After the Engine Starts
Once your vehicle’s engine has started, remove the jumper cables in the following
order:
1.

Disconnect the jumper cable from your vehicle’
s ground.
2.

Disconnect the other end of the jumper cable from the booster battery (\
-)
terminal.
3.


Disconnect the jumper cable from your vehicle’
s battery (+) terminal.
4.

Disconnect the other end of the jumper cable from the booster battery (\
+)
terminal. Close the fuse box cover on your vehicle’

s battery (+) terminal.
5.

Have your vehicle inspected by a nearby service station or a dealer
.Overheating
If the high temperature indicator comes on, the engine suddenly loses po\
wer, or
steam or spray comes out from under the hood, your engine is overheating\
.
1.
Immediately park the vehicle in a safe place. T
urn
off all accessories and turn on the hazard warning
lights.
2.

If steam or spray is not present:
Keep the engine
running and open the hood.
If steam or spray is present:

Turn off the engine and
wait until it subsides. Then, open the hood.
3.

Check that the cooling fan is operating and stop the engine once the hig\
h
temperature indicator goes off. If the cooling fan is not operating, imm\
ediately
stop the engine.
4.


Once the engine has cooled down, inspect the coolant level and check the\

cooling system components for leaks. If the coolant level in the reserve\
t

ank
is low, add coolant until it reaches the MAX mark. If there is no coolant in t\
he
reserve tank, make sure the radiator is cool, then cover the radiator ca\
p with a
heavy cloth and open the cap. If necessary, add coolant up to the base of the
filler neck, and put the cap back on.
Once the engine has cooled sufficiently, restart it and check the high temperature
indicator. If the indicator is off, resume driving. If it stays on, contact a dealer for
repairs.
Reserve
tank
MAX
MIN
Steam and spray from an overheated engine can seriously scald you.
Do not open the hood if steam is coming out.
WARNING
Removing the radiator cap while the engine is hot can cause the coolant \
to
spray out, seriously scalding you.
Always let the engine and radiator cool down before removing the radiato\
r cap.
WARNING
Continuing to drive with the temperature gauge needle at the H mark may \
damage
the engine.

Tire Information
To safely operate your vehicle, your tires must be of the proper type and\
size, in good
condition with adequate tread, and properly inflated.
Inflation Guidelines
•
Properly inflated tires provide the best combination of handling, trea\
d life, and
comfort. Refer to the driver’

s doorjamb label or the specifications (see page
109) for the specified pressure.
•

Underinflated tires wear unevenly
, adversely affect handling and fuel economy,
and are more likely to fail from overheating.
•

Overinflated tires make your vehicle ride harshly
, are more prone to road
hazards, and wear unevenly.
•

Every day before you drive, look at each of the tires. If one looks lowe\
r than t
he
others, check the pressure with a tire gauge.
•

Measure the air pressure when tires are cold. This means the vehicle ha
s been
parked for at least 3 hours, or driven less than 1 mile (1.6 km). If n\
ecessary, add
or release air until the specified pressure is reached, and then calib\
rate the
system (see page 85). If checked when hot, tire pressure can be as muc\
h as
4–6 psi (30–40 kPa, 0.3–0.5 kgf/cm
2) higher than checked when cold.
•

At least once a month or before long trips, use a gauge to measure the p\
ressure
in all tires, including the spare. Even tires in good condition can lose\
1–2 ps

i
(10–20 kPa, 0.1–0.2 kgf/cm
2) per month.
Inspection Guidelines
Every time you inflate the tires, check for the following:
•

Any damage to tires, including bumps, bulges, cuts, splits, or cracks in\
t
he side
or tread. Remove any foreign objects and inspect for air leaks. Replace \
tires if
you see fabric or cord.
•

Uneven or excessive tread wear
. Have a dealer check the wheel alignment.
•

Cracks or other damage around the valve stems.
Wear IndicatorsThe groove where the wear indicator is located is
1/16 inch (1.6 mm) shallower than elsewhere on the
tire. If the tread has worn so low that the indicator is
exposed, replace the tire. Worn out tires have poor
traction on wet roads.
Example of a wear
indicator mark
Tire and Loading Information LabelThe label attached to the driver’s doorjamb provides necessary tire and
loading information. Using tires that are excessively worn or improperly inflated can cause\

a crash in which you can be seriously hurt or killed.
Follow all instructions in this owner’s manual regarding tire inflation
and maintenance
.

Tire and Wheel Replacement
Replace your tires with radials of the same size, load range, speed rati\
ng, and
maximum cold tire pressure rating (as shown on the tire’s sidewall). Using tires
of a different size or construction can cause certain vehicle systems to\
work
incorrectly. It is best to replace all four tires at the same time. If that isn’\
t possible,
replace the front or rear tires in pairs.
If you change or replace a wheel, make sure that the wheel’s specifications match
those of the original wheels.
Installing improper tires on your vehicle can affect handling and stabil\
ity.
This can cause a crash in which you can be seriously hurt or killed.
Always use the size and type of tires recommended in the Owner’s Manual.
