These advantages come at some cost. Because your vehicle is taller and rides higher off the ground, it has a highcentre of gravity. This means your vehicle can tip or roll over if you make abrupt turns. Utility vehicles have asignificantly higher rollover rate than other types of vehicles. In a rollover crash, an unbelted person is significantlymore likely to die than a person wearing a seat belt. As a reminder, make sure you and your passengers always wearseat belts.
For information on how to reduce the risk of rollover, read ‘‘Driving Guidelines’’ on page of this manual and thesection on page . Failure to operate this vehicle correctly might result in loss of control or an
accident.
In many countries, the law prohibits off-road driving, e.g. driving in forests, trailblazing, etc. Please check your locallaws and regulations before commencing any off-road driving activity.
Your vehicle has higher ground clearance than a passenger vehicle designed for use only on paved roads. Higherground clearance has many advantages for off-road driving. It allows you to travel over bumps, obstacles, and roughterrain. It also provides good visibility so you can anticipate problems earlier.

You’ll find many safetyrecommendations throughout thissection, and throughout this manual.The following recommendations arethe ones we consider to be the mostimportant.
While airbags can save lives, theycan cause serious or fatal injuries tooccupants who sit too close to them,or are not properly restrained.Infants, young children, and shortadults are at the greatest risk. Besure to follow all instructions andwarnings in this manual.
Alcohol and driving don’t mix. Evenone drink can reduce your ability torespond to changing conditions, andyour reaction time gets worse withevery additional drink. So don’t drinkand drive, and don’t let your friendsdrink and drive, either.
A seat belt is your best protection inall types of collisions. Airbags aredesigned to supplement seat belts,not replace them. So even thoughyour vehicle is equipped with airbags,make sure you and your passengersalways wear your seat belts, andwear them properly (see page ).
Children age 12 and under shouldride properly restrained in a backseat, not the front seat. Infants andsmall children should be restrainedin a child restraint system. Largerchildren should use a booster seatand a lap/shoulder belt until theycan use the belt properly without abooster seat (see pages ).

Excessive speed is a major factor incrash injuries and deaths. Generally,the higher the speed, the greater therisk, but serious injuries can alsooccur at lower speeds. Never drivefaster than is safe for currentconditions, regardless of themaximum speed posted.
Having a tyre blowout or amechanical failure can be extremelyhazardous. To reduce the possibilityof such problems, check your tyrepressures and condition frequently,and perform all regularly scheduledmaintenance (see page , and forEU countries and South Africa, seethe separate service informationbooklet that came with your vehicle).

Your vehicle is equipped with seatbelts in all seating positions.
Seat belts are the single mosteffective safety device for adults andlarger children. (Infants and smallerchildren must be properly restrainedin child restraint systems.)
Not wearing a seat belt properlyincreases the chance of seriousinjury or death in a crash, eventhough your vehicle has airbags.
In most European Countries there isa law covering the use of seat belts.Please take time to familiarizeyourself with the legal requirementsof the countries in which you willdrive.
When properly worn, seat belts:
Your seat belt system also includesan indicator on the instrument paneland a beeper to remind you and yourpassengers to fasten your seat belts.
Keep you connected to the vehicleso you can take advantage of thevehicle’s built-in safety features.
Help protect you in almost everytype of crash, including:
frontal impactsside impactsrear impactsrollovers
Help keep you from being thrownagainst the inside of the vehicleand against other occupants.
Keep you from being thrown outof the vehicle.
Help keep you in a good positionshould the airbags ever deploy. Agood position reduces the risk ofinjury from an inflating airbag andallows you to get the bestadvantage from the airbag.

Seat Belts
Why Wear Seat Belts
Your Vehicle’s Safety Features
Driver and Passenger Safety 13
Not wearing a seat beltproperly increases thechance of serious injury ordeath in a crash, even thoughyour vehicle has airbags.
Be sure you and yourpassengers always wear seatbelts and wear them properly.
10/09/29 19:30:41 42SWAF30_018
Of course, seat belts cannotcompletely protect you in everycrash. But in most cases, seat beltscan reduce your risk of seriousinjury.
Always wear your seat belt, andmake sure you wear it properly.
Seat belts are designed to bear uponthe bony structure of the body, andshould be worn low across the frontof the pelvis or the pelvis, chest andshoulders, as applicable; wearing thelap section of the belt across theabdominal area must be avoided.
Seat belts should be adjusted asfirmly as possible, consistent withcomfort, to provide the protection forwhich they have been designed. Aslack belt will greatly reduce theprotection afforded to the wearer.
Belts should not be worn with strapstwisted.
Each belt assembly must only be usedby one occupant; it is dangerous toput a belt around a child being carriedon the occupant’s lap.

Remember, however, that no safetysystem can prevent all injuries ordeaths that can occur in a severecrash, even when seat belts areproperly worn and the airbags deploy.
To do their job, airbags mustinflate with tremendous force. Sowhile airbags help save lives, theycan cause minor injuries or moreserious or even fatal injuries ifoccupants are not properlyrestrained or sitting properly.
Airbags do not replace seat belts.
Airbags offer no protection in rearcollisions, or minor frontal or sidecollisions.
What you should do:

In addition to adjusting the seat, youcan adjust the steering wheel up anddown, and in and out (see page ).
If you cannot get far enough awayfrom the steering wheel and stillreach the controls, we recommendthat you investigate whether sometype of adaptive equipment may help.
Once a seat is adjusted correctly,rock it back and forth to make sure itis locked in position.
See page for how to adjust afront seat (power adjustment) andpage for a manual adjustment.
Adjust the driver’s seat-back to acomfortable, upright position,leaving ample space between yourchest and the airbag cover in thecentre of the steering wheel.

Adjust the driver’s head restraint sothe centre of the back of your headrests against the centre of therestraint.
Have passengers adjust their headrestraints properly as well. Tallerpersons should adjust their restraintas high as possible.
Reclining a seat-back so that theshoulder part of the belt no longerrests against the occupant’s chestreduces the protective capability ofthe belt. It also increases the chanceof sliding under the belt in a crashand being seriously injured. Thefarther a seat-back is reclined, thegreater the risk of injury.

After all occupants have adjustedtheir seats and head restraints, andput on their seat belts, it is veryimportant that they continue to situpright, well back in their seats, withtheir feet on the floor, until thevehicle is safely parked and theengine is off.
This could causevery serious injuries in a crash.
If a seat belt does not seem to workas it should, it may not protect theoccupant in a crash.
Using a seatbelt that is not working properly canresult in serious injury or death.Have your dealer check the belt assoon as possible.
See page for additionalinformation about your seat beltsand how to take care of them.
If a front passenger leans sidewaysand his head is in the deploymentpath of the side airbag, an inflatingside airbag can strike the passengerwith enough force to very seriouslyinjure him.
In addition, an occupant who is out ofposition in the front seat can beseriously or fatally injured in a crashby striking interior parts of thevehicle or being struck by aninflating front airbag.
Sitting improperly can increase thechance of injury during a crash. Forexample, if an occupant slouches,lies down, turns sideways, sitsforward, leans forward or sideways,or puts one or both feet up, thechance of injury during a crash isgreatly increased.

For safety, you should check thecondition of your seat belts regularly.
If a seat belt is worn during a crash,it must be replaced by the dealer. Abelt that has been worn during acrash may not provide the same levelof protection in a subsequent crash.Pull each belt out fully, and look for
frays, cuts, burns, and wear. Checkthat the latches work smoothly andthe belts retract easily. If a belt doesnot retract easily, cleaning the beltmay correct the problem (see page
). Any belt that is not in goodcondition or working properly willnot provide good protection andshould be replaced as soon aspossible.
The dealer should also inspect theanchors for damage and replacethem if needed. If the automatic seatbelt tensioners activate during acrash, they must be replaced.509
It is essential to replacethe entire assembly after it has beenworn in a severe impact even if damageto the assembly is not obvious.
Care should be taken toavoid contamination of the webbing withpolishes, oils and chemicals, andparticularly battery acid. Cleaning maysafely be carried out using mild soap andwater. The belt should be replaced ifwebbing becomes frayed, contaminatedor damaged.
No modifications oradditions should be made by the userwhich will either prevent the seat beltadjusting devices from operating toremove slack, or prevent the seat beltassembly from being adjusted to removeslack.

If you ever have a moderate tosevere frontal collision, sensors willdetect the vehicle’s rapiddeceleration.
After inflating, the front airbagsimmediately deflate, so they won’tinterfere with the driver’s visibility,or the ability to steer or operateother controls.
If the rate of deceleration is highenough, the control unit will inflatethe driver’s and front passenger’sairbags, at the time and with theforce needed.
During a frontal crash, your seat beltrestrains your lower body and torso,and the front airbag helps protectyour head and chest.
Although both airbags normallyinflate within a split second of eachother, it is possible for only oneairbag to deploy.
This can happen if the severity of acollision is at the margin, orthreshold, that determines whetheror not the airbags will deploy. Insuch cases, the seat belt will providesufficient protection, and thesupplemental protection offered bythe airbag would be minimal.

The total time for inflation anddeflation is one-tenth of a second, sofast that most occupants are notaware that the airbags deployed untilthey see them lying in their laps.
After a crash, you may see whatlooks like smoke. This is actuallypowder from the airbag’s surface.Although the powder is not harmful,people with respiratory problemsmay experience some temporarydiscomfort. If this occurs, get out ofthe vehicle as soon as it is safe to doso.
Your front airbags are dual-stageairbags. This means they have twoinflation stages that can be ignitedsequentially or simultaneously,depending on crash severity.
In a crash, both stageswill ignite simultaneously to providethe quickest and greatest protection.
In a crash, one stage willignite first, then the second stagewill ignite a split second later. Thisprovides longer airbag inflation timewith a little less force.
Your front airbags are also dual-threshold airbags. Airbags with thisfeature have two deploymentthresholds that depend on whethersensors detect the occupant iswearing a seat belt or not.
If the occupant’s belt is , theairbag will inflate at a slightly higherthreshold, when the airbag would beneeded to supplement the protectionprovided by the seat belt.
If the occupant’s belt is ,the airbag will deploy at a slightlylower threshold, because theoccupant would need extraprotection.

