Before Driving
Driving Preparation
Check the following items before you start driving.
• Make sure there are no obstructions on th e windows, door mirrors, exterior 
lights, or other parts of the vehicle.
u Remove any frost, snow, or ice.
u Remove any snow on the roof, as this can slip down and obstruct your field of 
vision while driving. If frozen solid , remove ice once it has softened.
u When removing ice from around the wheel s, be sure not to damage the wheel 
or wheel components.
• Make sure the hood is securely closed.
u If the hood opens while driving, your front view will be blocked.
• Make sure the tires are in good condition.
u Check air pressure, check for damage and excessive wear.
2 Checking and Maintaining Tires  P. 587
•Make sure there are no people or ob jects behind or around the vehicle.
u There are blind spots from the inside.
■Exterior Checks1Exterior Checks
NOTICE
When doors are frozen s hut, use warm water around 
the door edges to melt any ice. Do not try to force 
them open, as this can damage the rubber trim 
around the doors. When done, wipe dry to avoid 
further freezing.
Do not pour warm water  into the key cylinder.
You will be unable to insert the key if the water 
freezes in the hole.
Heat from the engine  and exhaust can ignite 
flammable material s left under the hood, causing a 
fire. If you’ve parked y our vehicle for an extended 
period, inspect and remove  any debris that may have 
collected, such as dried grass and leaves that have 
fallen or have been carried  in for use as a nest by a 
small animal.
Also check under the hood fo r leftover flammable 
materials after you or so meone else has performed 
maintenance on your vehicle.

Maximum Load Limit
The maximum load for your ve hicle is 1,173 lbs (532 kg).
The maximum load for your ve hicle is 1,340 lbs (608 kg).
See Tire and Loading Information  label attached to the driver’s 
doorjamb.
This figure includes the total weig ht of all occupants, cargo, and 
accessories, and the tongue load if you are towing a trailer.
Steps for Determining  Correct Load Limit -
(1) Locate the statement “The comb ined weight of occupants and 
cargo should never exceed XXX kg or XXX lbs.” on your 
vehicle’s placard.
(2) Determine the combined weight of the driver and passengers 
that will be riding in your vehicle.
(3) Subtract the combined weight of the driver and passengers 
from XXX kg or XXX lbs.
1Maximum Load Limit
Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR):
The maximum allowable weight of the vehicle, all 
occupants, all a ccessories, all cargo, and the tongue 
load. 2 Specifications  P. 640
Gross Axle Weight Rating (GAWR):
The maximum allowable weight of the vehicle axle. 2 Specifications  P. 640
3WARNING
Overloading or improper loading 
can affect handling and stability 
and cause a crash in which you 
can be hurt or killed.
Follow all load limits and other 
loading guidelines in this manual.

(4) The resulting figure equals the available amount of cargo and 
luggage load capacity. For example, if the “XXX” amount 
equals 1,400 lbs. and there will be five 150 lb. passengers in 
your vehicle, the amount of av ailable cargo and luggage load 
capacity is 650 lbs.
(1,400 - 750 (5 x 150) = 650 lbs.)
(5) Determine the combined weight  of luggage and cargo being 
loaded on the vehicle. That we ight may not safely exceed the 
available cargo and luggage load capacity calculated in step 4.
(6) If your vehicle will be towing a tra iler, load from your trailer will 
be transferred to your vehicl e. Consult this manual to 
determine how this reduces the available cargo and luggage 
load capacity of your vehicle.

Rating (GAWR). Both are on a label on the driver’s doorjamb.
