The main purpose
of an EDR is to record, in certain crash or near crash-like situations, such as an
airbag deployment or hitting a road obstacle, data that will assist in
understanding how a vehicle’s systems performed.

These data can help provide a better understanding of the circumstances in
which crashes and injuries occur. NOTE: EDR data are recorded by your vehicle
only if a non-trivial crash situation occurs; no data are recorded by the EDR
under normal driving conditions and no personal data (e.g., name, gender, age,
and crash location) are recorded. However, other parties, such as law
enforcement, could combine the EDR data with the type of personally
identifying data routinely acquired during a crash investigation.
To read data recorded by an EDR, special equipment is required, and access to
the vehicle or the EDR is needed. In addition to the vehicle manufacturer, other
parties such as law enforcement that have the special equipment can read the
information if they have access to the vehicle or the EDR.
The data belong to the vehicle owner and may not be accessed by anyone else
except as legally required or with the permission of the vehicle owner.
This vehicle is equipped with service-related devices that record information
about powertrain performance. The data can be used to verify emissions law
requirements and/or help technicians diagnose and solve service problems. It
may also be combined with data from other sources for research purposes, but
it remains confidential. Some diagnostic and maintenance information is
uploaded to Honda upon vehicle start up.

Your safety--and the safety of others--is very important and operating this
vehicle safely is an important responsibility. While we strive to help you make
informed decisions about safety, it is not practical or possible to warn you about
all the hazards associated with operating or maintaining your vehicle.
Therefore, you must use your own good judgment.
This guide explains many of your vehicle's safety features and how to use them.
Please read this information carefully. Following the instructions below will also
help to keep you and your passengers safe.
• Always wear your seat belt.
• Secure all children in the proper restraint system.
• Be aware of airbag hazards.
• Don't drink and drive.
• Pay appropriate attention to the task of driving safely.
• Control your speed.
• Keep your vehicle in safe condition.
Engaging in cell phone conversation or other activities that keep you from
paying close attention to the road, other vehicles, and pedestrians could
lead to a crash. Remember, situations can change quickly, and only you can
decide when it is safe to divert some attention away from driving.
Your vehicle has higher ground clearance than a passenger vehicle
designed for use only on pavement. Higher ground clearance has many
advantages for off-highway driving. It allows you to travel over bumps,
obstacles, and rough terrain. It also provides good visibility so you can
anticipate problems earlier. These advantages come at some cost. Because
your vehicle is taller and rides higher off the ground, it has a higher center
gravity making it more susceptible to tipping or roll over if you make abrupt
turns. Utility vehicles have a significantly higher rollover rate than other
types of vehicles. In a rollover crash, an unbelted person is significantly
more likely to die than a person wearing a seat belt. As a reminder, make
sure you and your passengers always wear seat belts.

When you see the following messages throughout this guide, pay close
attention.
You WILL be KILLED or SERIOUSLY HURT if you don’t
follow instructions.
You CAN be KILLED or SERIOUSLY HURT if you don’t
follow instructions.
You CAN be HURT if you don’t follow instructions.
This information is intended to help you avoid damage to
your vehicle, other property, or the environment.
The engine exhaust from this vehicle contains carbon monoxide, a
colorless, odorless, and highly toxic gas. As long as you properly maintain
your vehicle and follow the instructions set forth below, you will not
accumulate dangerous levels of carbon monoxide gas in the vehicle interior.
Have the exhaust system inspected for leaks whenever:
• The exhaust system is making an unusual noise.
• The exhaust system may have been damaged.
• The vehicle is raised for an oil change.
When you operate a vehicle with the tailgate open, airflow can pull exhaust
gas into the interior and create a hazardous condition. If you must drive with
the tailgate open, open all the windows and set the climate control system
as shown below:
1. Select the fresh air mode.
2. Select the mode.
3. Set the fan speed to high.
4. Set the temperature control to a comfortable setting.
Adjust the climate control system in the same manner if you sit in your
parked vehicle with the engine running.
Carbon monoxide gas is toxic. Breathing it can cause unconsciousness
and even kill you. Avoid any enclosed areas or activities that expose you to
carbon monoxide.
An enclosed area such as a garage can quickly fill up with carbon monoxide
gas. Do not run the engine with the garage door closed. Even when the
4 |
garage door is open, drive out of the garage immediately after starting the
engine.
A seat belt is your best protection in all types of collisions. Airbags are designed
to supplement seat belts, not replace them. So even though your vehicle is
equipped with airbags, make sure you and your passengers always wear your
seat belts and wear them properly.
All five seating positions are equipped with lap/shoulder seat belts with
emergency locking retractors. In normal driving, the retractor lets you move
freely while keeping some tension on the belt. During a collision or sudden
stop, the retractor locks to restrain your body. The front passenger's
andrear seat belts also have a lockable retractor for use with child seats.
Follow these guidelines for proper use:
• All occupants should sit upright, well back in the seat, and remain in the
position for the duration of the trip. Slouching and leaning reduces the
effectiveness of the belt and can increase the chance of serious injury in
a crash.
• Never place the shoulder part of a lap/shoulder seat belt under your arm
or behind your back. This could cause very serious injuries in a crash.
• Two people should never use the same seat belt. If they do, they could be
very seriously injured in a crash.
• Do not put any accessories on the seat belts. Devices intended to
improve comfort or reposition the shoulder part of a seat belt can reduce
the protective capability and increase the chance of serious injury in a
crash.
• No one should sit in a seat with an inoperative seat belt or one that does
not appear to be working correctly. Using a seat belt that is not working
properly may not protect the occupant in a crash. Have a dealer check
the belt as soon as possible.
Not wearing a seat belt properly increases the chance of a serious injury
or death in a crash, even though your vehicle has airbags.
Be sure you and your passengers always wear seat belts and wear them
properly.

