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.

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).

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.

battery might catch fire and explode.
WARNINGl When connecting the jumper cables, do
not allow the positive (+) cable and nega-
tive (-) terminal to make contact. Other- wise sparks might cause explosion of the battery.CAUTIONl Take care not to get the jumper cable caught
in the cooling fan or other rotating part in
the engine compartment.
l Use the proper cables suitable for the battery
size to prevent overheating of the cables.
l Check the jumper cables for damage and
corrosion before use.
