lThe use of special shaped, damaged compact
discs (like cracked discs) or low-quality com-
pact discs (like warped discs or burrs on the
discs) such as those shown will damage the
CD player.
l In the following circumstances, moisture can
form on discs and inside the audio system,
preventing normal operation. •When there is high humidity (for exam-
ple, when it is raining).
• When the temperature suddenly rises,
such as right after the heater is turned on
in cold weather.

In this case, wait until the moisture has
had time to dry out.
l When the CD player is subjected to violent vi-
brations, such as during off-road driving, the
tracking may not work.
l When storing compact discs, always store
them in their separate cases. Never place com-
pact discs in direct sunlight, or in any place
where the temperature or humidity is high.
l Never touch the flat surface of the disc with-
out a label. This will damage the disc surface
and could affect the sound quality. When han-
dling a compact disc, always hold it by the
outer edge and the centre hole.
l To clean a disc, use a soft, clean, dry cloth.
Wipe directly from the centre hole towards
the outer edge. Do not wipe in a circle. Nev-
er use any chemicals such as benzine, paint
thinner, a disc spray cleaner, or an anti-static
agent on the disc.l Do not use a ball point pen, felt pen, pencil,
etc. to write on the label surface of the disc.
l Do not put additional labels (A) or stickers
(B) on compact discs. Also, do not use any
compact disc on which a label or sticker has
started to peel off or any compact disc that
has stickiness or other contamination left by
a peeled-off label or sticker. If you use such
a compact disc, the CD player may stop work-
ing properly and you may not be able to eject
the compact disc.Notes on CD-Rs/RWs E00725100039
lYou may have trouble playing back some
CD-R/RW discs recorded on CD recorders
(CD-R/RW drives), either due to their record-
ing characteristics or dirt, fingerprints,
scratches, etc. on the disc surface.
l CD-R/RW
discs are less resistant to high tem-
peratures and high humidity than ordinary mu-
sic CDs. Leaving them inside a vehicle for ex-
tended periods may damage them and make
playback impossible.

If the vehicle breaks downE00800101166
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
3-34.
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.Emergency starting E00800502112
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.WARNINGl To start the engine using jumper cables
connected from another vehicle, perform
the correct procedures according to the in-
struction manual. Incorrect procedures
could result in a fire or explosion or dam-
age 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 connec-
tion you don’t want. The vehicle will not
start, and the bad grounding could damage
the electrical systems.
CAUTIONl 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 automatic transmission in “P”
(PARK) or a manual transmission in “N”
(Neutral). Turn off the ignition switch.
WARNINGl Turn off the ignition on both vehicles be-
forehand.
Make sure that the cables or your clothes
cannot be 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 8-09.
WARNINGl 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 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).

working near the battery.
l Keep the battery out of the reach of chil-
dren.
NOTE
l On vehicles with anti-lock brake system, if
the vehicle is put in motion without fully
charging the battery, it might cause the loss
of smooth engine operation and the antilock
brake warning lamp to illuminate.
Refer to “Anti-lock brake system (ABS)” on
page 4-43.
Engine overheating E00800601985
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.WARNINGl 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 while the engine is hot.3. Confirm that the cooling fan is turning. If the
fan is not turning, stop the engine immediate-
ly and have it checked.