Children depend on adults to protectthem. However, despite their bestintentions, many adults do not knowhow to protect childpassengers.
If you have children, or ever need todrive with a child in your vehicle, besure to read this section. It beginswith important general guidelines,then presents special information forinfants, small children, and largerchildren.
Each year, many children are injuredor killed in vehicle crashes becausethey are either unrestrained or notproperly restrained. In fact, trafficcollisions are the number one causeof death of children age 12 andunder.
To reduce the number of childdeaths and injuries, infants andchildren should be properlyrestrained when they ride in avehicle.

Children who areunrestrained or improperlyrestrained can be seriouslyinjured or killed in a crash.
Any child too small for a seatbelt should be properlyrestrained in an approvedchild restraint system. Alarger child should beproperly restrained with aseat belt and use a boosterseat if necessary.

Children who ride in back are lesslikely to be injured by strikinginterior vehicle parts during acollision or hard braking. Also,children cannot be injured by aninflating airbag when they ride in theback.
In most countries, child restraintsystems must meet thespecifications of the ECE 44regulation.
In many countries, the law requireschildren younger than 12 years ofage and less than 150 cm (60 in) inheight to be secured in an officiallyapproved and suitable child restraintsystem. In those countries, officiallyapproved and suitable child restraintsystems must therefore be used inorder to transport a child on anypassenger seat whatsoever. Pleasecheck your local legal requirements.
According to crash statistics,children of all ages and sizes aresafer when they are restrained in aback seat. It is recommended that allchildren age 12 and under beproperly restrained in a back seat.
Front airbags have been designed tohelp protect adults in a moderate tosevere frontal collision. To do this,the passenger’s front airbag is quitelarge, and it can inflate with enoughforce to cause very serious injuries.
If the airbag inflates, itcan hit the back of the child restraintsystem with enough force to kill orvery seriously injure an infant.

Many parents say they prefer to putan infant or a small child in the frontpassenger seat so they can watch thechild, or because the child requiresattention.
Placing a child in the front seatexposes the child to hazards in afrontal collision or a side impact, andpaying close attention to a childdistracts the driver from theimportant tasks of driving, placingboth of you at risk.
If a child requires close physicalattention or frequent visual contact,we strongly recommend that anotheradult ride with the child in the backseat. The back seat is far safer for achild than the front.
Your vehicle has a back seat wherechildren can be properly restrained.If you ever have to carry a group ofchildren, and a child must ride infront:
Place the largest child in the frontseat, provided the child is largeenough to wear the lap/shoulderbelt properly (see page ).
If you are not wearing aseat belt in a crash, you could bethrown forward and crush thechild against the dashboard or aseat-back. If you are wearing aseat belt, the child can be tornfrom your arms and be seriouslyhurt or killed.
During a crash, thebelt could press deep into the childand cause serious or fatal injuries.
If they do, theycould be very seriously injured in acrash.
Move the vehicle seat as far to therear as possible (see pages
and ).
Make sure the seat belt is properlypositioned and secured (see page
).
Have the child sit upright and wellback in the seat (see page ).

Even very youngchildren learn how to unlockvehicle doors, turn on the ignitionswitch, and open the tailgate,which can lead to accidental injuryor death.
‘‘Never let children kneel on seats orstand while the vehicle is in motion.The violent forces created duringemergency braking will cause thechildren to be thrown forward. Thechildren could be seriously injured orkilled.’’
If a child wraps a looseseat belt around their neck, theycan be seriously or fatally injured.(See pages and for how toactivate and deactivate thelockable retractor.)
This can preventchildren from accidentally fallingout (see page ).
Leaving children withoutadult supervision is illegal in somecountries, and can be veryhazardous.
For example, infants and smallchildren left in a vehicle on a hotday can die from heatstroke. Achild left alone with the key in theignition switch can accidentally setthe vehicle in motion, possiblyinjuring themselves or others.
Children who play in vehicles canaccidentally get trapped inside.Teach your children not to play inor around vehicles.

Use the main powerwindow switch to prevent childrenfrom opening the windows. Using thisfeature will prevent children fromplaying with the windows, whichcould expose them to hazards ordistract the driver (see page ).
Always take the ignitionkey with you whenever you leave thevehicle alone (with other occupants).

Keep vehicle keys/remotetransmitters out of the reach ofchildren.
Make sure any unused seat beltthat a child can reach is buckled,the lockable retractor is activated,and the belt is fully retracted andlocked.

An infant must be properlyrestrained in a rear-facing, recliningchild restraint system until the childreaches the restraint system maker’sweight or height limit for therestraint system, and the child is atleast one year old.
A rearward facing child restraintsystem can be placed in any seatingposition in the back seat, but not inthe front.
Only a rearward facing childrestraint system provides propersupport for a baby’s head, neck andback.
Two types of restraints may be used:a restraint system designedexclusively for infants, or aconvertible restraint system used inthe rearward facing, reclining mode.
For EU countries, refer to pagefor the recommended child

If placed facing forward, aninfant could be very seriously injuredduring a frontal collision.
For EU countries, an approvedrearward facing child restraintsystem should be placed in anyseating position in the back seat (seepage ).
If the passenger’s front airbaginflates, it can hit the back of therestraint with enough force to kill orseriously injure an infant.

As required by E.C.E Regulation No. 94;When properly installed, a rearwardfacing child restraint system mayprevent the driver or a frontpassenger from moving their seat asfar back as recommended, or fromlocking their seat-back in the desiredposition.
In either situation, we stronglyrecommend that you install the childrestraint system directly behind thefront passenger seat, move the seatas far forward as needed, and leave itunoccupied. Or you may wish to geta smaller rearward facing childrestraint system.
If the passenger’s front airbaginflates, it can hit the rearwardfacing child restraint system withgreat force. The rearward facingchild restraint system can bedislodged or struck with enoughforce to cause very serious injury tothe infant.

A child one year of age or older whoalso meets the minimum size andweight requirements will be allowedto transition from a rearward-facingchild restraint system to a frontfacing child restraint system. Knowthe requirements where you aredriving and follow the child restraintsystem’s instructions.
We strongly recommend placing afront facing child restraint system ina back seat, not the front.
If the vehicle seatis too far forward, or the child’s headis thrown forward during a collision,an inflating airbag can strike thechild with enough force to causevery serious or fatal injuries.
Many experts recommend use of arearward-facing child restraintsystem up to age two, if the child’sheight and weight are appropriatefor a rearward-facing child restraintsystem.
Of the different restraint systemsavailable, we recommend those thathave a five-point harness system asshown.
We also recommend that a smallchild uses the child restraint systemas long as possible, until the childreaches the weight or height limitfor the restraint system.

In mostcountries, child restraint systemsmust meet the specifications ofthe ECE 44 regulation. Look forthe approval mark on the systemand the manufacturer’s statementof compliance on the box.
Whatever type of child restraint youchoose, to provide proper protection,a child restraint system should meetthree requirements:
The manufacturer of the vehicledoes not assume any responsibilityfor damage which would be causedby a defect inherent in therecommended child restraint system.
When buying a child restraintsystem, you need to choose either aconventional child restraint system,or one designed for use with thelower anchorages and tethers.
We also recommend selecting alower anchorages system-compatiblechild restraint system with a rigid,rather than a flexible, anchor (seepage ).
In EU countries, a child restraintsystem with a flexible anchor is notavailable.
In seating positions and vehicles notequipped with lower anchorages, alower anchorages system-compatiblechild restraint system can beinstalled using a seat belt.
Conventional child restraint systemsmust be secured to a vehicle with aseat belt, whereas lower anchoragessystem-compatible child restraintsystems are secured by attaching therestraint to hardware built into eachrear seating position in the back seat.
Since lower anchorages system-compatible child restraint systemsare easier to install and reduce thepossibility of improper installation,we recommend selecting this style.

A child restraint system securedwith a seat belt should be installed asfirmly as possible. However, it doesnot need to be ‘‘rock solid.’’ Someside-to-side movement can beexpected and should not reduce thechild restraint system’s effectiveness.
Afterinstalling a child restraint system,push and pull the restraint systemforward and from side-to-side toverify that it is secure.
If the child restraint system is notsecure, try installing it in a differentseating position, or use a differentstyle of child restraint system thatcan be firmly secured.
After selecting a proper childrestraint system and a good place toinstall the restraint system, there arethree main steps in installing therestraint system:
All childrestraint systems must be securedto the vehicle with the lap part of alap/shoulder belt or with the loweranchorages system. A child whoserestraint system is not properlysecured to the vehicle can beendangered in a crash.
Make sure thechild is properly strapped in thechild restraint system according tothe child restraint system maker’sinstructions. A child who is notproperly secured in a childrestraint system can be seriouslyinjured in a crash.
If you use a lap/shoulder beltwithout an additional lockableretractor, be sure you install alocking clip on the seat belt (seepage ). For EU countries, refer to page
for the recommended childrestraint system.
The following pages provide therecommended child restraintsystems for EU countries andguidelines on how to properly installa child restraint system. A frontfacing child restraint system is usedin all examples, but the instructionsare the same for a rearward facingchild restraint system.