Be sure you and your passengers always wear seat belts and wear them
properly.

Regularly check the condition of your seat belts as follows:
• Pull each belt out fully and look for frays, cuts, burns, and wear.
• Check that the latch plates and buckles work smoothly and the belts
retract easily. If a belt does not retract easily, cleaning the belt may
correct the problem. Only use mild soap and warm water. Do not use
bleach or cleaning solvents. Make sure the belt is completely dry before
allowing it to retract.
Any belt that is not in good condition or working properly will not provide
proper protection and should be replaced as soon as possible.
A belt that has been worn during a crash may not provide the same level of
protection in a subsequent crash. Have your seat belts inspected by a
dealer after any collision.
Not checking or maintaining seat belts can result in serious injury or death
if the seat belts do not work properly when needed.
Check your seat belts regularly and have any problem corrected as soon
as possible.
Adjust your seat to the proper position and then follow the steps below:
1. Pull the seat belt out slowly.
2. Insert the latch plate into the
buckle, then tug on the belt to make
sure the buckle is secure. Make
sure that the belt is not twisted or
caught on anything.
6 |
3. Position the lap part of the belt as
low as possible across your hips,
then pull up on the shoulder part of
the belt so the lap part fits snugly.
This lets your strong pelvic bones
take the force of a crash and
reduces the chance of internal
inquiries.
4. If necessary, pull up on the belt
again to remove any slack, then make sure that the belt rests across the
center of your chest and over your shoulder. This spreads the forces of a
crash over the strongest bones in your upper body.
To release the belt, push the red PRESS button then guide the belt by hand
until it has retracted completely.
Improperly positioning the seat belt can cause serious injury or death in a
crash.
Make sure all seat belts are properly positioned before driving.
The front seats have adjustable shoulder anchors to accommodate taller
and shorter occupants.
1. Move the anchor up and down
while pulling the release outward.
2. Position the anchor so that the belt
rests across the center of your
chest and over your shoulder.
Your vehicle is equipped with several types of airbags: front airbags, side
airbags, and side curtain airbags.
The front SRS airbags inflate in a moderate-to-severe frontal collision to
help protect the head and chest of the driver and/or front passenger. They
are housed in the center of the steering wheel for the driver and in the
dashboard for the front passenger. Both airbags are marked

Regularly check the condition of your seat belts as follows:
• Pull each belt out fully and look for frays, cuts, burns, and wear.
• Check that the latch plates and buckles work smoothly and the belts
retract easily. If a belt does not retract easily, cleaning the belt may
correct the problem. Only use mild soap and warm water. Do not use
bleach or cleaning solvents. Make sure the belt is completely dry before
allowing it to retract.
Any belt that is not in good condition or working properly will not provide
proper protection and should be replaced as soon as possible.
A belt that has been worn during a crash may not provide the same level of
protection in a subsequent crash. Have your seat belts inspected by a
dealer after any collision.
Not checking or maintaining seat belts can result in serious injury or death
if the seat belts do not work properly when needed.
Check your seat belts regularly and have any problem corrected as soon
as possible.
Adjust your seat to the proper position and then follow the steps below:
1. Pull the seat belt out slowly.
2. Insert the latch plate into the
buckle, then tug on the belt to make
sure the buckle is secure. Make
sure that the belt is not twisted or
caught on anything.

