When trouble arises
■When recharging or replacing the battery (vehicles with a smart key sys-
tem)
● In some cases, it may not be possible to unlock the doors using the smart
key system when the battery is discharged. Use the wireless remote control
or the mechanical key to lock or unlock the doors.
● The engine may not start on the first attempt after the battery has recharged
but will start normally after the second attempt. This is not a malfunction.
● The engine switch mode is memorized by the vehicle. When the battery is
reconnected, the system will return to the mode it was in before the battery
was discharged. Before disconnecting the battery, turn the engine switch off.
If you are unsure what mode the engine switch was in before the battery dis-
charged, be especially careful when reconnecting the battery.
■ When the battery is removed or discharged
●The power back door (if equipped) must be initialized. ( P. 128)
● The moon roof (if equipped) must be initialized. ( P. 160)
CAUTION
■Avoiding battery fires or explosions
Observe the following precautions to prevent accidentally igniting the flam-
mable gas that may be emitted from the battery:
●Make sure each jumper cable is connected to the correct terminal and that
it is not unintentionally in contact with any other than the intended terminal.
● Do not allow the other end of the jumper cable connected to the “+” termi-
nal to come into contact with any other parts or metal surfaces in the area,
such as brackets or unpainted metal.
● Do not allow the + and - clamps of the jumper cables to come into contact
with each other.
● Do not smoke, use matches, cigarette lighters or allow open flame near
the battery.

■Précautions relatives aux coussins gonflables SRS
●Ne laissez personne s’agenouiller face
à la portière sur le siège du passager ni
sortir la tête ou les mains à l’extérieur
du véhicule.
● Ne fixez rien et n’appuyez rien sur des
zones telles que la planche de bord, le
tampon de volant et la partie inférieure
du tableau de bord.
Ces objets peuvent se transformer en
projectiles lorsque les coussins gonfla-
bles SRS du conducteur, du passager
avant ou de protection des genoux se
déploient.
● Ne fixez rien sur des zones telles que
les portières, le pare-brise, les glaces
de portières, les montants avant ou
arrière, le brancard de pavillon et la poi-
gnée de maintien.
● Véhicules non dotés du système Smart
key : N’accrochez pas d’objets lourds,
pointus ou durs, par exemple des clés
ou des accessoires, à la clé. Ces objets
pourraient empêcher le déploiement du
coussin gonflable SRS de protection
des genoux ou être projetés violem-
ment dans l’assise du siège du conduc-
teur par la force du déploiement, et
donc présenter un danger.