A child may continue using a boosterseat until the tops of their ears areeven with the top of the vehicle’s orbooster’s seat-back. A child of thisheight should be tall enough to usethe lap/shoulder belt without abooster seat.
Booster seats can be high-back orlow-back. Whichever style you select,make sure the booster seat meetsapproved safety standards (see page
) and that you follow the boosterseat maker’s instructions.
If a child who uses a booster seatmust ride in front, move the vehicleseat as far back as possible and besure the child is wearing the seatbelt properly.
A back-rest may be available for aspecific booster seat. Install theback-rest to the booster seat andadjust it to the vehicle seat accordingto the booster seat maker’sinstructions. Make sure the seat beltis properly routed through the guideat the shoulder of the back-rest andthe belt does not touch and cross thechild’s neck (see page ).
For EU countries, refer to pagefor the booster seat placement.56

The back seat is the safest place fora child of any age or size.
If the passenger’s front airbaginflates in a moderate to severefrontal collision, the airbag can causeserious injuries to a child who isunrestrained, improperly restrained,sitting too close to the airbag, or outof position.
Of course, children vary widely. Andwhile age may be one indicator ofwhen a child can safely ride in front,there are other important factors youshould consider.
To safely ride in front, a child mustbe able to follow the rules, includingsitting properly, and wearing the seatbelt properly throughout a ride.
If you decide that a child can safelyride up front, be sure to:
Carefully read the owner’s manual,and make sure you understand allseat belt instructions and all safetyinformation.
Move the vehicle seat to the rear-most position.
Have the child sit up straight, backagainst the seat, and feet on ornear the floor.
Check that the child’s seat belt isproperly and securely positioned.
It is recommended that all childrenage 12 and under be properlyrestrained in the back seat.
Physically, a child must be largeenough for the lap/shoulder belt toproperly fit (see pages and ). Ifthe seat belt does not fit properly,with or without the child sitting on abooster seat, the child should not sitin front.
Remind the child not to leantoward the door.
A side airbag also poses risks. If anypart of a larger child’s body is in thepath of a deploying side airbag, thechild could receive possibly seriousinjuries. Supervise the child. Even a mature
child sometimes needs to bereminded to fasten the seat belt orsit properly.

This could resultin serious neck injuries during acrash.
This couldcause very serious injuries duringa crash. It also increases thechance that the child will slideunder the belt in a crash and beinjured.
If they do, theycould be very seriously injured in acrash.
Devices intended toimprove a child’s comfort orreposition the shoulder part of aseat belt can make the belt lesseffective and increase the chanceof serious injury in a crash.
Additional Safety PrecautionsDo not let a child wear a seat beltacross the neck.
Do not let a child put the shoulderpart of a seat belt behind the backor under the arm.
Two children should never use thesame seat belt.

±This indicator displays the outsidetemperature in degrees Celsius.
The temperature sensor is in thefront bumper. Therefore, thetemperature reading can be affectedby heat reflection from the roadsurface, engine heat, and theexhaust from surrounding traffic.This can cause an incorrecttemperature reading when yourspeed is under 30 km/h (19 mph).
The sensor delays the display updateuntil it reaches the correct outsidetemperature. This may take severalminutes.
If the outside temperature isincorrectly displayed, you can adjustit by up to 3°C warmer or cooler(see page ).
The temperature must bestabilized before doing thisprocedure.
In certain weather conditions,temperature readings near freezingcould mean that ice is forming on theroad surface. You will also see acaution symbol ‘‘ ’’ on the multi-information display.

Do not use ACC under theseconditions:
If the vehicle ahead of you slowsdown suddenly or another vehiclecuts in front of your vehicle, ACCalerts you by sounding a beeper anddisplaying a symbol ‘‘ ’’ (a‘‘BRAKE’’ message depending on thecustomize setting) on the multi-information display.
The ACC radar sensor in the frontgrille can detect and monitor thedistance of a vehicle up to 100meters (328 feet) ahead of yourvehicle.

When you must slow down andspeed up repeatedly.
In heavy traffic.
In poor visibility.
When you enter a toll gate,interchange, service area, parkingarea, etc. In these areas, there isno vehicle ahead of you, and ACCwould still try to accelerate to yourset speed.
As with any system, there are limitsto ACC. Inappropriate use of ACCcan result in a serious accident. Usethe brake pedal whenever necessary,and always keep a safe distancebetween your vehicle and othervehicles.
When the vehicle ahead of you slowsdown or speeds up, ACC senses thechange in distance and compensatesby accelerating or braking yourvehicle to reach the cruising speedyou previously set. The distancebetween vehicles is based on yourspeed: the faster you go, the longerthe distance will be; the slower yougo, the shorter it will be.

When a vehicle ahead is within ACCrange and going slower than your setspeed
When there is no vehicle ahead withinACC range
If the vehicle ahead of you is goingslower than your set speed, yourvehicle will slow down to the speedof that vehicle. Your vehicle will thenfollow at a constant distance until thevehicle ahead changes speed again.
Your vehicle will maintain a setcruising speed.
In bad weather (rain, fog, snow,etc.)
On slippery roads (for example,roads covered with ice or snow).

Improper use of ACC can leadto a crash.
Use ACC only whentravelling on openmotorways in good weather.
10/09/29 20:24:14 42SWAF30_308
When a vehicle ahead is within ACCrange and going at a steady speed
If the vehicle ahead of you changeslanes, ACC no longer tracks it. Yourvehicle will then return to your setspeed.
If the vehicle ahead of you slowsdown abruptly, or if another vehiclecuts in front of you, a beeper soundsand a symbol ‘‘ ’’ or a‘‘BRAKE’’ message appears on themulti-information display to warnyou.
Your vehicle follows the vehicleahead of it, keeping a constantdistance. ACC will not keep yourvehicle at a constant distance if thevehicle ahead of you goes out ofrange of your set speed: above 180km/h (112 mph) or below 30 km/h(20 mph).
In this case, decelerate your vehicleby pressing the brake pedal, andkeep an appropriate distance fromthe vehicle ahead.
When the brakes are automaticallyapplied, the system may make somenoise. However, it is not amalfunction.

On vehicles with manual transmissionWith the ACC system set, eithershift up or shift down indicatorcomes on to show you theappropriate timing to shift to ahigher or lower gear for better fueleconomy (see page ).
When the ACC system is activated,this function is not available.
The shift down indicator will comeon appropriately according to thedeceleration to prevent the enginefrom stalling.
If the engine speed goes to below1,000 rpm, the ACC will also becancelled.
To protect the engine from damage,never drive with the tachometerreading in the red zone.
If you ignore either shift up or shiftdown indication, the ACC will becancelled after about 10 seconds. Forinformation on automatic ACCcancellation and resuming the ACC,see page .
Instead of showing the best timing toshift up or down, either indicatorcomes on to indicate the shiftingpoint of the engine performance limit,corresponding to the gear which youselect. Shifting up or down whenprompted by the shift up or downindicator allows the engine to runand accelerate smoothly. This helpsto keep the ACC operation.
The shift up indicator will come onwhen the engine speed reaches nearthe tachometer’s red zone (about5,500 rpm on petrol models, andabout 4,200 rpm on diesel models).
At 6,000 rpm on petrol models, and4,500 rpm on diesel models, the ACCwill be deactivated. The ACC will becancelled when the engine speedgoes into the tachometer’s red zone.

All engines consume oil as part oftheir normal operation, therefore,the engine oil level must be checkedregularly, for example whenrefuelling. Always check the oilbefore a long journey.
The amount of oil consumeddepends on how the vehicle is drivenand the climatic and road conditionsencountered. The rate of oilconsumption can be up to 1 litre per1,000 km/625 miles. Consumption islikely to be higher when the engineis new.
Make sure the engine is warmed upand the vehicle is parked on levelground. Turn off the engine and waitapproximately 3 minutes beforechecking the oil level.
Do not press the engine coverforcibly. This may damage theengine cover and component parts.

The build-up of snow or mud onyour vehicle’s underside addsweight and rolling resistance.Frequent cleaning helps your fueleconomy and reduces the chanceof corrosion.
Drive moderately. Rapidacceleration, abrupt cornering,and hard braking use more fuel.
Always drive in the highest gearpossible.
Shift up and shift down indicatorson the instrument panel show thebest timing to shift to a higher orlower gear, so you will keep theengine operating in its mosteconomical range.
Try to maintain a constant speed.Every time you slow down andspeed up, your vehicle uses extrafuel. If equipped, use the cruisecontrol or adaptive cruise control(ACC) when appropriate.
Combine several short trips intoone.
The air conditioning puts an extraload on the engine which makes ituse more fuel. Use the fresh-airventilation when possible.

Your vehicle has higher groundclearance that allows you to travelover bumps, obstacles, and roughterrain. It also provides goodvisibility so you can anticipateproblems earlier.
Because your vehicle rides higheroff the ground, it has a high centreof gravity that can cause it to rollover if you make abrupt turns. Utilityvehicles have a significantly higherroll over rate than other types ofvehicles.
To prevent rollovers or loss ofcontrol:
Take corners at slower speedsthan you would with a passengervehicle.
Avoid sharp turns and abruptmanoeuvres whenever possible.
Do not modify your vehicle in anyway that would raise the centre ofgravity.
Do not carry heavy luggage on theroof.
Your vehicle is equipped with a four-wheel drive (4WD) system. Whenthe system senses a loss of front-wheel traction, it automaticallytransfers some power to the rearwheels. This gives you bettertraction and mobility.
You still need to exercise the samecare when accelerating, steering, andbraking that you would in a two-wheel drive vehicle.
See page for off-road drivingguidelines.