3. Position the lap part of the belt as
low as possible across your hips,
then pull up on the shoulder part of
the belt so the lap part fits snugly.
This lets your strong pelvic bones
take the force of a crash and
reduces the chance of internal
inquiries.
4. If necessary, pull up on the belt
again to remove any slack, then make sure that the belt rests across the
center of your chest and over your shoulder. This spreads the forces of a
crash over the strongest bones in your upper body.
To release the belt, push the red PRESS button then guide the belt by hand
until it has retracted completely.
Improperly positioning the seat belt can cause serious injury or death in a
crash.
Make sure all seat belts are properly positioned before driving.
The front seats have adjustable shoulder anchors to accommodate taller
and shorter occupants.
1. Move the anchor up and down
while pulling the release outward.
2. Position the anchor so that the belt
rests across the center of your
chest and over your shoulder.
Your vehicle is equipped with several types of airbags: front airbags, side
airbags, and side curtain airbags.
The front SRS airbags inflate in a moderate-to-severe frontal collision to
help protect the head and chest of the driver and/or front passenger. They
are housed in the center of the steering wheel for the driver and in the
dashboard for the front passenger. Both airbags are marked
| 7
SRS (Supplemental Restraint System) indicates that the airbags are
designed to supplement seat belts, not replace them. Seat belts are the
occupant's primary restraint system.
The front airbags have advanced features to help reduce the likelihood of
airbag related injuries to smaller occupants.
The driver's advanced airbag system includes a seat position sensor. Based
on information from this sensor and the severity of the impact, the advanced
airbag system determines the optimal deployment of the driver's airbag.
The front passenger's advanced airbag system has weight sensors.
We advise against allowing a child age 12 or under to ride in the front
passenger's seat. However,
note that the system will automatically turn off
the front passenger's airbag if the sensor's detect that the child is
approximately 65 lbs (29 kg) or less.
For the advanced airbags to work properly:
• Do not spill any liquid on or under the seats.
• Do not put any object under the passenger's seat.
• Make sure any objects are positioned properly on the floor. Improperly
positioned objects can interfere with the advanced airbag sensors.
• All occupants should sit upright and wear their seat belts properly.
• Do not cover the passenger's side dashboard with a cloth, towel, cover,
etc.
The side airbags help protect the upper torso and pelvis of the driver or a
front passenger during a moderate-to-severe side impact. They are housed
in the outside edge of the driver's and front passenger's seat-backs. Both
are marked
8 |
Side curtain airbags help protect the heads of the driver and passengers in
outer seating positions during a moderate-to-severe side impact. The side
curtain airbags equipped in this vehicle are also designed to help reduce
the likelihood of partial and complete ejection of vehicle occupants through
side windows in crashes, particularly rollover crashes.
The side curtain airbags are located in the ceiling above the side windows
on both sides of the vehicle.
The side curtain airbags are deigned to deploy in a rollover or moderate-to-
severe side impact. If the SRS control unit senses that your vehicles is
about to roll over, it immediately deploys both side curtain airbags and
activates both front seat belt tensioners. If the impact is on the passenger's
side, the passenger's side curtain airbag will inflate even if there are no
occupants on that side of the vehicle.
To get the best protection from the side curtain airbags, occupants should
wear their seat belts properly and sit upright and well back in their seats.
Do not attach any objects to the side windows or roof pillars, as they can
interfere with the proper operation of the side curtain airbags.
One or both side curtain airbags may inflate in a moderate-to-severe angled
frontal collision.
Always wear your seat belt properly, sit upright, and as far back from the
steering wheel as possible while allowing full control of the vehicle. A front
passenger should move their seat as far back from the dashboard as
possible.
Carrying hard or sharp objects on your lap, or driving with a pipe or other
sharp object in your mouth, can result in injuries if your front airbag inflates.

Have your vehicle checked by a dealer as soon as possible if the SRS
indicator alerts you to a possible problem.
The indicator comes on to alert you that the front passenger’s front airbag
has been turned off. This occurs when the front passenger’s weight sensors
detect 65 lbs (29 kg) or less, the weight of an infant or small child, on the
seat.
Children age 12 or under should always ride properly restrained in a back
seat.
Objects placed on the seat can also cause the indicator to come on.
If the front passenger‘s seat is empty, the indicator will not come on and, in
the event of a crash, the front passenger's airbag will not deploy.
If the indicator comes on with no occupant or objects in the front
passenger’s seat, something may be interfering with the weight sensors,

You do not need to, and should not, perform any maintenance on or replace
any airbag system components yourself. However, you should have your
vehicle inspected by a dealer in the following situations:
If an airbag has inflated, the control unit and other related parts must be
replaced. Similarly, once an automatic seat belt tensioner has been
activated, it must be replaced.
Even if the airbags did not inflate, have your dealer inspect the following:
the driver’s seat position sensor, weight sensors in the passenger’s seat,
front seat belt tensioners, and each seat belt that was worn during the
crash.

