FOR EMERGENCIES
If the vehicle breaks down
EN40B-Dc
If the vehicle breaks down on the road,
move it to the shoulder and use the
hazard warning flashers.
If the engine stops/fails
Vehicle operation and control are affected
if the engine stops. Before moving the ve-
hicle to a safe area, be aware of the fol-
lowing.
(1) The brake booster becomes inopera-
tive and the pedal effort will increase.
Press down the brake pedal harder
than usual.
(2) For vehicles with power steering,
since the power steering pump is no
longer operative, the steering wheel
feels heavy when turning it. Turn the
wheel with more effort than usual.
Operation under adverse
driving conditions
EI43APD
If your vehicle is stuck: in sand,
mud or snow
If the vehicle becomes stuck in snow,
sand, or mud, it can often be moved a
rocking motion. Move the selector lever
alternately between the “L” (LOW) and “R”
(REVERSE) position (with manual trans-
mission, between 1st and Reverse), while
applying slight pressure to the accelerator
pedal.
Avoid racing the engine or spinning the
wheels. Prolonged efforts to free a stuck
vehicle may result in overheating and
transmission failure. Allow the engine to
idle for a few minutes to let the transmis-
sion cool between rocking attempts.
If the vehicle remains stuck after several
rocking attempts, seek other assistance.
WARNINGWhen attempting to rock your vehi-
cle out of a stuck position, be sure
that the area around the vehicle is
clear of people and physical objects.
The rocking motion may cause the
vehicle to suddenly launch forward
or backward, causing injury or dam-
age to nearby people or objects.
On 2WD models, it is recommended to
start the vehicle with parking brake par-
tially, but not completely, applied by
slightly pulling the parking brake lever. Af-
ter the vehicle has become free, do not
forget to release the parking brake.
NOTE
Depress the accelerator pedal gradually
when starting the vehicle.

FOR EMERGENCIES
WARNING(1) Be sure to observe the connect-
ing sequence of ➀ → ➁ → ➂ → ➃.
(2) Make sure that the connection ➃
is made to the engine proper. If
the connection is made directly
to the negative side of the bat-
tery, the inflammable gases gen-
erated from the battery might
catch fire and explode.
(3) When connecting the jumper ca-
ble, do not connect the positive
(+) cable to the negative (–) ter-
minal. Otherwise sparks might
cause explosion of the battery.
WARNING(1) Charging the battery while it is
installed in the vehicle might
cause the battery to catch fire
and explode. Or damage to the
vehicle could result. If it has to
be charged in that condition for
unavoidable reasons, discon-
nect the vehicle negative (–) ter-
minal connected to the battery.
(2) Keep sparks, cigarettes and
flames away from the battery be-
cause the battery may produce
an explosion.
(3) Use adequate ventilation when
charging or using the battery in
an enclosed space.
(4) Remove all the caps before
charging the battery.
(5) Electrolyte is corrosive diluted
sulphuric acid.
If electrolyte (battery acid)
comes into contact with your
hands, eyes, clothes, etc. or the
painted surface of you vehicle, it
should be thoroughly flushed
with water. If electrolyte gets in
your eyes, flush them with water
immediately and thoroughly,
and get prompt medical atten-
tion.CAUTION(1) Use care not to get the jumper
cable caught in the cooling fan
or other rotating parts in the en-
gine compartment.
(2) Use the proper cables suitable
for the battery size.
Otherwise heat damage to the
cables could result.
(3) Check the jumper cables for
damage and corrosion before
use.
6. Start the engine in the vehicle which
has the booster battery, let the engine
idle a few minutes, then start the en-
gine in the vehicle with the discharged
battery.
CAUTIONKeep the engine of the vehicle giving
assistance running.