To avoid the possibility of damagingthe turbocharger bearings throughinadequate lubrication, ALWAYSallow the engine to idle for 10seconds before turning off theengine.
The engine must not be run abovefast idle speed until the oil pressurewarning indicator goes off. This willensure that the engine andturbocharger bearings are properlylubricated before being run atnormal driving speeds.
In the interests of fuel economy, it isadvisable to start driving straightaway, remembering that harshacceleration or labouring the enginebefore the normal operatingtemperature has been reached candamage the engine.
Without touching the acceleratorpedal, turn the ignition key to theSTART (III) position, and releasethe key as soon as the engine isrunning. If the engine does notstart right away, do not hold thekey in START (III) for more than15 seconds at a time (20 secondsin cold weather). Pause for at least20 seconds before trying again.
In very cold climates the batterycharging and oil pressure indicatorsmay take several seconds to go off.Similarly, engine cranking times willalso increase.
The immobilizer system protectsyour vehicle from theft. If animproperly coded key (or otherdevice) is used, the engine’s fuelsystem is disabled. See
on page .You may hear some noise near thefuel tank (located under the rearseat) for a while after you turn theignition switch to the ON (II)position. This is normal: it is thefuel system priming automatically.

The manual transmission issynchronized in all forward gears forsmooth operation. It has a lockout soyou cannot accidentally shift fromany forward gear to reverse whilethe vehicle is moving at a certainspeed (see page ).
Come to a full stop before you shiftinto reverse. You can damage thetransmission by trying to shift intoreverse with the vehicle moving.Push down the clutch pedal, andpause for a few seconds beforeshifting into reverse, or shift into oneof the forward gears for a moment.This stops the gears so they won’t‘‘grind.’’
When shifting up or down, makesure you push the clutch pedal downall the way, shift to the next gear,and let the pedal up gradually. Whenyou are not shifting, do not rest yourfoot on the clutch pedal. This cancause excessive clutch wear.

The shift indicator light may be usedas a guide to help you change gearwhen you would like to drive toachieve better fuel efficiency.
Either shift up or shift downindicator will come on at the besttime to shift to a higher or lowergear for better fuel economy. Youcan achieve better fuel economy byaccelerating and decelerating slowly,and shifting when prompted by the
shift up or down indicator.
The shift down indicator promptsyou to shift to a lower gear accordingto your acceleration when you areclimbing a hill or for fasteraccelerating on a level road.
This indicator will not prompt todownshift to first gear. It is up to youto downshift to first gear to increaseengine braking. Avoid sudden enginebraking.
Road and traffic conditions mayrequire you to shift at times otherthan those indicated.
If there is a problem with the shift upor down indication system, both ofthe shift up and shift down indicatorswill not come on. Have your vehicleinspected by your dealer.
With the ACC system activated,either shift up or shift downindicator also comes on to show youthe shifting point of the engineperformance limit, corresponding tothe gear which you select. For moreinformation, see page .305

The hydraulic system that operatesthe brakes has two separate circuits.Each circuit works diagonally acrossthe vehicle (the left-front brake isconnected with the right-rear brake,etc.). If one circuit should develop aproblem, you will still have brakingat two wheels.
If the brake pads need replacing, youwill hear a distinctive, metallicscreeching sound when you applythe brake pedal. If you do not havethe brake pads replaced, they willscreech all the time. It is normal forthe brakes to occasionally squeal orsqueak when you apply them.
All four brakes have audible brakewear indicators.
Your vehicle is equipped with discbrakes at all four wheels. A powerassist helps reduce the effort neededon the brake pedal. The emergencybrake assist system increases thestopping force when you depress thebrake pedal hard in an emergencysituation. The anti-lock brake system(ABS) helps you retain steeringcontrol when braking very hard.
Resting your foot on the pedal keepsthe brakes applied lightly, builds upheat, reduces their effectiveness andreduces brake pad life. In addition,fuel economy can be reduced. It alsokeeps your brake lights on all thetime, confusing drivers behind you.
When the brake pedal assist isactivated, the e-pretensioners tightenthe front seat belts (see page ).
Constant application of the brakeswhen going down a long hill buildsup heat and reduces theireffectiveness. Use the engine toassist the brakes by taking your footoff the accelerator and downshiftingto a lower gear.
Check the brakes after drivingthrough deep water. Apply thebrakes moderately to see if they feelnormal. If not, apply them gently andfrequently until they do. Be extracautious in your driving.

The anti-lock brake system (ABS)helps prevent the wheels fromlocking up, and helps you retainsteering control by pumping thebrakes rapidly, much faster than aperson can do it.
The electronic brake distribution(EBD) system, which is part of theABS, also balances the front-to-rearbraking distribution according tovehicle loading.
If the ABS indicator comes on, theanti-lock function of the brakingsystem has shut down. The brakesstill work like a conventional system,but without anti-lock. You shouldhave your dealer inspect your vehicleas soon as possible.
Let the ABS work for you by alwayskeeping firm, steady pressure on thebrake pedal. This is sometimesreferred to as ‘‘stomp and steer.’’
You will feel a pulsation in the brakepedal when the ABS activates, andyou may hear some noise. This isnormal: it is the ABS rapidlypumping the brakes. On drypavement, you will need to press onthe brake pedal very hard before theABS activates. However, you mayfeel the ABS activate immediately ifyou are trying to stop on snow or ice.
If the ABS indicator comes on whiledriving, test the brakes as shown onpage .
You will also see the symbol ‘‘ ’’or this symbol with a ‘‘CHECKSYSTEM’’ message on the multi-information display.

The CMBS consists of a radarsensor in the front grille, a brakeactuator in the engine compartment,an indicator on the instrument panel,seat belt e-pretensioners on the frontseats, and an on/off switch on thedashboard.
The collision mitigation brakingsystem (CMBS) can assist the driverwhen there is a possibility ofcolliding with the vehicle in front ofyours. It is designed to reduce thespeed of your vehicle before anunavoidable collision occurs and, ifpossible, to alert you to a potentialcollision while there is time for thedriver to prevent it. Here is a briefdescription of what the CMBS cando:
When your speed is above 15km/h (10 mph), the CMBS radarsensor in the front grille can sensea vehicle ahead of you. When yourvehicle gets too close to thevehicle ahead of you, the systemmay activate a warning beep,causing automatic application ofthe brakes, and causing thee-pretensioners to tighten the
front seat belts (see page ).
When the CMBS activates, the brakelights also come on.
The CMBS does not activate if thespeed difference between yourvehicle and the vehicle ahead ofyou is less than 15 km/h (10 mph).CMBS may also not activate if youturn the steering wheel to avoidthe collision.

If the front emblem or the radarsensor ever needs to be removed,take your vehicle to a dealer.
Certain conditions may cause theradar aim to be temporarily out ofproper range, such as the followingtwo examples:
Your vehicle is tilted because of aheavy load in the rear or frommodifications to the suspension.Do not overload your vehicle (seeCarrying Luggage on page ),and do not make any modificationsto the suspension (see Accessoriesand Modifications on page ).
The tyres are not correctlymaintained. Always make sure thetyre pressures are correct (seepage ), and that the tyres arethe correct size and in goodcondition (see Tyres on page ).
Do not allow anything to impact theradar sensor or the emblem. If eitherof these parts receives a strongimpact, turn off the system bypressing the CMBS off switch, andhave your vehicle checked by adealer. If the front grille ever needsto be repaired, consult a dealer first.
When the CMBS is on, the radarsensor constantly scans for vehiclesdirectly ahead of you. This meansthat driving on a road with a few orno vehicles could cause the symbol‘‘ ’’ to appear on the multi-information display. This is normaland not a cause for concern. 365

The vehicle stability assist (VSA)system helps to stabilize the vehicleduring cornering if the vehicle turnsmore or less than desired. It alsoassists you in maintaining tractionwhile accelerating on loose orslippery road surfaces. It does thisby regulating the engine’s output andby selectively applying the brakes.
When VSA activates, you may noticethat the engine does not respond tothe accelerator in the same way itdoes at other times. There may alsobe some noise from the VSAhydraulic system. You will also seethe VSA activation indicator blink.
The VSA system cannot enhance thevehicle’s driving stability in allsituations and does not control yourvehicle’s entire braking system. It isstill your responsibility to drive andcorner at reasonable speeds and toleave a sufficient margin of safety.
When VSA activates, you will see theVSA Activation indicator blink.
The VSA system indicator (see page) comes on and stays on when
there is a problem with the VSAsystem. The VSA activation indicatorwill also come on.
If the VSA system indicator comeson while driving, pull to the side ofthe road when it is safe, and turn offthe engine. Reset the system byrestarting the engine. If the VSAsystem indicator stays on or comesback on while driving, have the VSAsystem inspected by your dealer.
When the VSA system indicatorcomes on, you will also see thesymbol ‘‘ ’’ or this symbol with a‘‘CHECK SYSTEM’’ message on themulti-information display.
Without VSA, your vehicle will havenormal braking and cornering ability,but it will not have VSA traction andstability enhancement.

In certain unusual conditions whenyour vehicle gets stuck in shallowmud or fresh snow, it may be easierto free it with the VSA temporarilyswitched off. When the VSA systemis off, the traction control system isalso off. You should only attempt tofree your vehicle with the VSA off ifyou are not able to free it when the
VSA is on.
Immediately after freeing yourvehicle, be sure to switch the VSA onagain. We do not recommend drivingyour vehicle with the VSA andtraction control systems switched off.
Driving with varying tyre or wheelsizes may cause the VSA tomalfunction. When replacing tyres,make sure they are of the same sizeand type as your original tyres (seepage ).
If you install winter tyres, make surethey are the same size as those thatwere originally supplied with yourvehicle. Exercise the same cautionduring winter driving as you would ifyour vehicle was not equipped withVSA.