Each year, many children are injured or killed in vehicle crashes because they
are either unrestrained or not properly restrained. In fact, vehicle collisions are
the number one cause of death of children ages 12 and under.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and Transport Canada
recommend that all children ages 12 and under be properly restrained in a rear
seat. Some states or provinces/territories have laws restricting where children
may ride.
To reduce the number of child deaths and injuries, every state, Canadian
province, and territory requires that infants and children be properly restrained
when they ride in a vehicle.
• An inflating front or side airbag can injure or kill a child sitting in the front
seat.
• A child in the front seat is more likely to interfere with the driver's ability
to safely control the vehicle.
• Statistics show that children of all sizes and ages are safer when they are
properly restrained in a rear seat.
• Any child who is too small to wear a seat belt correctly must be
restrained in an approved child seat that is properly secured to the
vehicle using either the lap belt portion of the lap/shoulder belt or the
lower anchors of the LATCH system.
• Never hold a child on your lap because it is impossible to protect them in
the event of a collision.
• Never put a seat belt over yourself and a child. During a crash, the belt
would likely press deep into the child and cause serious or fatal injuries.
• Never let two children use the same seat belt. Both children could be
very seriously injured in a crash.
• Do not allow children to operate the doors, windows, or seat adjustments.
14 |
• Do not leave children, pets or people needing assistance in the vehicle
unattended, especially in hot weather when the inside of the vehicle can
get hot enough to kill them. They could also activate vehicle controls,
causing it to move unexpectedly.
Children who are unrestrained or improperly restrained can be seriously
injured or killed in a crash.
Any child too small for a seat belt should be properly restrained in a child
seat. A larger child should be properly restrained with a seat belt, using a
booster seat if necessary.
Allowing a child to play with a seat belt or wrap one around their neck can
result in serious injury or death.
Instruct children not to play with any seat belt and make sure any unused
seat belt a child can reach is buckled, fully retracted, and locked.
An infant must be properly restrained in a rear-facing, reclining child seat
until the infant reaches the seat maker’s weight or height limit for the seat,
and the infant is at least one year old. Many experts recommend use of a
rear-facing seat for a child up to two years old if the child’s height and
weight are appropriate for a rear-facing seat.
Child seats must be placed and secured in a rear seating position. Rear-
facing child seats should never be installed in a forward-facing position.
When properly installed, a rear-facing child seat may prevent the driver or a
front passenger from moving their seat all the way back, or from locking
their seat-back in the desired position.
Make sure that there is no contact
between the child seat and the seat in
front of it. It can also interfere with
proper operation of the front
passenger’s advanced front airbag
system. If this occurs, we recommend
that you install the child seat directly
behind the front passenger’s seat, move
the seat as far forward as needed, and

leave it unoccupied. Or, you may wish to get a smaller rear-facing child seat.
Placing a rear-facing child seat in the front seat can result in serious injury
or death during a crash.
Always place a rear-facing child seat in the rear seat, not the front.
If a child is at least one year old and within the weight range indicated by
the child seat manufacturer, the child should be properly restrained in a
firmly secured forward-facing child seat.
We strongly recommend placing a
forward-facing child seat in a rear
seating position. Placing a forward-
facing child seat in the front seat can
be hazardous, even with advanced
front airbags that automatically turn the
passenger’s front airbag off. A rear seat
is the safest place for a child.
Placing a forward-facing child seat in the front seat can result in serious
injury or death if the front airbag inflates.
If you must place a forward-facing child seat in front, move the vehicle
seat as far back as possible, and properly restrain the child.
Most child seats are LATCH-compatible (Lower Anchors and Tethers for
CHildren). Some have a rigid-type connector, while others have a flexible-
type connector. Both are equally easy to use. Some existing and previously
owned child seats can only be installed using the seat belt. Whichever type
you choose, follow the child seat manufacturer’s use and care instructions
as well as the instructions in this guide. Proper installation is key to
maximizing your child’s safety.
In seating positions and vehicles not equipped with LATCH, a LATCH
compatible child seat can be installed using the seat belt and a top tether
for added security. This is because all child seats are required to be
designed so that they can be secured with a lap belt or the lap part of a lap/
shoulder belt. In addition, the child seat manufacturer may advise that a
seat belt be used to attach a LATCH-compatible seat once a child reaches a
16 |
specified weight. Please read the child seat owner’s manual for proper
installation instructions.
Make sure the child seat meets the following three requirements:
• The child seat is the correct type and size for the child.
• The child seat is the correct type for the seating position.
• The child seat is compliant with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard
213 or Canadian Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 213.
A LATCH-compatible child seat can be installed in either of the two outer
rear seats. A child seat is attached to the lower anchors with either the rigid
or flexible type of connectors.
1. Locate the anchor marks affixed to
the base of the seat cushion.
2. Pull out the anchor covers under the
marks to expose the lower anchors.
Raise the head restraint to its
highest position.
3. Place the child seat on the vehicle
seat, then attach the child seat to
the lower anchors according to the
instructions that came with the child seat. Make sure that the lower
anchors are not obstructed by the seat belt or any other object.
If necessary, remove the cargo area cover

leave it unoccupied. Or, you may wish to get a smaller rear-facing child seat.
Placing a rear-facing child seat in the front seat can result in serious injury
or death during a crash.
Always place a rear-facing child seat in the rear seat, not the front.
If a child is at least one year old and within the weight range indicated by
the child seat manufacturer, the child should be properly restrained in a
firmly secured forward-facing child seat.
We strongly recommend placing a
forward-facing child seat in a rear
seating position. Placing a forward-
facing child seat in the front seat can
be hazardous, even with advanced
front airbags that automatically turn the
passenger’s front airbag off. A rear seat
is the safest place for a child.
Placing a forward-facing child seat in the front seat can result in serious
injury or death if the front airbag inflates.
If you must place a forward-facing child seat in front, move the vehicle
seat as far back as possible, and properly restrain the child.

