Vehicle operation and control are affected if
the engine 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 system is no

heavy when turning it.
Emergency starting
E00800502851
If the engine cannot be started because thebattery is weak or dead, the battery from an-other vehicle can be used with jumper cables to start the engine.
WARNINGl 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.CAUTIONl Do not attempt to start the engine by pulling
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 children.
1.
Get the vehicles close enough so the
jumper cables can reach, but be sure the vehicles aren’t touching each other.
CAUTIONl 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. Turn off all lamps, heater and other elec-
trical loads.
3. Set the parking brake firmly on each ve-
hicle. Put an A/T, CVT in “P” (PARK)
or a M/T in “N” (Neutral).
4. Turn the ignition switch to the “LOCK”
position or put the operation mode in OFF.WARNINGl Perform step 4 on both vehicles before-
hand.
Make sure that the cables or your clothes cannot be caught by the fan or drive belt.
Personal injury could result.
5. Make sure battery electrolyte is at the
proper level.
Refer to “Battery” on page 10-08.
WARNINGl 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 orif it is not filled to the proper level.
6. Connect one end of one jumper cable to
the positive (+) terminal of the dis-charged battery (A), and the other end to
the positive (+) terminal of the booster
battery (B).

NOTElAfter replacing the battery, the electronic
control system data for the automatic trans- mission, etc., will be erased. As a result,
shift shocks may occur.
Shift shocks will become smoother after sev-
eral changes in speed.
Checking battery electrolyte
level (Type 1 only)
The electrolyte level must be between the specified limit on the outside of the battery.
Replenish with distilled water as necessary.
The inside of the battery is divided into sev- eral compartments; remove the cap from each
compartment and fill to the upper mark. Do not top up beyond the upper mark because
spillage during driving could cause damage.
Check the electrolyte level at least once every
4 weeks, depending on the operating condi- tions.
If the battery is not used, it will discharge by
itself with time.
Check it once every 4 weeks and charge with
low current as necessary.NOTEl To replenish with the distilled water, remove
the upper cover and duct.
Refer to “Removing and installing the upper
cover and duct” on page 10-09.Removing and installing the

1. Before replacing a fuse, always turn off
the electrical circuit concerned and turn
the ignition switch to the “LOCK” posi-
tion or put the operation mode in OFF.
2. Remove the fuse puller (A) from the in-
side of the fuse box in the engine com-
partment.
3. Referring to the fuse load capacity table,
check the fuse pertaining to the problem.
B- Fuse is OK
C- Blown fuse
NOTEl If any system does not function but the fuse
corresponding to that system is normal, theremay be a fault in the system elsewhere. We recommend you to have your vehiclechecked.
4. Use the fuse puller to insert a new fuse
with the same capacity. Make sure you
insert the fuse into the same location in
the fuse block.
CAUTIONl If the newly inserted fuse blows again after a
short time, we recommend you to have the electrical system checked to find the causeand rectify it.
l Never use a fuse with a larger capacity than
specified or a substitute (such as a cable or
foil). Doing so could cause the circuit wires
to overheat and create a fire.Replacement of lamp bulbs
E01003100488
Before replacing a bulb, ensure the lamp isoff. Do not touch the glass part of the new
bulb with your bare fingers; the skin oil left
on the glass will evaporate when the bulb gets hot and the vapour will condense on the
reflector and dim the surface.
