extended period could cause fire. If it does not pop
out by itself, we recommend you to have it checked.●Do not leave the cigarette lighter pushed in or insert

socket and result in poor retention of the lighter.●When the cigarette lighter socket is used as a power
source for an electric appliance, be sure that the
electric appliance operates at 12 V and has an elec-
tric capacity of 120 W or less. In addition, long use
of the electric appliance without running the engine
may run down the battery.

Before moving the vehicle to a safe area be aware of the fol-
lowing:
●The brake booster becomes inoperative and the pedal
effort will increase. Press down the brake pedal harder
than usual.

steering wheel feels heavy when turning it. Turn the wheel
with more effort than usual.
Emergency starting
E00800501216
If the engine cannot be started because the battery is weak or
dead, the battery from another vehicle can be used with jumper
cables to start the engine.
1. Get the vehicles close enough so the jumper cables can
reach, but be sure the vehicles aren’t touching each other.
If they are, it could cause a ground connection you don’t
want. The vehicle will not start, and the bad grounding
could damage the electrical systems.
WARNING
!●To start the engine by use of jumper cables from
another vehicle, perform the correct procedures
according to the instruction manual. Incorrect pro-
cedures could result in a fire or explosion or damage
to the vehicles.
CAUTION
!●Check the other vehicle. It must have a 12-volt bat-
tery.
If the other system isn’t 12-volt, shorting can dam-
age both vehicles.