Your vehicle is equipped with thedeflation warning system that turnson every time you start the engine.
The system monitors each wheel’srotation speed while driving over 25km/h (15 mph). If it detects adifference, the system diagnoses apossibility of a low tyre pressure.This causes the deflation warningsystem indicator in the instrumentpanel to come on.
This system cannot measure eachtyre pressure directly. You mustmanually check all tyre pressures(including the spare tyre) monthlywhen cold. Refer to page for tyreinflation guidelines.
This indicator has two functions:
When this indicator is on, one ofyour vehicle’s tyres may besignificantly underinflated. Youwill also see the symbol ‘‘ ’’ orthis symbol with a ‘‘CHECK TYREPRESSURE’’ message on themulti-information display.
You should stop and check yourtyres as soon as possible, andinflate them to the properpressures as indicated on thevehicle’s tyre information label onthe driver’s doorjamb.
If you think you can safely drive ashort distance to a service station,proceed slowly, and inflate thetyres to the recommendedpressures. Then initialise thedeflation warning system (seepage ).
If the tyre is flat, or if the tyrepressure is too low to continuedriving, replace the tyre with thecompact spare tyre (see page ).On models with a tyre repair kit, seepage to use it.
When you restart the vehicle withthe compact spare tyre, do notinitialise the system. After replacingthe compact spare tyre with thespecified regular tyre, initialise thedeflation warning system. If yourvehicle has Honda tyre repair kit,initialise the system after the flattyre is repaired with it.

If you cannot make the deflationwarning system indicator and thesymbol/message on the multi-information go out after inflating thetyres to the specified values andinitialising the system, have yourdealer check the system as soon aspossible.
Driving on a significantly underinflated tyre causes the tyre tooverheat and can lead to tyre failure.Underinflation also reduces fuelefficiency and tyre tread life, andmay affect the vehicle’s handling andstopping ability.
Because tyre pressure varies bytemperature and other conditions,the deflation warning systemindicator may come on unexpectedly,or come on with a delay.
If there is a problem with thedeflation warning system, thisindicator begins to flash. It stopsflashing after approximately 1minute, then stays on. You willalso see the symbol ‘‘ ’’ or thissymbol with a ‘‘CHECK SYSTEM’’message on the multi-informationdisplay.
If this happens, the deflationwarning system is off and cannotdetect a low tyre pressure. Havethe system checked by your dealeras soon as possible.
This indicator may also come onalong with the ABS or VSA systemindicator as there may be a problemwith the ABS or VSA system. If thishappens, have the vehicle checkedby your dealer as soon as possible.
To activate the deflation warningsystem properly:
You should initialise the deflationwarning system once the deflationwarning system indicator comeson, or after adjusting the tyrepressures or rotating tyres (seepage ).
If the deflation warning system is notinitialised appropriately, the systemmay malfunction and the indicatormay come on unexpectedly or notcome on when needed.

Rain, fog, and snow conditions re-quire a different driving techniquebecause of reduced traction andvisibility. Keep your vehicle well-maintained and exercise greatercaution when you need to drive inbad weather. The cruise control (onsome types) should not be used inthese conditions.
Always driveslower than you would in dryweather. It takes your vehicle longerto react, even in conditions that mayseem just barely damp. Applysmooth, even pressure to all thecontrols. Abrupt steering wheelmovements or sudden, hard appli-cation of the brakes can cause loss ofcontrol in wet weather. Be extracautious for the first few kilometers(miles) of driving while you adjust tothe change in driving conditions.This is especially true in snow. Aperson can forget some snow-drivingtechniques during the summermonths. Practice is needed to relearnthose skills.
Exercise extra caution when drivingin rain after a long dry spell. Aftermonths of dry weather, the firstrains bring oil to the surface of theroadway, making it slippery.

- -Being able to seeclearly in all directions and beingvisible to other drivers are importantin all weather conditions. This ismore difficult in bad weather. To beseen more clearly during daylighthours, turn on your headlights.
Be very cautious when passing, orbeing passed by other vehicles. Thespray from large vehicles reducesyour visibility, and the wind buffetingcan cause you to lose control.
Check your tyresfrequently for wear and properpressure. Both are important inpreventing ‘‘aquaplaning’’ (loss oftraction on a wet surface). In thewinter, mount snow tyres on all fourwheels for the best handling.
Watch road conditions carefully,they can change from moment tomoment. Wet leaves can be as slip-pery as ice. ‘‘Clear’’ roads can havepatches of ice. Driving conditionscan be very hazardous when theoutside temperature is near freezing.The road surface can becomecovered with areas of water puddlesmixed with areas of ice, so yourtraction can change without warning.
Be careful when downshifting. Iftraction is low, you can lock up thedrive wheels for a moment and causea skid.
Inspect your windscreen wipers andwashers frequently. Keep the wind-screen washer reservoir full of theproper fluid. Have the windscreenwiper blades replaced if they start tostreak the windscreen or leave partsunwiped. Use the demister and airconditioning to keep the windowsfrom fogging up on the inside (seepages and ).232 239

Exceeding any load limit orimproperly loading yourvehicle and trailer can causea crash in which you can beseriously hurt or killed.
Check the loading of yourvehicle and trailer carefullybefore starting to drive.
10/09/29 20:44:11 42SWAF30_416
The maximum permissible weightmust not exceed the specified limitas shown on page .
The maximum permissible weightis total weight of the vehicle,driver, passengers, luggage andtowbar.
The maximum towing weightmust not exceed the specified limitas shown on page .
The trailer nose load should neverexceed 100 kg (220 lbs). This isthe amount of weight the trailerputs on the towbar when it is fully-loaded. As a rule of thumb fortrailer weights of less than 1,000kg (2,200 lbs), the trailer nose loadshould be 10 percent of the totaltrailer package.
For example, if the trailer and itsload weigh 225 kg (500 lbs), thetrailer nose load should be 22.5 kg(50 lbs). Adjust trailer’s luggage tochange the trailer nose load. Startby putting approximately60 percent of the luggage towardthe front and 40 percent towardthe rear. With a trailer package ofmore than 1,000 kg (2,200 lbs),you may need to adjust theluggage weight toward the rear.Never load the trailer so the backis heavier than the front. Thistakes weight off your vehicle’srear axle and reduces traction.
This weight will be estimated onnormal driving below 1,000 meterselevation.
If you tow a trailer in mountainousconditions, remember to reduce10% of the combined vehicle andtrailer weights from the maximumtowing weight for every 1,000meters of elevation.
The combined vehicle and trailerweights are the maximumpermissible weight and trailerweight with everything in and onthe trailer.571

Any towbar used on your vehiclemust be properly bolted to theunderbody.
Refer to page for the towbarmounting points.
Always use safety chains when youtow a trailer. Make sure the chainsare secured to the trailer and towbar,and that they cross under the trailernose and can catch the trailer if itbecomes unhitched. Leave enoughslack to allow the trailer to turncorners easily, but do not let thechains drag on the ground.
Towing can require a variety ofequipment, depending on the size ofyour trailer, how it will be used, howmuch load you are towing, andwhere you tow.
Discuss your needs with your trailersales or rental agency, and follow theguidelines in this section. Also makesure that all equipment is properlyinstalled and maintained, and that itmeets the country’s regulationswhere you are driving.
Please consider that theinstallation of optionals (and trailernose load when towing a trailer)will reduce the loading capacity.
Towing a load that is too heavy canseriously affect your vehicle’shandling and performance. It canalso damage the engine anddrivetrain.
The best way to confirm that vehicleand trailer weights are within limitsis to have them checked at a publicscale.
Using a suitable scale or a specialtrailer nose load gauge, check thetotal weight, the weight at each axleand the trailer nose load the firsttime you set up a towing combination(a fully-loaded vehicle and trailer),then recheck the loads whenever theconditions change.

Do not ‘‘ride’’ the brakes, andremember, it will take longer to slowdown and stop when towing a trailer.
Driving on an uphill road of morethan 12% slope is not recommendedfor your vehicle.
We recommend that you tow atrailer on the roads recommended bythe trailer association.
If you must stop when facing uphill,use the foot brake or parking brake.Do not try to hold the vehicle inplace by pressing on the accelerator,as this can cause the automatictransmission to overheat.
Make sure to set the parking brakewhen starting off on an incline.
When climbing hills, closely watchyour temperature gauge. If it nearsthe red (Hot) mark, turn the airconditioning off, reduce speed and, ifnecessary, pull to the side of theroad to let the engine cool.
When driving down hills, reduceyour speed and always apply enginebraking by shifting down. If yourvehicle has a manual transmission,when going down a steep hill, usethe 3rd gear to provide greaterengine braking.
If your vehicle has an automatictransmission, when driving downhills, reduce your speed and use theD3 position. When going down asteep hill, use the 2nd position toprovide greater engine braking.
Make turns more slowly and widerthan normal. The trailer tracks asmaller arc than your vehicle, and itcan hit or run over something thevehicle misses. Allow more time anddistance for braking. Do not brake orturn suddenly as this could cause thetrailer to jackknife or turn over.

You should keep the engine idlingfor about 2 minutes before turningoff the ignition switch. (Idling theengine is prohibited in somecountries. Always follow the legalrequirements of the countries inwhich you will drive.)
Always drive slowly and havesomeone guide you when backing up.Grip the of the steering wheel,then turn the wheel to the left to getthe trailer to move to the left, andturn the wheel right to move thetrailer to the right.
Follow all normal precautions whenparking, including firmly setting theparking brake and putting thetransmission in Park (automatic) orin first or reverse (manual). Also,place wheel chocks at each of thetrailer’s tyres.
Crosswinds and air turbulencecaused by passing trucks can disruptyour steering and cause the trailer tosway. When being passed by a largevehicle, keep a constant speed, andsteer straight ahead. Do not try tomake quick steering or brakingcorrections.