4. Route the tether strap between the head restraint legs, and secure the
tether strap hook to the anchor.
| 17
5. Tighten the tether strap as
instructed by the child seat
manufacturer.
6. Make sure the child seat is firmly
secured by rocking it forward and
back and side to side; little
movement should be felt.
7. Make sure any unused seat belt that
a child can reach is buckled, the
lockable retractor is activated, and the belt is fully retracted and locked.
Never attach two child seats to the same anchor. In a collision, one anchor
may not be strong enough to hold two child seats attachments and may

When a child is too big for a child seat, secure the child in a rear seat using
the lap/shoulder seat belt.
Have the child sit upright and all the way back, then ensure the following:
*1 - If equipped

• The child’s knees bend comfortably
over the edge of the seat.
• The shoulder belt crosses between
the child’s neck and arm.
• The lap part of the seat belt is as low
as possible, touching the child’s
thighs.
• The child can stay seated for the
whole trip.
If a lap/shoulder belt cannot be used
properly, position the child in a booster
seat in a rear seating position. For the
child’s safety, check that the child meets the booster seat manufacturer’s
recommendations.
Some U.S. states and Canadian provinces/territories require children to use
a booster seat until they reach a given age or weight (e.g., 6 years or 60 lbs).
Be sure to check current laws in the state or province/territory where you
intend to drive.
Allowing a child age 12 or under to sit in the front can result in injury or
death if the passenger’s front airbag inflates.
If a larger child must ride in front, move the vehicle seat as far to the rear
as possible, have the child sit up properly and wear the seat belt properly,
using a booster seat if needed.
Safety labels are in the locations shown. They warn you of potential hazards
that can cause serious injury or death. Read these labels carefully.
If a label comes off or becomes hard to read (except for the U.S. dashboard
label which may be removed by the owner), contact a dealer for a replacement.

Learn about preparation for driving, as well as other features.
Check the following items before you begin driving.
• Make sure there are no obstructions on the windows, door mirrors,
exterior lights, or other parts of the vehicle.
• Remove any frost, snow, or ice.
• Make sure the hood is securely closed.
• Make sure the tailgate is fully closed when it is not being used as an
extended pickup bed.
• Heat from the engine and exhaust can ignite flammable materials left
under the hood, causing a fire. If you’ve parked your vehicle for an
extended period, inspect and remove any debris that may have collected,
such as dried grass and leaves that have fallen or have been carried in
for use as a nest by a small animal. Also check under the hood for
leftover flammable materials after you or someone else has performed
maintenance on your vehicle.
• Make sure the tires are in good condition.
• Make sure there are no people or objects behind or around the vehicle.
If the doors are frozen shut, use warm water around the door edges to
melt any ice. Do not try to force them open, as this can damage the
rubber trim around the doors. When done, wipe dry to avoid further
freezing.
• Store or secure all items on board properly.
• Do not pile items higher than the seat height.
• Do not place anything in the front seat footwells. Make sure to secure the
floor mats.
• If you have any animals on board, do not let them move freely in the
vehicle.
• Securely close and lock all doors and the tailgate.
• Adjust your seating position, mirrors, and steering wheel properly.
80 |
• Make sure items placed on the floor behind the front seats cannot roll
under the seats.
• Everyone in the vehicle must fasten their seat belt.
• Make sure that the indicators in the instrument panel come on when you
start the vehicle, and go off soon after.
In addition:
• During the first 600 miles (1,000 km) of operation, avoid sudden
acceleration or full throttle operation so as to not damage the engine or
powertrain.
• Avoid hard braking for the first 200 miles (300 km). You should also follow
this when the brake pads are replaced.
Utility vehicles have a significantly higher rollover rate than other types of
vehicles. To prevent rollovers or loss of control:
• Take corners at slower speeds than you would with a passenger vehicle.
• Avoid sharp turns and abrupt maneuvers whenever possible.
• Do not modify your vehicle in any way that would raise its center of
gravity.
• Never carry more than 165 lbs (75 kg) of cargo on the roof rack (Honda
accessory).
Carrying too much cargo or improperly storing it can affect your vehicle’s
handling, stability, stopping distance, and tires, and make it unsafe. See the Tire
and Loading Information label on the driver’s doorjamb.
The maximum load for your vehicle type is:
• 850 lbs (385 kg)

