3. CAUTIONS
If 100% of anti-freeze is added, the water pump vane can be damaged and thermal
conductivity can be decreased resulting in poor circulation in the cooling system which leads
to overheated engine.
Use of non-recommended coolant could cause damage to the cooling system and
overheating of the engine.
Opening the coolant reservoir cap while the engine is running or hot can cause burns by hot
steam or water.
To open the coolant reservoir cap, wrap the cap with a wet towel or thick cloth after the
engine is cooled down sufficiently.
If cool water is added to the heated engine, the engine or radiator can be deformed.
The anti-freeze in the coolant can damage the painted surface, so avoid the contact of the
coolant to the painted body.
The anti-freeze and water should be mixed in proper mixture ratio. Never add only water
when adding coolant.
If the anti-freeze content is too low, the coolant can be frozen while the engine can be
overheated if anti-freeze content is too high. -

(3) Starting with jumper cable
If the battery is weak or terminated, the battery from another vehicle can be used with jumper
cables to start the engine.
Connecting order ▶
The positive (+) terminal of the discharged battery
The positive (+) terminal of the booster battery
The negative (-) terminal of the booster battery
Connect one end of the other jumper cable to the body of the discharged vehicle, such as the
engine block or a front towing hook. 1.

Starting ▶
Prepare a set of jumper cables.
Place another vehicle that has the same 12 V of power near to the discharged vehicle.
Switch off all electrical accessories for the discharged vehicle.
Apply the parking brake and shift the transaxle to the P position (automatic transaxle) or neutral
(N) position (manual transaxle).
Connect the jumper cables.
Try to start the discharged vehicle while accelerating the engine rpm in the booster vehicle.
Attempt to start the engine with the discharged battery.
After starting the engine, carefully disconnect the jumper cables in the reverse sequence of
connection. 1.

4) Washer Coupled Wiper Function
Check the washer coupled wiper operation by pressing the washer switch.
5) Irregular Operations (Abrupt Operations)
6) Self Diagnosis
Position the wiper switch to “AUTO” position and rotate the variable resistance knob from “FAST”
toward “SLOW” by one step.
At this moment, check if the wiper operates one cycle.
The wiper operates when the windshield glass is excessively worn or scratched, the windshield
glass is not cleared wiped due to using worn wiper blade or different wiper blade, or the rain
sensor is not improperly installed.Check the sensor for coming off.
Check the rain sensor cover installation.
Check that the customer is familiar to how to control the wiper sensitivity. -
-
-
If the wiper blade cannot wipe the glass uniformly and clearly, the irregular operations could be
occurred. And, the wiper blade should be replaced with new one with same specifications. Check that the customer can select the sensitivity by selecting the variable resistance value
(stage 1 to stage 5), that is, the wiper sensitivity control value. And, also check whether the
sensitivity is selected to the highest value of FAST (stage 5).
Check the wiper blade for wear. -
▶Poor sensing
▶Poor sensor
Rotate the variable resistance knob toward “SLOW” by 2 more steps. At this moment, check if
the wiper operates one cycle.
The wiper operates when the sensor is defective.

2) Operation of ESP System
(1) Under steering
What is understeering? ▶
ESP controls during understeer ▶ Understeer is a term for a condition in which the steering wheel is steered to a certain angle
during driving and the front tires slip toward the reverse direction of the desired direction.
Generally, vehicles are designed to have understeer. It is because that the vehicle can return back
to inside of cornering line when the steering wheel is steered toward the inside even when the
front wheels are slipped outward.
As the centrifugal force increases, the tires can easily lose the traction and the vehicle tends to
slip outward when the curve angle gets bigger and the speed increases.
The ESP system recognizes the directional angle with the steering wheel angle sensor and senses
the slipping route that occurs reversely against the vehicle cornering direction during understeer
with the yaw rate sensor and lateral sensor. Then, the ESP system applies the braking force to the
rear inner wheel to compensate the yaw moment value. In this way, the vehicle does not lose its
driving direction and the driver can steer the vehicle as intended.

(2) Over steering
What is oversteering? ▶
ESP controls during oversteer ▶ Oversteer is a term of a condition in which the steering wheel is steered to a certain angle during
driving and the rear tires slip outward losing traction.
Compared to understeering vehicles, it is hard to control the vehicle during cornering and the
vehicle can spin due to rear wheel moment when the rear tires lose traction and the vehicle speed
increases.
The ESP system recognizes the directional angle with the steering wheel angle sensor and senses
the slipping route that occurs towards the vehicle cornering direction during oversteer with the
yaw rate sensor and lateral sensor. Then the ESP system applies the braking force to the front
outer wheel to compensate the yaw moment value. In this way, the vehicle does not lose its
driving direction and the driver can steer the vehicle as intended.