Your vehicle is equipped with thetrailer stability assist function. Thisfunction works on the same sensorsas the vehicle stability assist (VSA)system. This function helps tostabilize the vehicle/trailercombination when the trailerseverely sways or oscillates. Formore information of the VSA system,see page .
If the function detects the vehicle/trailer instability, it checks if theswaying is caused by the trailer, andif the trailer swaying or oscillation isincreasing.
Under these conditions, trailerstability assist begins to stabilize thevehicle/trailer combination byreducing the vehicle speed. Thecontrol unit sends signals toselectively apply the brakes andregulate the engine output. Thebrake lights of your vehicle will beturned on automatically by thesystem even if you do not keep thepressure on the brake pedal.
Trailer stability assist cannot preventa loss of control. Always reduce thevehicle speed and steer firmly. Donot brake suddenly or make quicksteering motion. It could cause thetrailer to jackknife or turn over andthe system becomes ineffective.
Trailer stability assist will also beineffective while driving at highspeed or towing a trailer with a highcentre of gravity.
Trailer stability assist cannot preventswaying that can occur in crosswindsand in normal and emergencydriving manoeuvres. It helps only tostabilize the vehicle/trailercombination in these conditions,after the oscillation becomes severe.
When the brakes are applied, thetrailer’s brake lights come on alongwith the vehicle brake lights.
When the trailer stability assistactivates, you will see the VSAactivation indicator blink. There mayalso be some noise from the VSAhydraulic system.
Always obey the speed limits fortowing a trailer, see page .
The vehicle/trailer combination ismore affected by crosswinds,buffeting, and improper trailer noseload. These conditions can make thetrailer unstable, and cause it to sway.

The control unit monitors the VSAcircuitry and the braking system. Ifthere is a problem with the brakelighting system, the trailer stabilityassist function shuts down, and thesymbol ‘‘TSA ’’ or this symbol witha ‘‘CHECK SYSTEM’’ messageappears on the multi-informationdisplay.
If you see this message, have yourvehicle checked at your dealer assoon as possible.
In this case, your vehicle still has theVSA traction and stabilityenhancement, but it will not have thetrailer stability assist function.
If there is a problem with the VSAsystem, the VSA system and trailerstability assist function shut off, anda symbol ‘‘VSA’’ or this symbol witha ‘‘CHECK SYSTEM’’ message andthen a symbol ‘‘TSA ’’ or thissymbol with a ‘‘CHECK SYSTEM’’message appear on the multi-information display. The VSA systemand VSA activation indicators alsocome on (see page ).
The ABS indicator and the brakesystem indicator may also come onalong with the VSA system indicator.
If you see these warning indicators,have your vehicle checked at yourdealer as soon as possible.
If you turn off the VSA, the trailerstability assist function also shuts off.Press and hold the VSA off switchuntil you hear a beep (see page ).The VSA activation indicator comeson as a reminder. Press and hold theswitch again to turn the system on.
The function turns on every time youstart the engine along with the VSA,even if you turned it off the last timeyou drove the vehicle.402

Your vehicle has been designedprimarily for use on paved roads. Butits higher ground clearance allowsyou to occasionally travel on unpavedroads, such as campgrounds, picnicsites, and similar locations. It is notdesigned for trail-blazing, mountainclimbing, or other challenging off-road activities.
If you decide to drive on unpavedroads, you will find that it requiressomewhat different driving skills.Your vehicle will also handlesomewhat differently than it does onpaved roads. So be sure to read thisowner’s manual, pay special attentionto the precautions and tips in thissection, and get acquainted withyour vehicle before you leave thepaved roads.
In many countries, the law prohibitsoff-road driving, e.g. driving inforests, trailblazing, etc. Pleasecheck your local laws andregulations before commencing anyoff-road driving activity.

Driving 421
Improperly operating thisvehicle on or off pavementcan cause a crash or rolloverin which you and yourpassengers could beseriously injured or killed.
Follow all instructions andguidelines in this owner’smanual.Keep your speed low, anddon’t drive faster thanconditions permit.
10/09/29 20:46:05 42SWAF30_426
For better traction on all surfaces,accelerate slowly and gradually buildup speed. If you try to start too faston wet soil, mud, snow, or ice, youmight not have enough traction toget underway, and you may digyourself a hole. Starting with theshift lever in second (2) gear willhelp you have a smoother start onsnow or ice.
Keep in mind that you will usuallyneed more time and distance tobrake to a stop on unpaved surfaces.Avoid hard braking. Do not ‘‘pump’’the brakes; let the anti-lock brakingsystem pump them for you.
Before you leave the paved road, besure to do all scheduled maintenanceand service, and inspect your vehiclefor any problems. Pay specialattention to the condition of the tyres,and check the tyre pressures.
After you return to the paved road,carefully inspect your vehicle tomake sure there is no damage thatcould make driving it unsafe.Recheck the condition of the tyresand the tyre pressures.
The route presents limits (too steepor bumpy roads). You have limits(driving skill and comfort). And yourvehicle has limits (traction, stability,and power).
Driving off-road can be hazardous ifyou fail to recognize limits and takethe proper precautions.
To avoid loss of control or rollover,be sure to follow all precautions andrecommendations.
Be sure to store luggage properly,and do not exceed your vehicleluggage load limits (see pages
and ).
Whenever you drive, make sureyou and your passengers alwayswear seat belts.
Keep your speed low, and nevergo faster than the conditions allow.
It’s up to you to continually assessthe situation and drive within thelimits.

10/09/29 20:46:20 42SWAF30_427
Avoid driving on soft sand, deep mud,or other surfaces where you couldget stuck. If you do happen to getstuck because of inclement weatheror other conditions, choose a safeand appropriate course of action.
You should never use a jack to trygetting unstuck. A jack only workson firm, level ground. Also, yourvehicle could easily slip off the jackand hurt you or someone else.
Avoid driving through deep water. Ifyou encounter water in your route (asmall stream or large puddle, forexample), evaluate it carefully beforegoing ahead. Make sure it is shallow,flowing slowly, and has firm groundunderneath. If you are not sure ofthe depth or the ground, turn aroundand find another route.
Driving through deep water can alsodamage your vehicle. The water canget into the transmission anddifferential, diluting the lubricantand causing an eventual failure. Itcan also wash the grease out of thewheel bearings.
Debris in the road can damage yoursuspension or other components.Because your vehicle has a highcentre of gravity, driving over a largeobstacle, or allowing a wheel to dropinto a deep hole can cause yourvehicle to tip or roll over.
If you can’t clearly see all conditionsor obstacles on a slope, walk theslope before you drive on it. If youhave any doubt whether or not youcan safely drive on the slope, don’tdo it. Find another route.
If you are driving up a hill and findthat you cannot continue,
. Your vehicle could rollover. Slowly back down the hill,following the same route you took upthe hill.
do not try toturn around

If you spin the wheels excessivelytrying to get unstuck, you mayoverheat the components of the4-wheel drive system. If this happens,the 4-wheel drive system shuts offand only the front wheels receivepower. If this happens, stop andallow everything to cool down. The4-wheel drive system will work againafter its temperature drops.
If you slip the clutch for a long timewhile trying to get unstuck, you mayoverheat and damage it.

The headlights were properly aimedwhen your vehicle was new. If youregularly carry heavy items in theluggage area or pull a trailer,readjustment may be required.Adjustments should be done by yourdealer or another qualifiedtechnician.
The low beam headlight bulbs arehigh voltage discharge tube bulbs.High voltage can remain in thecircuit even with the light switch offand the key removed. Because ofthis, you should not attempt toexamine or change a low beamheadlight bulb yourself. If a lowbeam headlight bulb fails, take thevehicle to your dealer to have itreplaced.
Your vehicle is equipped with anautomatic headlight adjustingsystem that adjusts the vertical angleof the headlights (low beam)automatically. Refer to page formore information.
The vertical angle of the headlightscan be adjusted. For moreinformation, see page .
Your vehicle has halogen headlightbulbs. When replacing a bulb, handleit by its base, and protect the glassfrom contact with your skin or hardobjects. If you touch the glass, cleanit with denatured alcohol and a cleancloth.
Halogen headlight bulbs get very hotwhen lit. Oil, perspiration, or ascratch on the glass can cause thebulb to overheat and shatter.

Your vehicle’s air conditioning is asealed system. Any majormaintenance, such as recharging,should be done by a qualifiedtechnician. You can do a couple ofthings to make sure the airconditioning works efficiently.
Periodically check the engine’sradiator and air conditioningcondenser for leaves, insects, anddirt stuck to the front surface. Theseblock the air flow and reduce coolingefficiency. Use a light spray from ahose or a soft brush to remove them.
The condenser and radiator finsbend easily. Only use a low-pressurespray or soft-bristle brush to cleanthem.
Run the air conditioning at least oncea week during the cold weathermonths. Run it for at least 10minutes while you are driving at asteady speed with the engine atnormal operating temperature. Thiscirculates the lubricating oil con-tained in the refrigerant.
If the air conditioning does not get ascold as before, have your dealercheck the system. Recharge thesystem with Refrigerant HFC-134a(R-134a).
Whenever you have the airconditioning system serviced, makesure the service facility uses arefrigerant recycling system. Thissystem captures the refrigerant forreuse. Releasing refrigerant into theatmosphere can damage theenvironment.

To safely operate your vehicle, yourtyres must be the proper type andsize, in good condition with adequatetread, and correctly inflated.
The following pages give moredetailed information on how to takecare of your tyres and what to dowhen they need to be replaced.
Keeping the tyres properly inflatedprovides the best combination ofhandling, tread life, and ridingcomfort.
Underinflated tyres wear unevenly,adversely affect handling and fueleconomy, and are more likely tofail from being overheated.
Overinflated tyres can make yourvehicle ride more harshly, aremore prone to damage from roadhazards, and wear unevenly.
The deflation warning system willwarn you when a change in tyrerevolutions occurs due to a decreasein tyre pressure. See page formore information on the deflationwarning system.
Even though your vehicle isequipped with deflation warningsystem, we recommend that youvisually check your tyres every day.If you think a tyre might be low,check it immediately with a tyregauge. Then initialise the deflationwarning system (see page ).