This figure includes the total weight of all occupants, cargo, and
accessories, and the tongue load if you are towing a trailer. Below are the
steps for determining the 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 1,400 lbs. (635
kg) and there will be five 150 lbs. passengers in your vehicle, the amount
of available cargo and luggage load capacity is 650 lbs. (1,400 - 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 the Owner’s Manual to determine
how this reduces the available cargo and luggage load capacity of your
vehicle.
Overloading or improper loading can affect handling and stability and
cause a crash in which you can be hurt or killed.
Follow all load limits and other loading guidelines in this guide.
82 |
In addition, the total weight of the vehicle, all occupants, accessories,
cargo, and trailer tongue load must not exceed the Gross Vehicle Weight
Rating (GVWR) or the Gross Axle Weight Rating (GAWR). Both are on a label
on the driver’s doorjamb.
The headlight aim on your vehicle was set by the factory, and does not need
to be adjusted. However, if you regularly carry heavy items in the cargo area
or tow a trailer, have the aiming readjusted at your dealer or by a qualified
technician.
Your vehicle is not designed to tow a trailer. Attempting to do so can void your
vehicle warranties.
Your vehicle is not designed to be towed behind a motorhome. If your vehicle
needs to be towed in an emergency, refer to Emergency Towing.

If your vehicle's tire pressure becomes significantly low, or if there is a problem
with the TPMS or the compact spare tire is installed, the indicator blinks for
about one minute, and then stays on.
Stop your vehicle in safe place. Check the tire pressure and adjust the
pressure to the specified level. The specified tire pressure is on a label on
the driver's doorjamb.
Each tire, including the spare (if provided), should be checked monthly
when cold and inflated to the inflation pressure recommended by the
vehicle manufacturer on the vehicle placard or tire inflation pressure label.
(If your vehicle has tires of a different size than the size indicated on the
vehicle placard or tire inflation pressure label, you should determine the
proper tire inflation pressure for those tires.)

Continuing to drive with the temperature gauge needle at the H mark may
damage the engine.
The ENGINE START/STOP button may be used to stop the engine due to an
emergency situation even while driving. If you must stop the engine, choose
one of the following operations:
• Press and hold the ENGINE START/STOP
button for two seconds,
• Firmly press the ENGINE START/STOP
button three times.
The steering wheel will not lock. However,
because turning off the power system
disables the power assist the power
system provides to the steering and braking
systems, it will require significantly more
physical effort and time to steer and slow the vehicle. Use both feet on the
brake pedal to slow down the vehicle and stop immediately in a safe place.
The power mode is in ACCESSORY when the engine is stopped.
To change the mode to VEHICLE OFF, move the shift lever to Park (P) after the
vehicle comes to a complete stop.
Then press the button twice without
depressing the brake pedal.
Do not press the button while driving unless it is absolutely necessary for the
engine to be switched off.
Call a professional towing service if you need to tow your vehicle.
The operator loads your vehicle on the back of a truck.
The tow truck uses two pivoting arms that go under the
front tires and lift them off the ground. The rear tires remain on the ground.
Trying to lift or tow your vehicle by the bumpers will cause serious damage. The
bumpers are not designed to support the vehicle’s weight.

As an added safety feature, your vehicle has been equipped with a tire
pressure monitoring system (TPMS) that illuminates a low tire pressure
telltale when one or more of your tires is significantly under-inflated.
Accordingly, when the low tire pressure telltale illuminates, you should stop
and check your tires as soon as possible, and inflate them to the proper
pressure.
Driving on a significantly under-inflated tire causes the tire to overheat and
can lead to tire failure. Under-inflation also reduces fuel efficiency and tire
tread life, and may affect the vehicle's handling and stopping ability.
Please note that the TPMS is not a substitute for proper tire maintenance,
and it is the driver's responsibility to maintain correct tire pressure, even if
under-inflation has not reached the level to trigger illumination of the TPMS
low tire pressure telltale.
Your vehicle has also been equipped with a TPMS malfunction indicator to
indicate when the system is not operating properly. The TPMS malfunction
indicator is combined with the low tire pressure telltale. When the system
detects a malfunction, the telltale will flash for approximately one minute
and then remain continuously illuminated. This sequence will continue upon
subsequent vehicle start-ups as long as the malfunction exists.
When the malfunction indicator is illuminated, the system may not be able to
detect or signal low tire pressure as intended.
TPMS malfunctions may occur for a variety of reasons, including the
installation of replacement or alternate tires or wheels on the vehicle that
prevent the TPMS from functioning properly.
Always check the TPMS malfunction telltale after replacing one or more
tires or wheels on your vehicle to ensure that the replacement or alternate
tires and wheels allow the TPMS to continue to function properly.
If a tire goes flat while driving, grasp the steering wheel firmly and brake
gradually to reduce speed. Then stop in a safe place. Replace the flat tire with
the compact spare tire. Go to a dealer as soon as possible to have the full-size
tire repaired or replaced.
1. Park the vehicle on firm, level, non-slippery surface and set the parking
brake.
2. Shift to Park (P).
3. Turn on the hazard warning lights and set the power mode to VEHICLE OFF.

