Driving Manual transaxle • Transmission is placed in N (Neutral). • Your maximum towing distance is unlimited. Never use a tow bar that attaches to the bumper when you tow your vehicle. You could damage the bumper and cause an accident. LUGGAGE RACK (if equipped) The maximum load is 100 kg (220 lb) on the luggage rack structure. The load must be placed directly on the luggage rack. The vehicle's roof panel is not designed to carry a load. When loading the luggage rack, it is recommended to evenly distribute the load, as well as maintain a low center of gravity. Ensure that the load is securely fastened. Driving with items on the luggage rack will result in a deterioration in fuel economy. When rack is loaded, check tightness of rear adjusting thumbwheel before driving. Recheck tightness of rear thumbwheel at each refueling stop if rack is loaded. 165
