NOTICE

Always be sure to clean the area around any filler plug, drain plug, or dipstick

before checking or draining any lubricant. This is especially important in dusty or

sandy areas and when the vehicle is used on unpaved roads. Cleaning the plug

and dipstick areas will prevent dirt and grit from entering the engine and other

mechanisms that could be damaged.

Never add any additives to the engine oil. Engine oil additives can change the

properties of engine oil and may cause serious engine failure.

Engine oil viscosity (thickness) has an effect on fuel economy and cold weather

operating (engine start and engine oil flowability). Lower viscosity engine oils can

provide better fuel economy and cold weather performance, however, higher viscosity

engine oils are required for satisfactory lubrication in hot weather. Using oils of any

viscosity other than those recommended could result in engine damage.

When choosing an oil, consider the range of temperature your vehicle will be operated

in before the next oil change. Proceed to select the recommended oil viscosity from

the chart.

Additionally, this chapter explains how to properly restrain infants and children in your vehicle.

Seats & Safety System

3-2

You will find many safety precautions

and recommendations throughout this

section, and throughout this manual.

The safety precautions in this section are

among the most important.

Always Wear Your Seat Belt

A seat belt is your best protection in all

types of accidents. Air bags are designed

to supplement seat belts, not to replace

them. So even though your vehicle is

equipped with air bags, ALWAYS make

sure you and your passengers wear your

seat belts, and wear them properly.

Restrain All Children

All children under age 13 should ride

in your vehicle properly restrained in a

rear seat, not the front seat. Infants and

small children should be restrained in

an appropriate Child Restraint System.

Larger children should use a booster

seat with the lap/shoulder belt until they

can use the seat belt properly without a

booster seat.

Air Bag Hazards

While air bags can save lives, they can

also cause serious or fatal injuries to

occupants who sit too close to them, or

who are not properly restrained. Infants,

young children, and short adults are at

the greatest risk of being injured by an

inflating air bag. Follow all instructions

and warnings in this manual.

Driver Distraction

Driver distraction presents a serious and

potentially deadly danger, especially for

inexperienced drivers. Safety should be

the first concern when behind the wheel

and drivers need to be aware of the wide

array of potential distractions, such as

drowsiness, reaching for objects, eating,

personal grooming, other passengers,

and using mobile phones.

Drivers can become distracted when

they take their eyes and attention off

the road or their hands off the wheel to

focus on activities other than driving.

To reduce your risk of distraction and an

accident:

Set up your mobile devices (for

example, MP3 players, phones,

navigation units, etc.) ONLY when

your vehicle is parked or safely

stopped.

ONLY use your mobile device when

allowed by laws and conditions

permit safe use. NEVER text or email

while driving. Most states have laws

prohibiting drivers from texting. Some

states and cities also prohibit drivers

from using handheld phones.

NEVER let the use of a mobile device

distract you from driving. You have a

responsibility to your passengers and

others on the road to always drive

safely, with your hands on the wheel

as well as your eyes and attention on

the road.

Control Your Speed

Excessive speed is a major factor in crash

injuries and deaths. Generally, the higher

the speed, the greater the risk, but

serious injuries can also occur at lower

speeds. Never drive faster than is safe

for current conditions, regardless of the

maximum speed posted.

Keep Your Vehicle in Safe

Condition

Having a tire blowout or a mechanical

failure can be extremely hazardous. To

reduce the possibility of such problems,

check your tire pressures and condition

frequently, and perform all regularly

scheduled maintenance.

IMPORTANT SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

Seats & Safety System

3-4

Safety Precautions

Adjusting the seats so that you are sitting

in a safe and comfortable position plays

an important role for the safety of the

driver and passengers, as much as seat

belts and air bags when in an accident.

WARNING

Do not use a cushion that reduces

friction between the seat and the

passenger. The passenger’s hips may

slide under the lap portion of the seat

belt during an accident or a sudden

stop.
Serious or fatal internal injuries could

result because the seat belt cannot

operate properly.