1. Place the jack under the jacking
point closest to the tire to be
changed.
2. Turn the end bracket clockwise (as

the jack contacts the jacking point.
Make sure that the jacking point tab
is resting in the jack notch.
3. Raise the vehicle, using the jack
handle bar and the jack handle, until
the tire is off the ground.
The vehicle can easily roll off the jack, seriously injuring anyone
underneath.
Follow the directions for changing a tire exactly, and never get under the
vehicle when it is supported only by the jack.
Do not use the jack if it doesn't work properly. Call your dealer or a
professional towing service.
The following instructions must be followed to use the jack safely:
• Do not use the jack with people or luggage in the vehicle.

washer reservoir. Antifreeze can damage your vehicle’s paint. A vinegar/water
solution can damage the windshield washer pump.
The fluid level should be between the MIN and MAX marks on the side of the
tank. We recommend using .
Pour the fluid carefully.
If the fluid level is at or below the MIN mark, have a dealer inspect for leaks or
worn brake pads as soon as possible.
Brake fluid marked DOT 5 is not compatible with your vehicle’s braking system
and can cause extensive damage.
If the wiper blades leave streaks across the windshield, try cleaning them first
with a paper towel or soft cloth and wiper fluid. If the wiper blade rubber has
deteriorated, you should change the wiper blades.

To safely operate your vehicle, your tires must be of the proper type and size, in
good condition with adequate tread, and properly inflated.
• Properly inflated tires provide the best combination of handling, tread life,
and comfort. Refer to the driver’s doorjamb label or the specifications see
SPECIFICATIONS for the specified pressure.
• Underinflated tires wear unevenly, adversely affect handling and fuel
economy, and are more likely to fail from overheating.
• Overinflated tires make your vehicle ride harshly, are more prone to road
hazards, and wear unevenly.
• Every day before you drive, look at each of the tires. If one looks lower
than the others, check the pressure with a tire gauge.
• Measure the air pressure when tires are cold. This means the vehicle has
been parked for at least 3 hours, or driven less than 1 mile (1.6 km). If
necessary, add or release air until the specified pressure is reached. If
checked when hot, tire pressure can be as much as 4-6 psi (30-40 kPa,
0.3-0.4 kgf/cm
2
) higher than checked when cold.
• At least once a month or before long trips, use a gauge to measure the
pressure in all tires, including the spare
*1
. Even tires in good condition
can lose 1-2 psi (10-20 kPa, 0.1-0.2 kgf/cm
2
) per month.
128 |
Every time you inflate the tires, check for the following:
• Any damage to tires, including bumps, bulges, cuts, splits, or cracks in
the side or tread. Remove any foreign objects and inspect for air leaks.
Replace tires if you see fabric or cord.
• Uneven or excessive tread wear. Have a dealer check the wheel
alignment.
• Cracks or other damage around the valve stems.
The groove where the wear indicator is
located is 1/16 inch (1.6 mm) shallower
than elsewhere on the tire. If the tread
has worn so low that the indicator is
exposed, replace the tire. Worn out
tires have poor traction on wet roads.
Using tires that are excessively worn or improperly inflated can cause a
crash in which you can be seriously hurt or killed. Follow all instructions in
the owner’s manual regarding tire inflation and maintenance.
The label attached to the driver’s doorjamb provides necessary tire and
loading information.

2. The total weight your vehicle can carry. Do not exceed this weight.
3. The original tire sizes for front, rear, and spare.
4. The proper cold tire pressure for front, rear, and spare.
Replace your tires with radials of the same size, load range, speed rating,
and maximum cold tires pressure rating (as shown on the tires' sidewall).
Using tires of a different size or construction can cause certain vehicle
systems to work incorrectly. It is best to replace all four tires at the same
time. If that isn’t possible, replace the front or rear tires in pairs.
If you change or replace a wheel, make sure that the wheel’s specifications
match those of the original wheels. Only use TPMS-specified wheels
approved for your vehicle.
Installing improper tires on your vehicle can affect handling and stability.
This can cause a crash in which you can be seriously hurt or killed.
Always use the size and type of tires recommended in the Owner’s
Manual.
The life of your tires is dependent on many factors, including driving habits,
road conditions, vehicle loading, inflation pressure, maintenance history,
speed, and environmental conditions (even when the tires are not in use).
In addition to regular inspections and inflation pressure maintenance, it is
recommended that you have annual inspections performed once the tires
reach five years old. All tires, including the spare, should be removed from
service after 10 years from the date of manufacture, regardless of their
condition or state of wear.

If driving on snowy or frozen roads, mount all season tires marked “M+S”,
snow tires, or tire chains; reduce speed and maintain sufficient distance
between vehicles when driving. For winter tires, select the size and load
ranges that are the same as the original tires, and mount them to all four
wheels.
Install tire chains on the front tires only. Because your vehicle has limited
tire clearance, we strongly recommend using the following chains:
Models with 215/55R17 tires:
Models with 225/50R18 tires: Not recommended to use any type of chains
Mount chains as tightly as you can and make sure that they do not touch the
brake lines or suspension.
Traction devices that are the wrong size or improperly installed can damage
your vehicle’s brake lines, suspension, body, and wheels. Stop driving if they
are hitting any part of the vehicle.
Using the wrong chains, or not properly installing chains, can damage the
brake lines and cause a crash in which you can be seriously injured or
killed.
Follow all instructions in this guide regarding the selection and use of tire
chains.

