stop in a saf e place to change it.
Drive slowly along the shoulder until
you get to an exit or an area to stop
that is far away from the traffic lanes.Park the vehicle on f irm, level, and
non-slippery ground. Put the
transmission in Park. Apply the
parking brake.Open the trunk. Raise the trunk

Diagnosing why the engine  won’t
start  falls into two areas,  depending
on  what  you hear  when  you turn  the
ignition  switch to the  START  (III)
position:
If the  headlights  dim noticeably  or
go  out  when  you try to start  the
engine,  either the battery  is
discharged  or the  connections  are
corroded.  Check the condition  of
the  12 volt  battery  and terminal
connections  (see page  ). You
canthentryjumpstartingthe
vehicle  from a booster  battery
(see  page  ).
You 
hear  nothing,  or almost
nothing.  The engine’s  starter
motor  does not operate  at all,  or
operates  very slowly.
You  can hear  the starter  motor
operating  normally, or the  starter
motor  sounds  like it is  spinning
faster  than  normal,  but the engine
does  not start  up and  run. Wh
en you  turn  the ignition  switch to
the  START  (III) position,  you do not
hear  the normal  noise of the  engine
trying  to start.  You may  hear  a
clicking  sound, a series  of clicks,  or
nothing  at all.
Check  these things:
Check  the transmission  interlock.
The  transmission  must be in Park
or  neutral  or the  starter  will not
operate. Turn 
the ignition  switch to the
START  (III) position.  If the
headlights  do not  dim,  check  the
condition  of the  fuses.  If the  fuses
areOK,thereisprobably
something  wrong with the
electrical  circuit for the  ignition
switch  or starter  motor. You will
need  a qualified  technician  to
determine  the problem.  See
on  page  .
Turn  the ignition  switch to the  ON
(II)  position.  Turn on the
headlights,  and check  their
brightness.  If the  headlights  are
very  dim or do  not  come  on at all,
the  battery  is discharged.  See

Although this seems like a simple
procedure, you should take several
precautions.
To jump start your vehicle:
The numbers in the illustration show
you the order to connect the jumper
cables.Connect one jumper cable to the
positive ( ) terminal on your
battery. Connect the other end to
the positive ( ) terminal on the
booster battery.
You cannot start your vehicle by
pushing or pulling it. Open the hood, and check the
physical condition of the 12 volt
battery.
Turn of f all electrical accessories:
heater, A/C, climate control, audio
system, lights, etc. Put the
transmission in Park, and set the
parking brake.

BOOSTER BATTERY
A battery can explode if you do
not follow the correct procedure,
seriously injuring anyone
nearby.
Keep all sparks, open flames,
and smoking materials away
from the battery.If a battery sits in extreme cold, the
electrolyte inside can f reeze.
Attempting to jump start with a f rozen
battery can cause it to rupture.

The reading on the vehicle’s
temperature gauge should stay in
the midrange. If it climbs to the red
mark, you should determine the
reason (hot day, driving up a steep
hill, etc.).
When the current f uel mileage is
shownonthedisplay,the
temperature gauge will interrupt on
the display and blink for several
times if the coolant temperature
rises to 224°F (118°C) or more. At
the same time, the beeper sounds
once.
If your vehicle overheats, you should
take immediate action. The only
indicationmaybethetemperature
gauge climbing to or above the red
mark. Or you may see steam or
spray coming f rom under the hood.If you see steam and/or spray
coming f rom under the hood, turn
of f the engine. Wait until you see
no more signs of steam or spray,
then open the hood.
If you do not see steam or spray,
leave the engine running, and
watch the temperature gauge. If
the high heat is due to overloading,
the engine should start to cool
down almost immediately. If it
does, wait until the temperature
gauge reading comes down to the
midpoint, then continue driving.
If the temperature gauge stays at
the red mark, turn of f the engine.
Saf ely pull to the side of the road.
Put the transmission in Park, and
set the parking brake. Turn of f all
accessories, and turn on the
hazard warning lights.

Steam and spray from an
overheated engine can
seriously scald you.
Do not open the hood if steam
is coming out.
Driving with the temperature gauge
reading at the red mark can cause
serious damage to your engine.

If necessary,  add oil to bring  the
level  back  to the  full mark  on the
dipstick  (see page  ).
This 
indicator  should never
come  on when  the engine  is
running.  If it starts  flashing
or  stays  on, the  oil pressure  has
dropped  very low or lost  pressure.
Serious  engine damage  is possible,
and  you should  take immediate
action. The 
engine  running  generates  the oil
pressure.  When the Auto  Idle Stop  is
acti vated,  the engine  is stopped,  the
oil  pressu re is dropped,  and the low
oil  pressu re indicator  does not come
on.
Safely 
pull off the  road,  and shut
off  the  engine.  Turn on the  hazard
warning  lights.
Let  the vehicle  sit for  a minute.
Op en  the  hood,  and check  the oil
level  (see page  ). An  engine
very  low on oil can  lose  pressure
during  cornering  and other  driving
maneuvers.
Start  the engine  and watch  the oil
pressure  indicator.  If it does  not go
out  within  10 seconds,  turn off the
engine.  There is a m echanical
problem  that needs  to be  repaired
bef ore you can continue driving
(see on page
