sudden stops or jolts, unsecured cargo
could be thrown around in the vehicle and
cause injury. Do not pile heavy loads on
the roof. Those loads raise the vehicle’s
center of gravity and make it more prone
to tip over.
. If you must rock the vehicle to free it
from sand or mud, depress the accelerator
pedal slightly and move the select lever
back and forth between “D” and “R”
repeatedly. Do not race the hybrid system.
For the best possible traction, avoid
spinning the wheels when trying to free
the vehicle.
. Never equip your vehicle with tires
larger than those specified in this manual.
. Wash the vehicle’s underbody after off-
road driving. Suspension components are
particularly prone to dirt buildup, so they
need to be washed thoroughly.
. Frequent driving of an AWD model
under hard-drivi ng conditions such as
rough roads or off roads will necessitate
more frequent replacement of the follow-
ing i tems than that specified in the
maintenance schedule described in the
“Warranty and Maintenance Booklet ” .

Winter driving
& Operation during cold
weather
! Maintenance
Carry some emergency equipment, such
as a window scraper, a bag of sand,
flares, a small shovel and jumper cables.
Check the battery and cables. Cold
temperatures reduce battery capacity.
The battery must be in good condition to
provide enough power for cold winter
starts.
It normally takes longer to start the hybrid
system in very cold weather conditions.
Use an engine oil of a proper grade and
viscosity for cold weather. Using heavy
summer oil will make it harder to start the
hybrid system.
Keep the door locks from freezing by
squirting them with deicer or glycerin.
Forcing a frozen door open may damage
or separate the rubber weather strips
around the door. If the door is frozen,
use hot water to melt the ice, and after-
wards thoroughly wipe the water away.
Use a windshield washer fluid that con-
tains an antifreeze solution. Do not use
engine antifreeze or other substitutes
