If the vehicle breaks downE00800101166
If the vehicle breaks down on the road, move it to the shoulder and use the hazard warning
flashers and/or the warning triangle etc.
Refer to “Hazard warning flasher switch” on page 5-37.
If the engine stops/fails
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 pump is no lon-
ger operative, the steering wheel feels
heavy when turning it.
Emergency starting
E00800502112
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 from another vehicle, perform
the correct procedures according to the instruction manual. Incorrect procedures could result in a fire or explosion or dam-
age to the vehicles.
1. Get the vehicles close enough so the
jumper cables can reach, but be sure the vehicles aren’t touching each other.If they are, it could cause a ground con-
nection you don’t want. The vehicle will not start, and the bad grounding could
damage the electrical systems.
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. You could be injured if the vehicles
move. Set the parking brake firmly on
each vehicle. Put an automatic transmis-
sion in “P” (PARK) or a manual trans- mission in “N” (Neutral). Turn off the
ignition switch.
WARNINGl Turn off the ignition on both vehicles be-
forehand.
Make sure that the cables or your clothes cannot be caught by the fan or drive belt.
Personal injury could result.NOTEl Turn off all lamps, heater and other electri-
cal loads. This will avoid sparks and help
save both batteries.
3. Make sure battery electrolyte is at the
proper level.
Refer to “Battery” on page 10-10.
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.
4. 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).

5.Connect one end of the other jumper ca-
ble to the negative (-) terminal of the
booster battery (B), and the other end to
the engine block of the vehicle with the
discharged battery at the point farthest from the battery.
NOTEl Open the cover before connecting the jump-
er cable to the positive (+) terminal of thebattery.
(Refer to “Battery” on page 10-10.)WARNINGl Be sure to observe the connecting se-
quence of .
l Make sure that the connection
is made
to the appointed position (shown in the il-
lustration). If the connection is made di-
rectly to the negative side of the battery, the inflammable gasses generated from the battery might catch fire and explode.
l When connecting the jumper cables, do
not connect the positive (+) cable to the
negative (-) terminal.
Otherwise 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.
Otherwise heat damage to the cables could
result.
l Check the jumper cables for damage and
corrosion before use.6. Start the engine in the vehicle which has
the booster battery, let the engine idle a
few minutes, then start the engine in the vehicle with the discharged battery.CAUTIONl Keep the engine of the vehicle giving assis-
tance running.
7. After the engine is started, disconnect
the cables in the reverse order.
WARNINGl Charging the battery while it is installed
in the vehicle might cause the battery to
catch fire and explode.
Or damage to the vehicle could result. If it has to be charged in that condition for un- avoidable reasons, disconnect the vehicle
side negative (-) terminal connected to the
battery.
l Keep sparks, cigarettes and flames away
from the battery because the battery may
produce an explosion.
l Use adequate ventilation when charging
or using the battery in an enclosed space.

E00800602777
If the water temperature gauge indication re-
mains in the overheating zone for a long
time, the engine may be overheating. If this occurs, take the following corrective meas-
ures: 1. Stop the vehicle in a safe place.
2. Check whether steam is coming from the
engine compartment.

[If steam does not come from the engine
compartment]
With the engine still running, raise the bonnet to ventilate the engine compart-
ment.

[If steam is coming from the engine
compartment]
Stop the engine, and when the steam
stops, raise the bonnet to ventilate the engine compartment. Restart the engine.WARNINGl Do not open the bonnet while steam is
coming from the engine compartment. It
could cause steam or hot water to spurt out, causing burns. Hot water could spurt
out even when there is no steam coming out, and some parts will be very hot. Be
very careful when opening the bonnet.WARNINGl Be careful of hot steam, which could be
blowing off the reserve tank cap.