Inflation Guidelines
Tyres
Maintenance486
Using tyres that areexcessively worn orimproperly inflated can causea crash in which you can beseriously hurt or killed.
Follow all instructions in thisowner’s manual regardingtyre inflation andmaintenance.
10/09/29 20:58:08 42SWAF30_491
Use a gauge to measure the airpressure in each tyre at least once amonth. Even tyres that are in goodcondition may lose 10 to 20 kPa (0.1to 0.2 kgf/cm , 1 to 2 psi) per month.Remember to check the spare tyre atthe same time.
Check the air pressure when thetyres are cold. This means thevehicle has been parked for at leastthree hours, or driven less than 1.6km (1 mile). Add or release air, ifneeded, to match the recommendedcold tyre pressures on the label onthe driver’s doorjamb.
If you check air pressures when thetyres are hot [driven for severalkilometers (miles)], you will seereadings 30 to 40 kPa (0.3 to 0.4kgf/cm , 4 to 6 psi) higher than thecold readings. This is normal. Do notlet air out to match therecommended cold air pressure. Thetyre will be underinflated.

Maintenance 487
10/09/29 20:58:14 42SWAF30_492
You should get your own tyrepressure gauge and use it wheneveryou check your tyre pressures. Thiswill make it easier for you to tell if apressure loss is due to a tyreproblem and not due to a variationbetween gauges.
While tubeless tyres have someability to self-seal if they arepunctured, you should look closelyfor punctures if a tyre starts losingpressure.
For convenience, the recommendedcold air pressures and tyre sizes areon a label on the driver’s doorjamb.
Every time you check inflation, youshould also examine the tyres fordamage, foreign objects, and wear.You should look for:
Bumps or bulges in the tread orside of the tyre. Replace the tyre ifyou find either of these conditions.
Cuts, splits, or cracks in the sideof the tyre. Replace the tyre if youcan see fabric or cord.
Excessive tread wear.Your tyres have wear indicatorsmolded into the tread. When thetread wears down, you will see aband 12.7 mm (1/2 inch) wide acrossthe tread. This shows there is lessthan 1.6 mm (1/16 inch) of tread lefton the tyre.
A tyre this worn gives very littletraction on wet roads. You shouldreplace the tyre if you can see threeor more tread wear indicators.

In addition to proper inflation,correct wheel alignment helps todecrease tyre wear. If you find a tyreis worn unevenly, have your dealercheck the wheel alignment.
Have your dealer check the tyres ifyou feel a consistent vibration whiledriving. A tyre should always berebalanced if it is removed from thewheel. When you have new tyresinstalled, make sure they arebalanced. This increases ridingcomfort and tyre life. For bestresults, have the installer perform adynamic balance.
Improper wheel weights can damageyour vehicle’s aluminium wheels.Use only genuine Honda wheelweights for balancing.
To help increase tyre life anddistribute wear more evenly, rotatethe tyres every 10,000 km (6,250miles). Move the tyres to thepositions shown in the illustrationseach time they are rotated. Theabove illustration shows how thetyres should be rotated on thevehicles equipped with a compactspare tyre or when the normal sparetyre is not included in the tyrerotation.

Replace your tyres with radial tyresof the same size, load range, speedrating, and maximum cold tyrepressure rating (as shown on thetyre’s sidewall).
Mixing radial and bias-ply tyres onyour vehicle can reduce brakingability, traction, and steeringaccuracy. Using tyres of a differentsize or construction can cause theABS, vehicle stability assist system(VSA) and deflation warning systemto work inconsistently.
The ABS, VSA system and deflationwarning system work by comparingthe speed of each wheel. Whenreplacing tyres, use the same sizeoriginally supplied with the vehicle.Tyre size and construction can affectwheel speed and may cause thesystem to activate.
It is best to replace all four tyres atthe same time. If that is not possibleor necessary, replace the two fronttyres or two rear tyres as a pair.Replacing just one tyre can seriouslyaffect your vehicle’s handling.
After rotating tyres, initialise thedeflation warning system to activateit properly (see page ).
If you ever replace a wheel, makesure that the wheel’s specificationsmatch those of the original wheels.Consult your dealer before replacingtyres.

Because of the limited winterqualification of summer tyres forwinter use we recommend the use ofwinter tyres (M S tyres) on snowyand icy roads. If M S tyres areinstalled, all four wheels should beequipped to insure safe driving. Useonly tyres of the same brand withthe same profile. Pay attention to thetyre size, load capacity and speedclass when buying.
The sizes of wheels and tyresinstalled on your vehicle varydepending on models.
See the tyre information label on thedriver’s doorjamb or ask your dealerfor information on the proper size ofthe tyres on your vehicle.
Install the winter tyres according tothe remarks in the registration paper.According to the EEC Directive fortyres, when winter tyres are used, itis necessary to affix a sticker withthe allowable max. speed of thewinter tyres clearly in the field ofview of the driver, if the designedmax. speed of vehicle is higher thanthe allowed max. speed of wintertyre.

If you store your vehicle for 1 year orlonger, have your dealer perform themaintenance inspections called for inthe 2 years/40,000 km (25,000 miles)maintenance schedule as soon asyou take it out of storage (see page
). The replacements called for inthe maintenance schedule are notneeded unless the vehicle hasactually reached that time ordistance.
When parking the vehicle for anextended period, wateraccumulates in the fuel systemand the engine will not start. Inthis case, water may need to bedrained off with the fuel filter (see
on page ).
Cover the vehicle with a‘‘breathable’’ cover, one madefrom a porous material such ascotton. Non-porous materials, suchas plastic sheeting, trap moisture,which can damage the paint.
If possible, periodically run theengine until it reaches fulloperating temperature (thecooling fans cycle on and offtwice). Preferably, do this once amonth. :

Frequent washing helps preserveyour vehicle’s beauty. Dirt and gritcan scratch the paint, while tree sapand bird droppings can permanentlyruin the finish.
Wash your vehicle in a shady area,not in direct sunlight. If the vehicle isparked in the sun, move it into theshade and let the exterior cool downbefore you start.
Only use the solvents and cleanersrecommended in this owner’smanual.
Chemical solvents and strongcleaners can damage the paint, metal,and plastic on your vehicle.
Rinse the vehicle thoroughly withcool water to remove loose dirt.
Fill a bucket with cool water. Mixin a product made especially forcar washing.
Wash the vehicle using water anddetergent solution and a soft-bristle brush, sponge, or soft cloth.Start at the top and work your waydown. Rinse frequently.
Check the body for road tar, treesap, etc. Remove these stains withtar remover or turpentine. Rinse itoff immediately so it does notharm the finish. Remember to re-wax these areas, even if the rest ofthe vehicle does not need waxing.
When you have washed and rinsedthe whole exterior, dry it with achamois or soft towel. Letting itair-dry will cause dulling and waterspots.
As you dry the vehicle, inspect it forchips and scratches that could allowcorrosion to start. Repair them withtouch-up paint (see page ).506

-Always wash and dry the wholevehicle before waxing it. You shouldwax your vehicle, including the metaltrim, whenever water sits on thesurface in large patches. It shouldform into beads or droplets afterwaxing.
You should use a quality liquid orpaste wax. Apply it according to theinstructions on the container. Ingeneral, there are two types ofproducts:
Waxes A wax coats the finish andprotects it from damage by exposureto sunlight, air pollution, etc. Youshould use a wax on your vehiclewhen it is new.
Polishes Polishes and cleaner/waxes can restore the shine to paintthat has oxidized and lost some of itsshine. They normally contain mildabrasives and solvents that removethe top layer of the finish. Youshould use a polish on your vehicle ifthe finish does not have its originalshine after using a wax.
Cleaning tar, insects, etc. withremovers also takes off the wax.Remember to re-wax those areas,even if the rest of the vehicle doesnot need waxing.
Clean your vehicle’s aluminium alloywheels as you do the rest of theexterior. Wash them with the samesolution, and rinse them thoroughly.
The wheels have a protectiveclearcoat that keeps the aluminiumfrom corroding and tarnishing. Usingharsh chemicals, including somecommercial wheel cleaners or stiffbrushes, can damage this clear-coat.Only use a mild detergent and softbrush or sponge to clean the wheels.

Vacuum the carpeting frequently toremove dirt. Ground-in dirt will makethe carpet wear out faster.Periodically shampoo the carpet tokeep it looking new. Use one of thefoam-type carpet cleaners on themarket. Follow the instructions thatcome with the cleaner, applying itwith a sponge or soft brush. Keepthe carpeting as dry as possible bynot adding water to the foam.
The driver’s floor mat that camewith your vehicle hooks over thefloor mat anchors. This keeps thefloor mat from sliding forward andpossibly interfering with the pedals.
If you remove the driver’s floor mat,make sure to re-anchor it when youput it back in your vehicle.

Two factors normally contribute tocausing corrosion in your vehicle:
Moisture trapped in body cavities.Dirt and road salt that collects inhollows on the underside of thecar stays damp, promotingcorrosion in that area.
Removal of paint and protectivecoatings from the exterior andunderside of the vehicle.
Many corrosion-preventive measuresare built into your vehicle. You canhelp keep your vehicle fromcorroding by performing somesimple periodic maintenance:
Repair chips and scratches in thepaint as soon as you discover them.
Inspect and clean out the drainholes in the bottom of the doorsand body.
Check the floor coverings fordampness. Carpeting and floormats may remain damp for a longtime, especially in winter. Thisdampness can eventually causethe floor panels to corrode.
Use a high-pressure spray to cleanthe underside of your vehicle. Thisis especially important in areasthat use road salt in winter. It isalso a good idea in humid climatesand areas subject to salty air. Becareful of the ABS wheel sensorsand wiring at each wheel.
Have the corrosion-preventivecoatings on the underside of yourvehicle inspected and repairedperiodically.