2.Using the jack handle, turn the release valve
anticlockwise slowly to lower the ram and re-
move the jack.
3. Press the piston down all the way, and turn
the release valve clockwise as far as possible.
4. Store jack, jack handle and chocks.
WARNINGl Be sure to open the release valve slowly.
If it is opened quickly, the vehicle will
drop abruptly and the jack may come out
of position, causing a serious accident.CAUTIONl If the release valve is loosened too much
(2 or more turns) in the anticlockwise di-
rection, the jack’s oil will leak and the
jack cannot be used.CAUTIONl Close the release valve slowly when lower-
ing the vehicle, or the valve may be dam-
aged.
NOTE
l Occasionally when the vehicle is jacked up,
the grooved portion of the designated point
will not come off. When this happens, rock
the vehicle to lower the ram.
l If the jack is difficult to remove by hand, in-
sert the jack handle (L) into the bracket (M).
Then using the handle, remove the jack.
WARNINGl Stop jacking up the vehicle as soon as the
tyre is raised off the ground. It is danger-
ous to raise the vehicle any higher.
l Do not get under your vehicle while using
the jack.WARNINGl Do not bump the raised vehicle or leave it
sitting on the jack for a long time. Both
are very dangerous.
l Do not use a jack except the one that
came with your vehicle.
l The jack should not be used for any pur-
pose other than to change a tyre.
l No one should be in your vehicle when us-
ing the jack.
l Do not start or run the engine while your
vehicle is on the jack.
l Do not turn the raised wheel. The tyres
still on the ground could turn and make
your vehicle fall off the jack.

Operation under adverse drivingconditions E00801702140
If your vehicle becomes stuck in sand,
mud or snow
If the vehicle becomes stuck in snow, sand, or
mud, it can often be moved with a rocking motion.
Move the selector lever alternately between the
“L” (LOW) and “R” (REVERSE) position (with
manual transmission, between 1 st
and Reverse),
while applying slight pressure to the accelerator ped-
al.
Avoid racing the engine or spinning the wheels. Pro-
longed efforts to free a stuck vehicle may result in
overheating and transmission failure. Allow the en-
gine to idle for a few minutes to let the transmis-
sion cool between rocking attempts.
If the vehicle remains stuck after several rocking at-
tempts, seek other assistance.WARNINGl When attempting to rock your vehicle out
of a stuck position, be sure that the area
around the vehicle is clear of people and
physical objects. The rocking motion may
cause the vehicle to suddenly launch for-
ward or backward, causing injury or dam-
age to nearby people or objects.
On 2WD vehicles, it is recommended to start the ve-
hicle with parking brake partially, but not complete-
ly, applied by slightly pulling the parking brake lev-
er.
After the vehicle has become free, do not forget to
release the parking brake.
NOTE
l Depress the accelerator pedal gradually when
starting the vehicle.
On a flooded road l Avoid flooded roads. Water could enter the
brake discs, resulting in temporarily ineffec-
tive brakes. In such cases, lightly depress the
brake pedal to see if the brakes operate prop-
erly. If they do not, lightly depress the pedal
several times while driving in order to dry
the brake pads.
l When driving in rain or on a road with many
puddles a layer of water may form between
the tyres and the road surface.
This reduces a tyre’s frictional resistance on
the road, resulting in loss of steering stability
and braking capability.

To cope with this, observe the following items: (a)Drive your vehicle at slow speed. (b)Do not drive on worn tyres. Always
maintain the specified tyre inflation
pressures.
On a snow-covered or frozen road
l When driving on a snow-covered or frozen
road, it is recommended that you use snow
tyres or tyre chains.
Refer to the “Snow tyres” and “Tyre chains”
sections.
l Avoid high-speed operation, sudden acceler-
ation, abrupt brake application and sharp cor-
nering.
l Depressing the brake pedal during travel on
snowy or icy roads may cause tyre slippage
and skidding. When traction between the
tyres and the road is reduced the wheels may
skid and the vehicle cannot readily be
brought to a stop by conventional braking
techniques. Braking will differ, depending
upon whether you have anti-lock brake sys-
tem (ABS). If you do have ABS, brake by
pressing the brake system pedal hard, and
keeping it pressed. If you do not have ABS,
pump the brake pedal with short rapid jabs,
each time fully applying and fully releasing
for greatest effect.
l Allow extra distance between your vehicle
and the vehicle in front of you, and avoid sud-
den braking.
l Accumulation of ice on the braking system
can cause the wheels to lock. Pull away from
a standstill slowly after confirming safety
around the vehicle.CAUTIONl Do not press the accelerator pedal rapid-
ly. If the wheels break free of the ice, the
vehicle could suddenly start moving and
possibly cause an accident.
On a bumpy or rutted road
l Drive as slow as possible when driving on
bumpy or rutted roads.
