Introduction

A090000AEN

As with other vehicles of this type, failure
to operate this vehicle correctly may
result in loss of control, an accident or
vehicle rollover.

Specific design characteristics (higher
ground clearance, track, etc.) give this
vehicle a higher center of gravity than
other types of vehicles. In other words
they are not designed for cornering at the
same speeds as conventional 2-wheel
drive vehicles. Avoid sharp turns or
abrupt maneuvers.Again, failure to oper­ate this vehicle correctly may result in
loss of control, an accident or vehicle
rollover. Be sure to read the “Reducing

the risk of a rollover” driving guide­lines, in section 5 of this manual.

A030000AUN

No special break-in period is needed. By
following a f e w simple precautions for the
first 1,000 km (600 miles) you may add to
the performance, economy and life of
your vehicle.

• Do not race the engine.

• While driving, keep your engine speed
(rpm, or revolutions per minute)
between 2,000 rpm and 4,000 rpm.

• Do not maintain a single speed for long
periods of time, either fast or slow.
Varying engine speed is needed to
properly break-in the engine.

• Avoid hard stops, except in emergen­cies, to allow the brakes to seat prop­erly.

• Don’t let the engine idle longer than 3
minutes at one time.

• Don’t tow a trailer during the first 2,000
km (1,200 miles) of operation.

Safety features of your vehicle

WARNING — Driver’s seat

• Never attempt to adjust the seat
while the vehicle is moving. This
could result in loss of control,
and an accident causing death,
serious injury, or property dam­age.

• Do not allow anything to interfere
with the normal position of the
seatback. Storing items against a
seatback or in any other way
interfering with proper locking of
a seatback could result in serious
or fatal injury in a sudden stop or
collision.

• Always drive and ride with your
seatback upright and the lap por­tion of the seat belt snug and low
across the hips. This is the best
position to protect you in case of
an accident.

• In order to avoid unnecessary
and perhaps severe air bag
injuries, always sit as far back as
possible from the steering wheel
while maintaining comfortable
control of the vehicle.We recom­mend that your chest be at least
250 mm (10 inches) away from
the steering wheel.

WARNING — Uprighting

seat

When you return the seatback to its
upright position, hold the seatback
and return it slowly and be sure
there are no other occupants
around the seat. If the seatback is
returned without being held and
controlled, the back of the seat
could spring forward resulting in
accidental injury to a person struck
by the seatback.

WARNING — Loose objects

Loose objects in the driver’s foot
area could interfere with the opera­tion of the foot pedals, possibly
causing an accident. Do not place
anything under the front seats.

WARNING — Driver respon-

sibility for passengers

Riding in a vehicle with the seat­back reclined could lead to serious
or fatal injury in an accident. If a
seat is reclined during an accident,
the occupant’s hips may slide
under the lap portion of the seat
belt applying great force to the
unprotected abdomen. Serious or
fatal internal injuries could result.
The driver must advise the passen­ger to keep the seatback in an
upright position whenever the vehi­cle is in motion.

Forward and backward

To move the seat forward or backward:

1. Pull the seat slide adjustment lever up
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.

Adjust the seat before driving, and make
sure the seat is locked securely by trying
to move forward and backward without
using the lever. If the seat moves, it is not
locked properly.

(Continued)

• When resetting the seatback to
the upright position, make sure it
is securely latched by pushing it
forward and backwards.

• To avoid the possibility of burns,
do not remove the carpet in the
cargo area. Emission control
devices beneath this floor gener­ate high temperatures.

WARNING — Rear seatbacks

• The rear seatback must be
securely latched. If not, passen­gers and objects could be thrown
forward resulting in serious
injury or death in the event of a
sudden stop or collision.

• Luggage and other cargo should
be laid flat in the cargo area. If
objects are large, heavy, or must
be piled, they must be secured.
Under no circumstances should
cargo be piled higher than the
seatbacks. Failure to follow these
warnings could result in serious
injury or death in the event of a
sudden stop, collision or rollover.

• No passenger should ride in the
cargo area or sit or lie on folded
seatbacks while the vehicle is
moving. All passengers must be
properly seated in seats and
restrained properly while riding.

(Continued)

WARNING

After adjusting the seat, always
check that it is securely locked into
place by attempting to move the
seat forward or backward without
using the lock release lever.
Sudden or unexpected movement
of the driver’s seat could cause you
to lose control of the vehicle result­ing in an accident.

for the driver and front passenger, but
also helps protect the head and neck in
the event of a collision.

OAM039004 OPA039052OAM039003

Safety features of your vehicle

63

Forward and backward adjustment

The headrest may be adjusted forw ard to
3 different positions by pulling the head­rest forward to the desired detent. To
adjust the headrest to it’s furthest back­wards position, pull it fully forward to the
farthest position and release it.Adjust the
headrest so that it properly supports the
head and neck.

Adjusting the height up and down

To raise the headrest, pull it up to the
desired position (1). To lower the head­rest, push and hold the release button (2)
on the headrest support and lower the
headrest to the desired position (3).

WARNING

• For maximum effectiveness in
case of an accident, the headrest
should be adjusted so the middle
of the headrest is at the same
height of the center of gravity of
an occupant’s head. Generally,
the center of gravity of most peo­ple’s head is similar with the
height of the top of their eyes.
Also, adjust the headrest as close
to your head as possible. For this
reason, the use of a cushion that
holds the body away from the
seatback is not recommended.

• Do not operate the vehicle with
the headrests removed. Severe
injury to the occupants may
occur in the event of an accident.
Headrests may provide protec­tion against neck injuries when
properly adjusted.

• Do not adjust the headrest posi­tion of the driver’s seat while the
vehicle is in motion.