Air bags

You can take steps to reduce the risk

of being injured by an inflating air bag.

Sitting too close to an air bag greatly

increases the risk of injury in the event

the air bag inflates.
The National Highway Traffic Safety

Administration (NHTSA) recommends

that drivers allow at least 10 inches

(25cm) between the center of the

steering wheel and their chest.

WARNING

To reduce the risk of serious injury or

death from an inflating air bag, take the

following precautions:

Adjust the driver’s seat as far to the

rear as possible while maintaining

the ability to control the vehicle.

Adjust the front passenger seat as far

to the rear as possible.

Hold the steering wheel by the rim

with your hands at the 9 o’clock and

3 o’clock positions to minimize the

risk of injuries to your hands and

arms.

NEVER place anything or anyone

between you and the air bag.

Do not allow the front passenger to

place feet or legs on the dashboard

to minimize the risk of leg injuries.

3-5

Seat belts

Always fasten your seat belt before

starting any trip. At all times, passengers

should sit upright and be properly

restrained. Infants and small children

must be restrained in appropriate Child

Restraint Systems. Children who have

outgrown a booster seat and adults must

be restrained using the seat belts.

WARNING

Take the following precautions when

adjusting your seat belt:

NEVER use one seat belt for more

than one occupant.

Always position the seatback upright

with the lap portion of the seat belt

snug and low across the hips.

NEVER allow children or small infants

to ride on a passenger’s lap.

Do not route the seat belt across your

neck, across sharp edges, or reroute

the shoulder strap away from your

body.

Do not allow the seat belt to become

caught or jammed.

Front Seats

WARNING

Take the following precautions when

adjusting your seat:

NEVER attempt to adjust the seat

while the vehicle is moving. The seat

could respond with unexpected

movement and may cause loss

of vehicle control resulting in an

accident.

Do not place anything under the

front seats. Loose objects in the

driver’s foot area could interfere

with the operation of the foot pedals,

causing an accident.

Do not allow anything to interfere

with the normal position and proper

locking of the seatback.

Do not place a cigarette lighter on

the floor or seat. When you operate

the seat, gas may exit out of the

lighter causing a fire.

Use extreme caution when picking

up small objects trapped under the

seats or between the seat and the

center console. Your hands might be

cut or injured by the sharp edges of

the seat mechanism.

If there are occupants in the rear

seats, be careful while adjusting the

front seat position.

Make sure that the seat is locked in

place after the adjustment. If not,

the seat might move unexpectedly

resulting in an accident.

CAUTION

To prevent injury:

Do not adjust your seat while

wearing your seat belt. Moving the

seat cushion forward may cause

strong pressure on your abdomen.

Do not allow your hands or fingers to

get caught in the seat mechanisms

while the seat is moving.

Seats & Safety System

3-6

Manual adjustment

The front seat can be adjusted by using

the levers located underneath the seat

cushion. Before driving, adjust the seat

to the proper position so that you can

easily control the steering wheel, foot

pedals and controls on the instrument

panel.

ONX4030002

Forward and rearward adjustment

To move the seat forward or rearward:
1. Pull up the seat slide adjustment lever

and hold it.

2. Slide the seat to the position you

desire.

3. Release the lever and make sure the

seat is locked in place. Move forward

and rearward without using the lever.

If the seat moves, it is not locked

properly.

ONX4030003

Seatback angle

To recline the seatback:
1. Lean forward slightly and lift up the

seatback lever.

2. Carefully lean back on the seat and

adjust the seatback to the position

you desire.

3. Release the knob and make sure the

seatback is locked in place.

3-7

Reclining seatback

Sitting in a reclined position when the

vehicle is in motion can be dangerous.

Even when buckled up, the protections

of your restraint system (seat belts

and/or air bags) is greatly reduced by

reclining your seatback.

