode and drive under 5 mph
(8 km/h).
• Do not change gear while driving in
water.
CAUTION
Always drive slowly in water. If you drive
too fast, water may get into the motor
compartment, causing your vehicle to
suddenly stop.
Additional driving conditions
• Become familiar with the off-road
conditions before driving.
• Always pay attention when driving off-
road and avoid dangerous areas.
• Drive slowly when driving in heavy wind.
• Reduce vehicle speed when
cornering. The center of gravity
of AWD vehicles is higher than
conventional 2WD vehicles, making
them more likely to roll over when you
rapidly turn corners.
• Always hold the steering wheel firmly
when you are driving off-road.
WARNING
Do not grab the inside of the steering
wheel when you are driving off-road.
You may hurt your arm by a sudden
steering maneuver or from steering
wheel rebound due to an impact with
objects on the ground. You could lose
control of the steering wheel which may
lead to serious injury or death.
Emergency Precautions
Tires
When replacing tires, be sure to equip
all four tires with the same size, type,
tread patterns, brand and load-carrying
capacity.
WARNING
Do not use tire and wheel with different
size and type from the one originally
installed on your vehicle. It can affect
the safety and performance of your
vehicle, which could lead to steering
failure or rollover causing serious injury.

Vehicle capacity weight
5 persons (Standard type) :
947 lbs. (430 kg)
5 persons (Extended type) :
859 lbs. (390 kg)
Vehicle capacity weight is the
maximum combined weight of
occupants and cargo. If your
vehicle is equipped with a trailer,
the combined weight includes the
tongue load.
Seating capacity
Total : 5 persons (Front seat : 2
persons, Rear seat : 3 persons)
Seating capacity is the maximum
number of occupants including
a driver, your vehicle may carry.
However, the seating capacity may
be reduced based upon the weight
of all of the occupants, and the
weight of the cargo being carried or
towed. Do not overload the vehicle
as there is a limit to the total weight,
or load limit including occupants and
cargo, the vehicle can carry.
Towing capacity
With brake system :
2,000 lbs (907 kg)
Without brake system :
1,653 lbs (750 kg)
Towing capacity is the maximum
trailer weight including its cargo
weight, your vehicle can tow.
Cargo capacity
The cargo capacity of your vehicle
will increase or decrease depending
on the weight and the number of
occupants and the tongue load,
if your vehicle is equipped with a
trailer.

Steps for determining correct load limit
1. Locate the statement "The
combined weight of occupants
and cargo should never exceed
XXX kg or XXX lbs." on your
vehicle's placard.
2. Determine the combined weight of the driver and passengers that
will be riding in your vehicle.
3. Subtract the combined weight of the driver and passengers from
XXX kg or XXX lbs.
4. The resulting figure equals
the available amount of cargo
and luggage load capacity. For
example, if the "XXX" amount
equals 1400 lbs. and there will
be five 150 lb passengers in your
vehicle, the amount of available
cargo and luggage load capacity
is 650 lbs. (1400 - 750 (5 x 150) =
650 lbs.)
5. Determine the combined weight of luggage and cargo being
loaded on the vehicle. That
weight may not safely exceed the
available cargo 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 determine
how this reduces the available
cargo and luggage load capacity
of your vehicle.
WARNING
Do not overload the vehicle as
there is a limit to the total weight,
or load limit, including occupants
and cargo, the vehicle can carry.
Overloading can shorten the life
of the vehicle. If the GVWR or the
GAWR is exceeded, parts on the
vehicle can break, and it can change
the handling of your vehicle. These
could cause you to lose control and
result in an accident.

Certification label
OBH059070
The certification label is located on
the driver's door sill at the center
pillar and shows the maximum
allowable weight of the fully loaded
vehicle. This is called the GVWR
(Gross Vehicle Weight Rating). The
GVWR includes the weight of the
vehicle, all occupants, fuel and
cargo.
This label also tells you the maximum
weight that can be supported by the
front and rear axles, called Gross
Axle Weight Rating (GAWR).
The total weight of the vehicle,
including all occupants, accessories,
cargo, and trailer tongue load must
not exceed the Gross Vehicle Weight
Rating (GVWR) or the Gross Axle
Weight Rating (GAWR). To find out
the actual loads on your front and
rear axles, you need to go to a weigh
station and weigh your vehicle. Be
sure to spread out your load equally
on both sides of the centerline.
WARNING
Overloading • Never exceed the GVWR for your
vehicle, the GAWR for either the
front or rear axle and vehicle
capacity weight. Exceeding these
ratings can affect your vehicle's
handling and braking ability, and
cause an accident.
• Do not overload your vehicle.
Overloading your vehicle can
cause heat buildup in your
vehicle's tires and possible
tire failure, increased stopping
distances and poor vehicle
handling-all of which may result
in a crash.
NOTICE
Overloading your vehicle may cause
damage. Repairs would not be
covered by your warranty. Do not
overload your vehicle.

Battery Recharging
By battery charger
Your vehicle has a maintenance-free,
calcium-based battery. • If the battery becomes discharged
over a short time (because, for
example, the headlamps or interior
lights were left on while the vehicle
was not in use), recharge it by slow
charging (trickle) for 10 hours.
• If the battery gradually discharges
because of high electrical load while
the vehicle is being used, recharge it
at 20-30A for two hours.
