You should take extreme care when
working on your vehicle to prevent
accidental injury. Here are a few
precautions that you should be
especially careful to observe:
Do not leave the engine running in
garages or other confined areas.
When the engine is running, keep
hands, clothing, tools, and other
objects away from the fan and water
pump belt. Even though the fan may
not be moving, it can automatically
turn on without warning. When it is necessary to do service
work with the engine running, make
sure that the parking brake is
applied fully and the transmission is
in Neutral.
Do not touch ignition wires or other
ignition system parts when starting
the engine or when the engine is
running, or you could receive an
electric shock.
Be careful not to touch a hot
engine, exhaust manifold and pipes,
muffler, radiator and water hoses.
Do not allow smoking, sparks, or
flames around gasoline or the
battery. Flammable fumes are
present.
Do not get under your vehicle if it
is supported only with the portable
jack provided in your vehicle.
Be careful not to cause accidental
short circuits between the positive
and negative battery terminals.
Keep used oil, coolant, and other
fluids away from children and pets.
Dispose of used fluids properly;
never pour them on the ground, into
sewers, etc.INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE9-1

INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE9-29To avoid harm to yourself or damage
to your vehicle or battery, follow the
jump starting instructions in the
EMERGENCY SERVICE section of this
manual if it is necessary to jump start
your vehicle.
The level of the battery solution must be
kept between the “MAX” and the “MIN” level
lines at all times. If the level is found to be
below the “MIN” level line, add distilled
water to the “MAX” level line. You should
periodically check the battery, battery
terminals, and battery hold-down bracket for
corrosion. Remove corrosion using a stiff
brush and ammonia mixed with water, or
baking soda mixed with water. After
removing corrosion, rinse with clean water.
If your vehicle is not going to be driven for
a month or longer, disconnect the cable from
the negative terminal of the battery to help
prevent discharge.

engine until these problems have been
corrected.
3) If you do not find a leak, carefully add
coolant to the reservoir and then the
radiator, if necessary. (Refer to “ENGINE
COOLANT” in the “INSPECTION AND
MAINTENANCE” section.)
It is dangerous to remove the radiator
cap when the water temperature is
high, because scalding fluid and
steam may be blown out under
pressure. The cap should only be
taken off when the coolant
temperature has lowered.
To help prevent personal injury, keep
hands, tools and clothing away from
the engine cooling fan and air-
conditioner fan (if equipped). These
electric fans can automatically turn on
without warning.

1) Turn off the air conditioner, if equipped.
2) Take the vehicle to a safe place and
park.
3) Let the engine run at normal idle speed
for a few minutes until engine coolant
temperature warning light goes off.
If you see or hear escaping steam,
stop the vehicle in a safe place and
immediately turn off the engine to let
it cool. Do not open the bonnet when
steam is present. When the steam can
no longer be seen or heard, open the
hood to see if the coolant is still
boiling. If it is, you must wait until it
stops boiling before you proceed.
If the engine coolant temperature warning
light does not goes off:
1) Turn off the engine and check that the
water pump belt and pulleys are not
damaged or slipping. If any abnormality
is found, correct it.
2) Check the coolant level in the reservoir.
If it is found to be lower than the “LOW”
line, look for leaks at the radiator, water
pump, and radiator and heater hoses. If
you locate any leaks that may have
caused the overheating, do not run the
