Driving and Operating

173

The Certification/Tire label may also
show the maximum weights for the
front and rear axles, called the Gross
Axle Weight Rating (GAWR). To find out
the actual loads on the front and rear
axles, weigh the vehicle at a weigh
station. Your dealer can help with this.
Be sure to spread the load equally on
both sides of the centerline.

Caution

Overloading the vehicle may cause
damage. Repairs would not be covered by
the vehicle warranty. Do not overload the
vehicle.

Warning

Things you put inside the vehicle can
strike and injure people in a sudden
stop or turn, or in a crash.

.

Put things in the cargo area of the
vehicle. Try to spread the weight
evenly.

(Continued)

Warning (Continued)

.

Never stack heavier things, like
suitcases, inside the vehicle so
that some of them are above the
tops of the seats.

.

Do not leave an unsecured child
restraint in the vehicle.

.

When you carry something inside
the vehicle, secure it whenever
you can.

.

Do not leave a seat folded down
unless you need to.

Starting and Operating

New Vehicle Break-In

Caution

The vehicle does not need an elaborate
break-in. But it will perform better in the
long run if you follow these guidelines:

(Continued)

Caution (Continued)

.

Do not drive at any one constant
speed, fast or slow, for the first
805 km (500 mi). Do not make
full-throttle starts. Avoid downshifting
to brake or slow the vehicle.

.

Avoid making hard stops for the first
322 km (200 mi) or so. During this
time the new brake linings are not yet
broken in. Hard stops with new linings
can mean premature wear and earlier
replacement. Follow this breaking-in
guideline every time you get new
brake linings.

Following break-in, engine speed and load
can be gradually increased.
