If the vehicle breaks down
E00800101166
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. WARNING
l 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. 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 automatic transmission in “P”
(PARK) or a manual transmission 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.
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 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).

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 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 4-44. 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. 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. 3. Confirm that the cooling fan is turning. If the
fan is not turning, stop the engine immediate-
ly and have it checked. A- Radiator cap
B- Cooling fan
C- Reserve tank
*: if so equipped WARNING
l Be careful not to
get your hands or
clothes caught in the cooling fan. For emergencies

Jacking up the vehicle
E00801001436
1. Park the vehicle on level and stable ground.
2. Set the parking brake firmly.
3. On vehicles
with manual transmission, turn
the ignition key to the “LOCK” position,
move the gearshift lever to the “R” (Reverse)
position.
On vehicles with automatic transmission,
move the selector lever to the “P” (PARK) po-
sition, turn the ignition key to the “LOCK”
position.
4. Turn on the hazard warning flashers and set up a warning triangle, flashing signal lamp,
etc., at an adequate distance from the vehi-
cle, and have all your passengers leave the ve-
hicle.
5. To prevent the vehicle from rolling when it is raised on the jack, place chocks or blocks
(A) at the tyre that is diagonally opposite
from the tyre (B) you are changing. WARNING
l Be sure to apply chocks
or blocks to the
correct tyre when jacking up the vehicle.
If the vehicle moves while jacked up, the
jack could slip out of position, leading to
an accident.
NOTE l The
chocks shown in the

illustration do not
come with your vehicle. It is recommended
that you keep one in the vehicle for use if nee-
ded.
l If chocks are not available, use stones or any
other objects that are large enough to hold
the wheel in position.
6. Get the spare wheel, jack and jack handle ready.
7. Place the jack under one of the jacking points shown in the illustration. Use the jack-
ing point closest to the tyre you wish to
change. 2WD vehicles with 15 inch wheels C- Front jacking point (2WD vehicles with 15

ted in the wheel disc hole when the wheel is
just lifted off the ground.
3. After winding up the spare wheel sufficient- ly, make sure it is not loose (the tightening
torque should be approximately 40 Nm) then
withdraw the jack handle, taking care not to
turn it in the reverse direction. CAUTION
l
The spare wheel should
always
be secure-
ly in position.
If a flat tyre is changed, put the flat tyre
in the spare wheel mounting position
with the wheel outer surface upward, and
use the wheel nut wrench to secure it firm-
ly. How to change a tyre

Towing with rear wheels off the ground (Type C)
Place the gearshift lever in
the “N” (Neutral) posi-
tion (manual transmission) or the selector lever in
the “N” (NEUTRAL) position (automatic transmis-
sion). Turn the ignition key to the “ACC” position
and secure the steering wheel in a straight ahead po-
sition with a rope or tie-down strap. Never place
the ignition switch in the “LOCK” position when
towing.
Emergency towing
If towing service is not available in an emergency,
your vehicle may be temporarily towed by a cable
or chain secured to the towing hook.
If your vehicle is to be towed by another vehicle,
pay careful attention to the following points.
If your vehicle is to be towed by anoth-
er vehicle
1. The front towing hooks (A) and rear towinghook (B) are located as shown in the illustra-
tion. Secure the tow rope to the towing hook.

Front (2WD vehicles with 15 inch wheels) Front (2WD vehicles with 16 inch wheels and
4WD vehicles)
Rear*
NOTE
l Using
any part other than

the designated tow-
ing hooks could result in damage to the vehi-
cle body.
l Using a wire rope or metal chain can result
in damage to the vehicle body. It is best to
use a non-metallic rope. If you use a wire
rope or metal chain, wrap it with cloth at any
point where it touches the vehicle body. l
Take
care
that the
tow
rope is kept as horizon-
tal as possible. An angled tow rope can dam-
age the vehicle body.
l Secure the tow rope to the same side towing
hook, to keep the tow rope as straight as pos-
sible.
2. Keep the engine running. If the engine is not running, turn the ignition
key to the “ACC” or “ON” position to un-
lock the steering wheel. CAUTION
l
When the engine is
not
running, the
brake booster and power steering pump
do not operate. This means higher brake
depression force and higher steering ef-
fort are required. Therefore, vehicle oper-
ation is more difficult than usual.
l Do not leave the key in the “LOCK” posi-
tion. The steering wheel will lock, causing
loss of control.
3. Place the gearshift lever in the “N” (Neutral)
position (manual
transmission) or

the selec-
tor lever in the “N” (NEUTRAL) position (au-
tomatic transmission).
4. On 4WD vehicles, the transfer shift lever to “2H” position.
5. Turn on the hazard warning lamps if required by law.
(Follow the local driving laws and regula-
tions.)
6. During towing make sure that close contact is maintained between the drivers of both ve-
hicles, and that the vehicles travel at low
speed. For emergencies