WARNING

NEVER ride with a reclined seatback

when the vehicle is moving.
Riding with a reclined seatback

increases your chance of serious or fatal

injuries in the event of a collision or

sudden stop.
Drivers and passengers should ALWAYS

sit well back in their seats, properly

belted, and with the seatbacks upright.

Seat belts must be snug against your

hips and chest to work properly. When

the seatback is reclined, the shoulder

belt cannot do its job because it will not

be snug against your chest. Instead,

it will be in front of you. During an

accident, you could be thrown into the

seat belt, causing neck or other injuries.
The more the seatback is reclined,

the greater chance the passenger’s

hips will slide under the lap belt or the

passenger’s neck will strike the shoulder

belt.

ONX4030004

Seat height (if equipped)

To change the height of the seat:

Push down the lever several times, to

lower the seat.

Pull up the lever several times, to raise

NEVER allow children in the vehicle

unattended. The power seats are

operable when the vehicle is turned off.

NOTICE

To prevent damage to the seats:

Always stop adjusting the seats when

the seat has been adjusted as far

forward or rearward as possible.

Do not adjust the seats longer than

necessary when the vehicle is turned

off. This may result in unnecessary

battery drain.

Do not operate two or more seats at

the same time. This may result in an

electrical malfunction.

ONX4030006

Forward and rearward adjustment

To move the seat forward or rearward:

3-9

Reclining seatback

Sitting in a reclined position when the

vehicle is in motion can be dangerous.

Even when buckled up, the protections

of your restraint system (seat belts and

air bags) is greatly reduced by reclining

your seatback.

WARNING

NEVER ride with a reclined seatback

when the vehicle is moving.
Riding with a reclined seatback

increases your chance of serious or fatal

injuries in the event of a collision or

sudden stop.
Driver and passengers should ALWAYS

sit well back in their seats, properly

belted, and with the seatbacks upright.

Seat belts must be snug against your

hips and chest to work properly. When

the seatback is reclined, the shoulder

belt cannot do its job because it will not

be snug against your chest. Instead,

it will be in front of you. During an

accident, you could be thrown into the

seat belt, causing neck or other injuries.
The more the seatback is reclined,

the greater chance the passenger’s

hips will slide under the lap belt or the

passenger’s neck will strike the shoulder

belt.

Folding the rear seat

The rear seatbacks can be folded to

facilitate carrying long items or to

increase the luggage capacity of the

vehicle.

WARNING

Never allow passengers to sit on top

of the folded down seatback while

the vehicle is moving. This is not a

proper seating position and no seat

belts are available for use. This could

result in serious injury or death in

case of an accident or sudden stop.

Objects carried on the folded down

seatback should not extend higher

than the top of the front seatbacks.

This could allow cargo to slide

forward and cause injury or damage

during sudden stops.

To fold down the rear seatback:
1. Set the front seatback to the upright

position and if necessary, slide the

front seat forward.

2. Lower the rear head restraints to the

lowest position.

3. Route the seat belt webbing through

the rear seat belt guides to prevent

the belts from being trapped behind

or under the seats.

ONX4H030003

4. Pull on the seatback folding lever (2nd

row seat), then fold the seat toward

the front of the vehicle. When you

return the seatback to its upright

position, always be sure it has locked

WARNING

When returning the rear seatback from

a folded to an upright position, hold the

seatback and return it slowly. Ensure

that the seatback is completely locked

into its upright position by pushing on

the top of the seatback. In an accident

or sudden stop, the unlocked seatback

could allow cargo to move forward with

great force and enter the passenger

compartment, which could result in

serious injury or death.

WARNING

Do not place objects in the rear seats,

since they cannot be properly secured

and may hit vehicle occupants in a

collision causing serious injury or death.

WARNING

Make sure the engine is off, the gear

shifted to P (Park), and the parking

brake is securely applied whenever

loading or unloading cargo. Failure

to take these steps may allow the

vehicle to move if the shift button

is inadvertently pressed to another

position.

