 Information regarding the installation of ADR and provision of information

Installation of ADR (Accident Data

Recorder) and provision of information
This vehicle has an ADR (Accident Data
Recorder).
The ADR (Accident Data Recorder) is a device
that can record and check the driving information
of the vehicle (vehicle speed and operation status
of brake pedal and acceleration pedal, etc.)
for a certain period of time before and after an
accident, such as a car crash.
The ADR (Accident Data Recorder) helps to
better understand an accident situation.

 Precautions for the reduction of non-crash incidents

Warning A part of your body may get stuck or hit and get seriously injured when opening and closing the doors. Caution should be taken.

yy When you open and close the doors, a part of your body such as your finger or head may get
stuck or hit and get seriously injured. Open and close the doors after ensuring that no part of
your body is stuck or hit.

yy When you open or close the trunk (tail gate), a part of your body such as your finger or head
may get stuck or hit and get injured. Open or close the trunk after ensuring safety.
yy The trunk (tail gate) is raised or lowered automatically at below or over a certain level. Always
take caution to avoid your face or head from getting hit or your hand from getting stuck.

yy Close the windows after checking that other passengers’ hands or heads are away from
the windows. This is especially important for children, who may get a serious injury, such as
suffocation if their head gets stuck.
yy When you pull the switch continuously to raise the window at a position where something is
pinched first without operating the one touch auto close function, the anti-pinch function will not
operate.
yy Especially when a part of a child’s body is on the window, a certain amount of force (resistance)
is not applied to the window, so the anti-pinch function may not operate. Make sure to check
before closing the windows.

The bio-diesel fuel is made by reacting

vegetable oil extracted from beans, rapeseed,

the diesel engine as its physical and chemical
characteristics are similar to those of the diesel
fuel. This is considered to be alternative energy

 Diesel fuel in winter
On an extremely cold day, paraffin, one of the
chemicals in diesel fuel, may separate from
the diesel fuel. This separation makes starting
the engine difficult. During the winter season,
Kerosene is added to diesel in some markets to
1
prevent the paraffin separation and secure stable
flow of the fuel through the fuel filter. The amount
of added Kerosene into diesel can vary by
location and their average winter temperatures.
Therefore, to ensure an easy start on a cold day,
park your vehicle inside of a garage. If possible,
fill up the fuel tank after each driving to prevent
ice from forming inside of the fuel system.

Caution

yy Change engine oil and the fuel filter as

scheduled. Contaminated engine oil will
lose its viscosity, clog the fuel filter and
oil filter and cause difficulties starting the
engine.
yy Do not add any additives other than
the genuine fuel for better startability
at owner’s disposal. The additive may
decrease the lubricating ability of the
internal fuel system; the additive may have
a different flashing point. This will damage
the fuel system or produce an excessive
exhaust fume.

weight and trailer ball weight. Gross trailer weight is the weight of the trailer plus
all cargo in it.
You can measure gross trailer weight by putting the fully loaded trailer on a
vehicle scale.
Trailer ball weight is the downward force exerted on the hitch by the trailer
coupler at its normal towing height. This weight can be measured using a
bathroom scale.
The weight of your loaded trailer (gross trailer weight) should never exceed the
specified values.
The permissible trailer loads are valid for several gradients from 6.8% to 12.6%
according to engine power applied.
When the trailer has been coupled, the permissible rear axle load for the fully
loaded towing vehicle (including occupants) must not be exceeded.

and the tires may be damaged.
yy If a tire has been impacted by a stone

immediately.
yy Do not mix the tires and wheels installed

tires and wheels. Doing so may affect the
driving stability of the vehicle, causing an
accident.
yy Check the status of the emergency tire

yy Be sure to check and add the tire pressure
before driving the vehicle for a long
period of time or at a high speed. Driving
the vehicle at a high speed with low tire
pressure may cause the tires to burst due
to the standing wave effect, resulting in a
risk such as a rollover.