The tires that came on your vehicle have a number of markings. Those you
should be aware of are described below.
Here is an example of what each marking means:
| 131
• P: tire type (passenger vehicle)
• 215: tire width in millimeters
• 55: aspect ratio (tire section height as a
percentage of its width)
• R: tire construction code (radial)
• 17: rim diameter in inches
• 94: load index (code indicating maximum
load tire can carry)
• V: speed symbol (code indicating
maximum speed rating)
The tire identification number (TIN) is a
group of numbers and letters that look
like the following example. The TIN is
located on the sidewall of the tire.
– The tire air pressure when the vehicle has been parked
for at least three hours or driven less than 1 mile (1.6 km).
– The maximum load that a tire is rated to carry for a given
inflation pressure.
– The maximum tire air pressure that the tire
can hold.
– The load rating for a tire at the maximum
permissible inflation pressure for that tire.
– The cold tire inflation pressure
recommended by the manufacturer.
– The projections within the principal grooves
designed to give a visual indication of the degrees of wear of the tread.
The tires on your vehicle meet all U.S. Federal Safety Requirements. All tires are
also graded for treadwear, traction, and temperature performance according to
Department of Transportation (DOT) standards. These gradings are explained
below.

132 |
Quality grades can be found where applicable on the tire sidewall between
tread shoulder and maximum section width.
For example:
All passenger car tires must conform to Federal Safety Requirements in
addition to these grades.
The treadwear grade is a comparative rating based on the wear rate of the
tire when tested under controlled conditions on a specified government test
course. For example, a tire graded 150 would wear one and one-half (1 1/2)
times as well on the government course as a tire graded 100. The relative
performance of tires depends upon the actual conditions of their use,
however, and may depart significantly from the norm due to variations in
driving habits, service practices, and differences in road characteristics
and climate.
The traction grades, from highest to lowest, are AA, A, B, and C. Those
grades represent the tire’s ability to stop on wet pavement as measured
under controlled conditions on specified government test surfaces of
asphalt and concrete. A tire marked C may have poor traction performance.
The traction grade assigned to this tire is based on straight-
ahead braking traction tests, and does not include acceleration, cornering,
hydroplaning, or peak traction characteristics.
The temperature grades are A (the highest), B, and C, representing the tire’s
resistance to the generation of heat and its ability to dissipate heat when
tested under controlled conditions on a specified indoor laboratory test
wheel. Sustained high temperature can cause the material of the tire to
degenerate and reduce tire life, and excessive temperature can lead to
sudden tire failure. The grade C corresponds to a level of performance
which all passenger car tire must meet under the Federal Motor Vehicle
Safety Standard No. 109. Grades B and A represent higher levels of
performance on the laboratory test wheel than the minimum required by
law.

The temperature grade for this tire is established for a tire that
is properly inflated and not overloaded. Excessive speed, underinflation, or
excessive loading, either separately or in combination, can cause heat
buildup and possible tire failure.
To ensure proper and safe operation, the Society of Automotive Engineers
(SAEJ2845) recommends that the refrigerant system only be serviced by trained
and certified technicians.
Never repair or replace the air conditioning evaporator (cooling coil) with one
removed from a used or salvaged vehicle.
New replacement mobile air conditioning evaporators must be certified (and
labeled) as meeting SAE Standard J2842.
Your vehicle has readiness codes as part of the onboard self-diagnostic system.
Some states use these codes for testing to verify whether your vehicle’s
emissions components are working properly. The codes may not be read if you
go through the testing just after the battery has gone dead or been
disconnected.
To check if they are set, set the power mode to ON without starting the engine.
The malfunction indicator lamp will come on for several seconds. If it goes off,
the readiness codes are set. If it blinks five times, the readiness codes are not
set.
If you are required to have your vehicle tested before the readiness codes are
set, prepare the vehicle for retesting by doing the following:
1. Fill the gas tank to approximately 3/4 full.
2. Park the vehicle and leave the engine off for 6 hours or more.
3. Make sure the ambient temperature is between 40°F and 95°F (4°C and
35°C).
4. Turn the power system on.
5. Select a nearby, lightly traveled major highway where you can maintain a
speed of 50 to 60 mph (80 to 97 km/h) for at least 20 minutes. Drive on the
highway with the vehicle in Drive. Do not use cruise control.
6. Drive in city or suburban traffic for at least 10 minutes. When traffic
conditions allow, let the vehicle coast for several seconds without using the
accelerator pedal or the brake pedal.
7. Park the vehicle and leave the engine off for 40 minutes.
134 |
The readiness codes are erased when the battery is disconnected. The codes
are set again only after several days of driving under a variety of conditions.
If a testing facility determines that the readiness codes are not set, you may be
requested to return at a later date to complete the test or see your dealer.
