NOTICE

• Make sure there are no obstructions on the windows, door mirrors, exterior

When 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.

Do not pour warm water into the key cylinder.

You will be unable to insert the key if the water

freezes in the hole.

lights, or other parts of the vehicle.

u Remove any frost, snow, or ice.

u Remove any snow on the roof, as this can slip down and obstruct your field of

vision while driving. If frozen solid, remove ice once it has softened.

u When removing ice from around the wheels, be sure not to damage the wheel

or wheel components.

• Make sure the hood is securely closed.

u If the hood opens while driving, your front view will be blocked.

• Make sure the tires are in good condition.

u Check air pressures, and check for damage and excessive wear.

2 Checking and Maintaining Tires P. 602

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 there are no people or objects behind or around the vehicle.

u There are blind spots from the inside.

The headlight aim is set by the factory, and does not

need to be adjusted. However, if you regularly carry

heavy items in the cargo area, have the aiming

readjusted at a dealer or by a qualified technician.

• Store or secure all items on board properly.

u Carrying too much cargo, or improperly storing it, can affect your vehicle's

handling, stability, stopping distance, and tires, and make it unsafe.

2 Maximum Load Limit P. 459

• Do not pile items higher than the seat height.

u They can block your view and may be thrown forward in the event of sudden

braking.

• Do not place anything in the front seat footwells. Make sure to secure the floor

mat.

u An object or unsecured floor mat can interfere with your brake and accelerator

pedal operation while driving.

• If you have any animals on board, do not let them move around in the vehicle.

u They may interfere with driving and a crash could occur.

• Securely close and lock all doors and the tailgate.

2 Locking/Unlocking the Doors from the Inside P. 160

Maximum Load Limit

1Maximum Load Limit

The maximum load for your vehicle is 850 lbs (385 kg). See the Tire

and Loading Information label attached to the driver’s doorjamb.

WARNING

Overloading or improper loading

can affect handling and stability

and cause a crash in which you

can be hurt or killed.

Label Example

Follow all load limits and other

loading guidelines in this manual.

Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR):

The maximum allowable weight of the vehicle, all

occupants, all accessories and all cargo.

2 Specifications P. 664

This figure includes the total weight of all occupants, cargo, and

accessories, and the tongue load if you are towing 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.

Gross Axle Weight Rating (GAWR):

The maximum allowable weight of the vehicle axle.

2 Specifications P. 664

(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. and there will be five 150 lb. 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 this manual to

determine how this reduces the available cargo and luggage

load capacity of your vehicle.

Towing a Trailer:

See Towing a Trailer to determine whether your

vehicle is designed to tow a trailer.

2 Towing a Trailer P. 461

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.
