6If the vehicle breaks down
N00836300158
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/failsIf 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.When the engine fails at the intersectionGet help from your passengers, bystanders, etc. to push the
vehicle and move it to a safe zone.
Jump-starting the engine
N00836400524
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.
1. Take off any metal jewelry such as watch bands or brace-
lets that might make an accidental electrical contact.
2. Position the vehicles close enough together so that the
jumper cables can reach, but be sure the vehicles aren’t
touching each other.
WA R N I N G
!
When using jumper cables to start a vehicle, follow
the procedures and be very cautious.
CAUTION
!
Do not try to start your vehicle by pushing or tow-
ing. Vehicles with automatic transaxles cannot be
started this way. Also, there is more risk of an acci-
dent when a vehicle is being pushed or towed.
CAUTION
!
Check the other vehicle. It must have a 12-volt bat-
tery. If the other system isn’t 12-volt, both systems
can be damaged.

cable to the positive terminal of the battery.
(Refer to “Battery” on page 7-21.)

Use the proper cables suitable for the battery size.
Otherwise heat damage to the cables could result.

Check the jumper cables for damage and corrosion before
use.
6. Connect one end of the other jumper cable to the negative
(-) terminal of the booster battery (B), and the other end to
the engine block of the vehicle with the low battery (A) at
the point farthest from the battery.7. Start the engine in the vehicle providing the boost. Let the
engine idle a few minutes, then start the engine in the
vehicle with the low battery.
8. After the engine is started, disconnect the cables in the
reverse order from the way you connected them.

!
Be sure to follow the proper order when connecting
the batteries, of: →→→
Make sure that the connection is made to the
engine properly. If the connection is directly made to
the negative terminal of the battery, the flammable
gases from inside the battery might catch fire and
explode, causing personal injury.
When connecting the jumper cable, do not connect
the positive (+) cable to the negative (-) terminal.
Otherwise sparks can make the battery explode.
CAUTION
!
Make sure that the jumper cable will not be caught
in the cooling fan or other moving parts in the
engine compartment.
WA R N I N G
!
Charging your battery while it is still in your vehicle
might cause the battery to catch fire and explode. If
you have to charge it while in the vehicle, disconnect
the negative (-) terminal.
Keep sparks, cigarettes, and flames away from the
battery because the battery could explode.
Keep your work area well vented when charging or
using the battery in an enclosed space.
Remove all the caps before charging the battery.
Electrolyte (battery acid) is made of corrosive
diluted sulfuric acid. If electrolyte comes in contact
with your hands, eyes, clothes, or the painted sur-
face of your vehicle, thoroughly flush with water. If
electrolyte gets in your eyes, flush them immediately
and thoroughly with water, and get prompt medical
attention.
