6-2 For emergencies
6If the vehicle breaks down
N00836300073
If your vehicle breaks down on the road, move to the shoulder
and turn on the hazard warning flashers. If there is no shoulder,
or the shoulder is not safe, drive in the right lane slowly, with
the hazard lights flashing, until you come to a safe stopping
place. Keep the flashers flashing. If the engine stops/fails If the engine stops, there will be no power assist to the steering
and brakes, making these difficult to use.
The brake booster will not work, so the brakes will not
grip well. The brake pedal will be harder to press than
usual.
Since there is no power steering assist, the steering wheel
will be hard to turn. Turning the steering wheel requires
more effort than usual.
When the engine fails at the intersection Get help from your passengers, bystanders, etc. to push the
vehicle and move it to a safe zone.
Jump-starting the engine
N00836400670
If the engine cannot be started because the battery is weak or
dead, you can start it with the battery from another vehicle
using jumper cables. NOTE
Although the battery in your vehicle is located in the trunk
(refer to page 7-18), use the joint terminal in the engine
compartment to jump start the engine.
1. Take off any metal jewelry such as watch bands or brace-
lets that might make an accidental electrical contact.
WA R N I N G
!
Follow the procedure described in this section when
using the jump cable to start the engine. Failure to
follow these instructions can cause serious injury or
death.CAUTION
!
Do not try to start your vehicle by pushing or tow-
ing. Vehicles with Twin Clutch SST cannot be
started this way. Pushing or towing a vehicle that
has a manual transaxle may overheat and damage
the catalytic converter. Also, there is more risk of an
accident when a vehicle is being pushed or towed.
