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
Take care not to get the jumper cable
caught in the cooling fan or other rotat-
ing part in the engine compartment.
l Use the proper cables suitable for the bat-
tery size to prevent overheating of the ca-
bles.
l Check the jumper cables for damage and
corrosion before use.
7. Start the engine in the vehicle which has the
booster battery,

let the engine idle a few mi-
nutes, then start the engine in the vehicle
with the discharged battery. CAUTION
l
Keep the engine
of the vehicle giving assis-
tance running.
8. After the engine is started, disconnect the ca-
bles in

the reverse order and keep the engine
running for several minutes. WARNING
l If the
battery
has to be charged while fit-
ted in the vehicle, 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. WARNING
l Remove all the
caps before charging the
battery.
l Electrolyte is corrosive diluted sulphuric
acid. If electrolyte (battery acid) comes in-
to contact 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.
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
4-39. Engine overheating
E00800600991
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 while the engine is hot. For emergencies