CAUTION

Be careful when loading cargo

through the rear passenger seats

to prevent damage to the vehicle

interior.

When cargo is loaded through the

rear passenger seats, ensure the

cargo is properly secured to prevent

it from moving while driving.

WARNING

Cargo should always be secured to

prevent it from being thrown about the

vehicle in a collision and causing injury

to the vehicle occupants. Do not place

objects in the rear seats, since they

cannot be properly secured and may hit

the front seat occupants in a collision.

3-14

Head Restraint

The vehicle’s front and rear seats

have adjustable head restraints. The

head restraints provide comfort for

passengers, but more importantly they

are designed to help protect passengers

from whiplash and other neck and spinal

injuries during an accident, especially in

a rear impact collision.

WARNING

To help reduce, the risk of serious

injury or death in an accident, take the

following precautions when adjusting

your head restraints:

Always properly adjust the head

restraints for all passengers BEFORE

starting the vehicle.

NEVER let anyone ride in a seat

with the head restraint removed or

reversed.

OHI039190N

Adjust the head restraints so the

middle of the head restraint is at the

same height as the height of the top

of the eyes.

NEVER adjust the head restraint

This section describes how to use the

seat belts properly. It also describes

some of the things not to do when using

seat belts.

Seat Belt Safety Precautions

Always fasten your seat belt and make

sure all passengers have fastened their

seat belts before starting any trip. Air

bags are designed to supplement the

seat belt as an additional safety device,

not a replacement. Most states require all

occupants of a vehicle to wear seat belts.

WARNING

Seat belts must be used by ALL

passengers whenever the vehicle is

moving. Take the following precautions

when adjusting and wearing seat belts:

Children under the age of 13 should

be properly restrained in the rear

seats.

Never allow children to ride in the

front passenger seat, unless the air

bag is deactivated. If a child is seated

in the front passenger seat, move the

seat as far back as possible. And the

child must always be restrained in

the seat properly.

NEVER allow an infant or child to be

carried on an occupant’s lap.

NEVER ride with the seatback

reclined when the vehicle is moving.

Do not allow children to share a seat

or seat belt.

Do not wear the shoulder belt under

your arm or behind your back.

NEVER wear a seat belt over fragile

objects. If there is a sudden stop or

impact, the seat belt can damage it.

Do not use the seat belt if it is

twisted. A twisted seat belt will not

protect you properly in an accident.

Do not use a seat belt if the webbing

or hardware is damaged.

Do not latch the seat belt into the

buckles of other seats.

NEVER unfasten the seat belt

while driving. This may cause loss

of vehicle control resulting in an

accident.

Make sure there is nothing in the

buckle interfering with the seat

belt latch mechanism, because any

materials in the buckle can cause the

seat belt not to be fastened securely.

No modifications or additions

should be made by the user which

will either prohibit the seat belt

adjusting devices from operating to

remove slack, or prohibit the seat

belt assembly from being adjusted to

remove slack.

WARNING

Damaged seat belts and seat belt

assemblies will not operate properly.

Always replace:

Frayed, contaminated, or damaged

webbing.

Damaged hardware.

The entire seat belt assembly after it

has been worn in an accident, even

if damage to webbing or assembly is

not apparent.

Seat Belt Restraint System

WARNING

OHI038182L

Improperly positioned seat belts may

increase the risk of serious injury

in an accident. Take the following

precautions when adjusting the seat

belt:

Position the lap portion of the seat

belt as low as possible across your

hips, not on your waist, so that it

fits snugly. This allows your strong

pelvic bones to absorb the force of

the crash, reducing the chance of

internal injuries.

Position one arm under the shoulder

belt and the other over the belt, as

shown in the illustration.

Always position the shoulder belt

anchor into the locked position at the

appropriate height.

Never position the shoulder belt

across your neck or face.
