If the vehicle breaks down
E00800101179
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 warn-
ing flasher switch” on page 3-35.
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
E00800502587
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 using jumper cables
connected to another vehicle, perform the
correct procedures according to the in-
struction below. Incorrect procedures
could result in a fire or explosion or dam-
age to the vehicles. CAUTION
l
Do not attempt
to start the engine by pull-
ing or pushing the vehicle. It could dam-
age your vehicle.
l Always wear protective eye goggles when
working near the battery.
l Keep the battery out of the reach of chil-
dren.
1. Get the vehicles close enough so the jumper
cables can

reach, but be sure the vehicles
aren’t touching each other. 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. 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. Make sure that the cables or
your clothes cannot be caught by the fan
or drive belt. Personal injury could result.
3. Turn off all lamps, heater and other electrical
loads.
4. 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.
5. Connect one end of one jumper cable to the
positive (+)

terminal of the discharged bat-
tery (A or B), and the other end to the posi-
tive (+) terminal of the booster battery (C). For emergencies

CAUTION
l
Do not use a scrubbing brush or other
hard tools as they may damage the plastic
part surface.
l Do not use wax containing compound (pol-
ishing powder) which may damage the
plastic part surface.
l Do not bring the plastic parts into contact
with petrol, light oil, brake fluids, engine
oils, greases, paint thinners, and sulphu-
ric acid (battery electrolyte) which may
crack, stain or discolour the plastic parts.
If they touch the plastic parts, wipe them
off with soft cloth, chamois or the like
and an aqueous solution of neutral deter-
gent then immediately rinse the affected
parts with water.
Chrome parts E00901400115
In order to prevent spots and corrosion of chrome
parts, wash with

water, dry thoroughly, and apply a
special protective coating. This should be done
more frequently in winter.
Aluminium wheels* E00901500321
1. Remove dirt using a sponge while sprinkling
water on the wheel.
2. Use

neutral detergent on any dirt that cannot
be removed easily with water.
Rinse off the neutral detergent after washing
the wheel.
3. Dry the vehicle thoroughly using a chamois leather or a soft cloth. CAUTION
l
Do not use
a brush or other hard imple-
ment on the wheels.
Doing so could scratch the wheels.
l Do not use any cleaner that contains an
abrasive substance or is acidic or alka-
line. Doing so could cause the coating on
the wheels to peel or become discoloured
or stained.
l Do not directly apply hot water using a
steam cleaner or by any other means.
l Contact with seawater and road deicer
can cause corrosion. Rinse off such sub-
stances as soon as possible.
Window glass E00901600032
The window glass can normally be cleaned using
only a sponge and water.
Glass cleaner can

be used to remove oil, grease,
dead insects, etc. After washing the glass, wipe dry
with a clean, dry, soft cloth. Never use the same
cloth to wipe the window glass as would be used to
wipe the paintwork; wax from the painted surfaces
could adhere to the glass and reduce its transparen-
cy and visibility.
NOTE
l To clean the inside of the backdoor window,
always use a soft cloth and wipe the window
glass along the demister heater element so as
not to cause damage. Wiper blades
E00901700059
Use a soft cloth and glass cleaner to remove grease,
dead insects, etc.,

from the wiper blades. Replace
the wiper blades when they no longer wipe proper-
ly. (Refer to page 8-17.)
Cleaning the sunroof* E00901800180
Clean the inside of the sunroof with a soft cloth.
Hard deposits should

be wiped away with a cloth
dipped in warm, neutral detergent solution. Wipe
away the solution with a sponge dipped in fresh wa-
ter.
NOTE
l The surface treatment on the inside of the
glass may be removed if hard cloth or organ-
ic solvent (benzine, kerosene, thinner, etc.) is
used.
Engine compartment E00902100311
Clean the engine compartment at the beginning and
end of winter.

Pay particular attention to flanges,
crevices and peripheral parts where dust containing
road chemicals and other corrosive materials might
collect.
If salt and other chemicals are used on the roads in
your area, clean the engine compartment at least ev-
ery three months.
Never spray or splash water on the electrical com-
ponents in the engine compartment, as this may
cause damage.
Do not bring the nearby parts, the plastic parts and
so on into contact with sulphuric acid (battery elec-
trolyte) which may crack, stain or discolour them. Vehicle care