Do not run the engine inenclosed areas, or when thevehicle is supported by thejack.
Do not touch the aircompressor with handswithout protective clothing.Because it may be extremelyhot while operating.
Never use the air compressorfor 15 minutes or longer.When reusing, make sure thecompressor is cool to thetouch.
Do not use the aircompressor for any otherpurpose than inflating yourtyres.
10/09/29 21:05:06 42SWAF30_534
The power supply of the aircompressor is limited to yourvehicle’s 12 volt DC accessory socket.
Before using the air compressor,drive your vehicle to the roadshoulder and stop in a safe place thatis far away from the traffic lanes.
Remove the valve cap from a flattyre and securely connect the aircompressor hose to the valve.
Turn the ignition switch to theACCESSORY (I) position. Turn onthe air compressor switch andinflate the tyre to the specified airpressure. Check the tyre pressureby using the air pressure gauge onthe compressor.
Turn off the switch on the aircompressor before checking the airpressure.
Connect the power plug of the aircompressor to the socket of theaccessory power socket.
When the tyre is inflated tospecified air pressure, disconnectthe power plug from the accessorypower socket. Make sure not toleak the air from the tyre. Theninstall and tighten the valve capsecurely.

Diagnosing why the engine won’tstart falls into two areas, dependingon what you hear when you turn theignition switch to the START (III)position:
When you turn the ignition switch tothe START (III) position, you do nothear the normal noise of the enginetrying to start. You may hear aclicking sound, a series of clicks, ornothing at all.
You hear nothing, or almostnothing. The engine’s startermotor does not operate at all, oroperates very slowly.
You can hear the starter motoroperating normally, or the startermotor sounds like it is spinningfaster than normal, but the enginedoes not start up and run. Turn the ignition switch to the ON
(II) position. Turn on theheadlights, and check theirbrightness. If the headlights arevery dim or do not come on at all,the battery is discharged. See
on page .
Check these things:
Check the transmission interlock.With an automatic transmission, itmust be in Park or neutral, or thestarter will not operate.
Turn the ignition switch to theSTART (III) position. If theheadlights do not dim, check thecondition of the fuses. If the fusesare OK, there is probablysomething wrong with theelectrical circuit for the ignitionswitch or starter motor. You willneed a qualified technician todetermine the problem. See
on page .
If the headlights dim noticeably orgo out when you try to start theengine, either the battery isdischarged or the connections arecorroded. Check the condition of thebattery and terminal connections(see page ). You can then tryjump starting the vehicle from abooster battery (see page ).

After you have parked the vehiclefor an extended period or whenthe outside temperature becomesvery high, water accumulates inthe fuel system and the engine willnot start. In this case, you shoulddrain the water from the fuel filter(see page ).
Do you have fuel? Check the fuelgauge; the low fuel indicator maynot be working.
There may be an electricalproblem, such as no power to thefuel pump. Check all the fuses(see page ).
The fuel cutoff switch may beactivated. If the switch is activated,it must be reset before starting theengine (see page ).
In this case, the starter motor’sspeed sounds normal, or even fasterthan normal, when you turn theignition switch to the START (III)position, but the engine does not run.
Are you using the proper startingprocedure? Refer to
on page on petrolmodels and page on dieselmodels.
Are you using a properly codedkey? An improperly coded key willcause the immobilizer systemindicator in the instrument panelto blink rapidly (see page ).
If your vehicle runs out of fuel,priming the fuel system isrequired to restart the engine (seepage ).
After you have stored your vehiclefor an extended period, air mayhave entered the fuel system (see

Although this seems like a simpleprocedure, you should take severalprecautions.
Open the bonnet, and check thephysical condition of the battery.In very cold weather, check thecondition of the electrolyte. If itseems slushy or frozen, do not tryjump starting until it thaws.
If a battery sits in extreme cold, theelectrolyte inside can freeze.Attempting to jump start with afrozen battery can cause it to rupture.
To jump start your vehicle:
You cannot start your vehicle with anautomatic transmission by pushingor pulling it.
Turn off all the electricalaccessories: heater, A/C, climatecontrol, audio system, lights, etc.Put the transmission in neutral(M/T) or Park (A/T), and set theparking brake.

and on petrol models, andpages and on diesel models,or the diagram on the fuse box lid,which fuse or fuses control thatdevice. Check those fuses first, butcheck all the fuses before decidingthat a blown fuse is the cause.Replace any blown fuses, and checkif the device works. 3.

Look for a burned wire inside thefuse. If it is burned out, replace itwith one of the spare fuses of thesame rating or lower.
If you replace the blown fuse with aspare fuse that has a lower rating, itmight blow out again. This does notindicate that anything is wrong.Replace the fuse with one of thecorrect rating as soon as you can.
Check the smaller fuses in theunder-bonnet fuse box and all thefuses in the interior fuse box bypulling out each one with the fusepuller provided in the under-bonnet fuse box.
On petrol models, the fuse pulleris on the back of the primaryunder-bonnet fuse box cover.
If you cannot drive the vehiclewithout fixing the problem, and youdo not have a spare fuse, take a fuseof the same rating or a lower ratingfrom one of the other circuits. Makesure you can do without that circuittemporarily (such as the cigarettelighter).

Replacing a fuse with one that has ahigher rating greatly increases thechances of damaging the electricalsystem. If you do not have areplacement fuse with the properrating for the circuit, install one witha lower rating.
If the replacement fuse of thesame rating blows in a short time,there is probably a seriouselectrical problem with yourvehicle. Leave the blown fuse inthat circuit, and have your vehiclechecked by a qualified technician.
Your vehicle has spare fuses on theback of the under-bonnet fuse boxcover.

If your vehicle needs to be towed,call a professional towing service ororganization. Never tow your vehiclewith just a rope or chain. It is verydangerous.
If, due to damage, your vehicle mustbe towed with the front wheels onthe ground, do this:
The towtruck uses metal cables with hookson the ends. These hooks go aroundparts of the frame or suspension andthe cables lift that end of the vehicleoff the ground. Your vehicle’ssuspension and body can beseriously damaged.
The towtruck uses two pivoting arms that gounder the front tyres and lift themoff the ground. The rear tyresremain on the ground.
The operatorloads your vehicle on the back of atruck.
There are three popular types ofprofessional towing equipment.
Start the engine.
Shift the transmission to neutral.Leave the ignition switch in theACCESSORY (I) position so thesteering wheel does not lock.Release the parking brake.
Shift to the D position and hold for5 seconds, then to N.Turn off the engine.
Leave the ignition switch in theACCESSORY (I) position so thesteering wheel does not lock.Release the parking brake.
Improper towing preparation willdamage the transmission. Follow theabove procedure exactly. If youcannot shift the transmission or startthe engine (automatic transmission),your vehicle must be transportedwith the front wheels off the ground.
With the front wheels on the ground,it is best to tow the vehicle no fartherthan 80 km (50 miles), and keep thespeed below 55 km/h (35 mph).

The steering system can bedamaged if the steering wheel islocked. Leave the ignition switch inthe ACCESSORY (I) position, andmake sure the steering wheel turnsfreely before you begin towing.
If you decide to tow your vehiclewith all four wheels on the ground,make sure you use a properly-designed and attached tow bar.Prepare the vehicle for towing asdescribed above, and leave theignition switch in the ACCESSORY(I) position so the steering wheeldoes not lock. Make sure the radioand any electrical accessories areturned off so they do not run downthe battery.
Towing with only two tyres on theground will damage parts of the4WD system. It should betransported on a flat-bed truck ortrailer.
Trying to lift or tow your vehicle bythe bumpers will cause seriousdamage. The bumpers are notdesigned to support the vehicle’sweight.
Do not tie down the vehicle at anangle with which the towing cableshit against the vehicle’s frontbumper. To avoid your vehicle fromdamaging, protect the front bumperwith a tape.
The operator will loadyour vehicle on the back of a truck.Any other method of towing willdamage the drive system. When youcontact the towing agency, informthem a flat-bed is required.
On 4WD modelsThe only way you can safely towyour vehicle is with flat-bedequipment.

The three way catalytic convertermust operate at a high temperaturefor the chemical reactions to takeplace. It can set on fire anycombustible materials that comenear it. Park your vehicle away fromhigh grass, dry leaves, or otherflammables.
Always use unleaded petrol. Even asmall amount of leaded petrol cancontaminate the catalyst metals,making the three way catalyticconverter ineffective.

The DPF system requires no regularmaintenance. If you drive for longperiods at slow speeds, particulatematter (PM) will be accumulatedand the regeneration of DPF will berequired. The condition of theaccumulated PM will vary with thetype of diesel fuel. Always use therecommended diesel fuel in thisowner’s manual (see page ).
The PM will be burnt out andremoved from the DPF at aperiodically high temperature of thecatalytic converter while driving.While the PM is burnt, you maynotice some changes on theinstrument panel and the exhaustgas. You may notice some whitesmoke in the exhaust gas. Theaverage fuel consumption on themulti-information display will beincreased temporarily.
Your vehicle is equipped with thediesel particulate filter (DPF) systemto remove the particulate matter(PM) from the exhaust gas. TheDPF is installed in the catalyticconverter.

If you see this symbol or this symbolwith a ‘‘DPF REGENERATIONREQUIRED’’ message on the multi-information display while the engineis running, it means the dieselparticulate filter (DPF) should beregenerated to remove theaccumulated particulate matter (PM).
To regenerate the DPF, when trafficallows, maintain a vehicle speed of atleast 60 km/h (37 mph) and continueto drive until the symbol/messagegoes out (it may take about 15minutes, depending on drivingconditions). This will increase theexhaust temperature and help toburn and remove the PM from theDPF.
If you ignore this symbol/messageand continue driving, the systemwarning switches to the symbol/message of DPF (check system). Ifthis happens, take your vehicle to aHonda dealer as soon as possible tohave the DPF system checked.