OAM039006OAM039005

Safety features of your vehicle

Removal

To remove the headrest, raise it as far as
it can go then press the release button
(1) while pulling the headrest up (2).

To reinstall the headrest, put the head­rest poles (3) into the holes while press­ing the release button (1). Then adjust it
to the appropriate height.

Active headrest (if equipped)

The active headrest is designed to move
forward and upward during a rear impact.
This helps to prevent the driver’s and
front passenger’s heads from moving
backward and thus helps minimize neck
injuries.

C010109AVQ-C1

Armrest (for driver’s seat, if equipped)

To use the armrest, swing down the arm­rest to the lowest position.

WARNING

Make sure the headrest locks in

WARNING — Seatback

pockets

Do not put heavy or sharp objects
in the seatback pockets. In an acci­dent they could come loose from
the pocket and injure vehicle occu­pants.

OUN028040/H

WARNING

The purpose of the fold-down rear
seatbacks is to allow you to carry
longer objects that could not be
accommodated in the cargo area.

Never allow passengers 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. Doing this could
allow cargo to slide forward and
cause injury or damage during sud­den stops.

WARNING

• For maximum effectiveness in
case of an accident, the headrest
should be adjusted so the middle
of the headrest is at the same
height of the center of gravity of
an occupant’s head. Generally,
the center of gravity of most peo­ple’s head is similar with the
height of the top of their eyes.
Also adjust the headrest as close
to your head as possible. For this
reason, the use of a cushion that
holds the body away from the
seatback is not recommended.

• Do not operate the vehicle with
the headrests removed. Severe
injury to an occupant may occur
in the event of an accident.
Headrests may provide protec­tion against severe neck injuries
when properly adjusted.

Seat belt restraint system

SEAT BELTS

WARNING

• For maximum restraint system
protection, the seat belts must
always be used whenever the
vehicle is moving.

• Seat belts are most effective
when seatbacks are in the
upright position.

• Children age 12 and under must
always be properly restrained in
the rear seat. Never allow chil­dren to ride in the front passen­ger seat. If a child over 12 must
be seated in the front seat,he/she
must be properly belted and the
seat should be moved as far back
as possible.

• Never wear the shoulder belt
under your arm or behind your
back. An improperly positioned
shoulder belt can cause serious
injuries in a crash. The shoulder
belt should be positioned midway
over your shoulder across your
collarbone.

(Continued)

WARNING

Seat belts are designed to bear
upon the bony structure of the
body, and should be worn low
across the front of the pelvis or the
pelvis, chest and shoulders, as
applicable; wearing the lap section
of the belt across the abdominal
area must be avoided.

Seat belts should be adjusted as
firmly as possible, consistent with
comfort, to provide the protection
for which they have been designed.

A slack belt will greatly reduce the
protection afforded to the wearer.

(Continued)

(Continued)
Care should be taken to avoid con-

tamination of the webbing with pol­ishes, oils and chemicals, and par­ticularly battery acid. Cleaning may
safely be carried out using mild
soap and water.The belt should be
replaced if webbing becomes
frayed, contaminated or damaged.
It is essential to replace the entire
assembly after it has been worn in
a severe impact even if damage to
the assembly is not obvious. Belts
should not be worn with straps
twisted. Each belt assembly must
only be used by one occupant; it is
dangerous to put a belt around a
child being carried on the occu­pant’s lap.

WARNING

No modifications or additions
should be made by the user which
will either prevent the seat belt
adjusting devices from operating to
remove slack, or prevent the seat
belt assembly from being adjusted
to remove slack.

(Continued)

• Avoid wearing twisted seat belts.
A twisted belt can’t do its job
well. In a collision, it could even
cut into you. Be sure the belt
webbing is straight and not twist­ed.

• Be careful not to damage the belt
webbing or hardware. If the belt
webbing or hardware is dam­aged, replace it.

Seat belts — Front passenger and rear
seat 3-point system with combination
locking retractor

To fasten your seat belt:

Combination retractor type seat belts are
installed in the rear seat positions to help
accommodate the installation of child
restraint systems. Although a combina­tion retractor is also installed in the front
passenger seat position, it is strongly
recommended that children always be
seated in the rear seat. NEVER place
any infant restraint system in the front
seat of the vehicle.

This type of seat belt combines the fea­tures of both an emergency locking
retractor seat belt and an automatic lock­ing retractor seat belt.To f asten y our seat
belt, pull it out of the retractor and insert
the metal tab into the buckle. There will
be an audible «click» when the tab locks
into the buckle. When not securing a
child restraint, the seat belt operates in
the same way as the driver’s seat belt
(Emergency Locking Retractor Type). It
automatically adjusts to the proper length
only after the lap belt portion of the seat
belt is adjusted manually so that it fits
snugly around your hips.

When the seat belt is fully extended from
the retractor to allow the installation of a
child restraint system, the seat belt oper­ation changes to allow the belt to retract,
but not to extend (Automatic Locking
Retractor Type). Refer to “Using a child
restraint system” in this section.

✽✽

NOTICE

Although the combination retractor
provides the same level of protection for
seated passengers in either emergency
or automatic locking modes, it is recom­mended that seated passengers use the
emergency locking feature for improved
convenience. The automatic locking
function is intended to facilitate child
restraint installation. To convert from
the automatic locking feature to the
emergency locking operation mode,
allow the unbuckled seat belt to fully
retract.

B200A02NF

WARNING

You should place the lap belt por­tion as low as possible and snugly
across your hips,not on your waist.
If the lap belt is located too high on
your waist, it may increase the
chance of injury in the event of a
collision. Both arms should not be
under or over the belt. Rather, one
should be over and the other under ,
as shown in the illustration.

Never wear the seat belt under the
arm that is near the door.
