If the vehicle breaks down
E00800100778
If
the vehicle breaks down on the road, move it to
the shoulder and use the hazard warning flashers and/
or the warning triangle etc.
Refer to “Hazard warning flasher switch” on page
3-21.
If the engine stops/fails
Vehicle operation and control are affected if the en-
gine stops.
Before moving the vehicle to a safe area, be aware
of the following:
l The brake booster becomes inoperative and
the pedal effort will increase. Press down the
brake pedal harder than usual.
l Since the power steering pump is no longer
operative, the steering wheel feels heavy
when turning it. Turn the wheel with more ef-
fort than usual. Emergency starting
E00800502301
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. WARNING
l To
start the engine by use of jumper ca-
bles from another vehicle, perform the cor-
rect procedures according to the instruc-
tion manual. Incorrect procedures could
result in a fire or explosion or damage to
the vehicles.
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 sys-
tems. CAUTION
l
Check
the other vehicle. It must have a 12-
volt battery.
If the other system isn’t 12-volt, shorting
can damage both vehicles.
2. You
could be injured if the vehicles move. Set the parking brake firmly on each vehicle.
Put an A/T in “P” (PARK) or a M/T in “N”
(Neutral). Turn off the ignition switch. WARNING
l Turn
off the ignition on both vehicles be-
forehand. Take care to make sure that
the cables or your clothes are never
caught by the fan or drive belt. Personal
injury could result.
NOTE l Turn

off all lamps, heater and other electrical
loads. This will avoid sparks and help save
both batteries.
3. Make sure battery electrolyte is at the proper level. Refer to “Battery” on page 8-10. WARNING
l If
electrolyte fluid is not visible, or ap-
pears to be frozen, Do Not Attempt Jump
Starting!
A battery might rupture or explode if the
temperature is below the freezing point
or if it is not filled to the proper level.
4. Connect the booster battery. Petrol-powered vehicles

terminal of the booster battery (B).
Diesel-powered vehicles (except for diesel
particulate filter models)
Lift
up the front of the engine cover to re-
lease the three grommets (A). Then, pull the
engine cover towards you to release the grom-
met (B) and remove the cover. Diesel-powered vehicles (for diesel particu-
late filter models) Lift up the engine cover to release the five
grommets (A) and remove the cover.
Connect one end of one jumper cable to the
positive
(+) terminal of the discharged bat-
tery (A), and the other end to the positive (+)
terminal of the booster battery (B). 5. Connect
one end of the other jumper cable to
the negative (-) terminal of the booster bat-
tery, and the other end to the engine block of
the vehicle with the discharged battery at the
point farthest from the battery. NOTE
l Open

the cover before connecting the jumper
cable to the positive (+) terminal of the bat-
tery. (Refer to “Battery” on page 8-10.) WARNING
l Be
sure to observe the connecting se-
quence of .
l Make sure that the connection is made
to

the appointed position (shown in the il-
lustration). If the connection is made di-
rectly to the negative side of the battery,
the inflammable gasses generated from
the battery might catch fire and explode.
l When connecting the jumper cable, do
not connect the positive (+) cable to the
negative (-) terminal. Otherwise sparks
might cause explosion of the battery. CAUTION
l
Take
care not to get the jumper cable
caught in the cooling fan or other rotat-
ing part in the engine compartment.
l Take care not to pinch the wiring harness
with the clamps when connecting the
jumper cables.
l Use the proper cables suitable for the bat-
tery size. Otherwise heat damage to the ca-
bles could result.
l 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 mi- For emergencies

nutes, then start the engine in the vehicle
with the discharged battery.
CAUTION
l
Keep the engine of the vehicle giving assis-
tance running.
7. After
the engine is started, disconnect the ca- bles in the reverse order. WARNING
l 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 charg-
ed in that condition for unavoidable rea-
sons, disconnect the vehicle side negative
(-) terminal connected to the battery.
l Keep sparks, cigarettes and flames away
from the battery because the battery may
produce an explosion.
l Use adequate ventilation when charging
or using the battery in an enclosed space.
l Remove all the caps before charging the
battery.
l Electrolyte is corrosive diluted sulphuric
acid.
If electrolyte (battery acid) comes into con-
tact with your hands, eyes, clothes and
the painted surface of your 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 attention. CAUTION
l
Do
not attempt to start the engine by pull-
ing or pushing the vehicle.
It could damage your vehicle.
l Always wear protective eye goggles when
working near the battery.
l Keep the battery out of the reach of chil-
dren.
NOTE l If

the vehicle is put in motion without fully
charging the battery, it might cause the loss
of smooth engine operation and the anti-lock
brake warning lamp to illuminate. Refer to
“Anti-lock brake system (ABS)” on page
4-21. Engine overheating
E00800602126
If

the water temperature gauge indication remains
in the overheating zone for a long time, the engine
may be overheating. If this occurs, take the follow-
ing corrective measures: 1. Stop the vehicle in a safe place.
2. Check whether steam is coming from the en-gine compartment.

[If steam does not come from the engine com-
partment]
With the engine still running, raise the bon-
net to ventilate the engine compartment.

[If steam is coming from the engine compart-
ment]
Stop the engine, and when the steam stops,
raise the bonnet to ventilate the engine com-
partment. Restart the engine. WARNING
l Do
not open the bonnet while steam is com-
ing from the engine compartment. It
could cause steam or hot water to spurt
out, causing burns. Hot water could spurt
out even when there is no steam coming
out, and some parts will be very hot. Be
very careful when opening the bonnet.
l Be careful of hot steam, which could be
blowing off the reserve tank cap.
l Do not attempt to remove the radiator
cap (petrol-powered vehicles) or reserve
tank cap (diesel-powered vehicles) while
