What to do in an emergency
Your vehicle is equipped with emer
gency commodities to help you
respond to emergency situation.
Fire extinguisher
If there is small fire and you know
how to use the fire extinguisher, fol
low these steps carefully.
1. Pull out the safety pin at the top of the extinguisher that keeps the
handle from being accidentallypressed.
2. Aim the nozzle towards the base of the fire.
3. Stand approximately 2.5 m (8 ft) away from the fire and squeeze
the handle to discharge the extin
guisher. If you release the handle,
the discharge will stop.
4. Sweep the nozzle back and forth at the base of the fire. After the fire
appears to be out, watch carefully
since it may reignite.
First aid kit
Supplies for use in giving first aid
such as scissors, bandage and
adhesive tape, etc. are provided.
Triangle reflector
Place the triangle reflector on the
road to warn oncoming vehicles dur
ing emergencies, such as when the
vehicle is parked by the roadside due
to problems.
Tire pressure gauge
(if equipped)
Tires normally lose some air in day
today use, and you may have to add
a air periodically and usually it is not
a sign of a leaking tire, but of normal
wear. Always check tire pressure
when the tires are cold because tire
pressure increases with tempera
ture. To check the tire pressure, take the
following steps:
1. Unscrew the inflation valve cap
that is located on the rim of the
tire.
2. Press and hold the gauge against the tire valve. Some air will leak as
you begin and more will leak if you
don't press the gauge in firmly.
3. A firm nonleaking push will acti vate the gauge.
4. Read the tire pressure on the gauge to see whether the tire
pressure is low or high.
5. Adjust the tire pressure to the specified pressure. Refer to "Tires
and Wheels" in chapter 8.
6. Reinstall the inflation valve cap.

Maintenance
ENGINE COOlANT
The highpressure cooling system
has a reservoir filled with yearround
antifreeze coolant. The reservoir is
filled at the factory.
Check the antifreeze protection and
coolant level at least once a year, at
the beginning of the winter season,
and before traveling to a colder cli
mate.
•Do not drive with no engine
coolant. It may cause water pump
failure and engine seizure, etc.
•When the engine overheats from
low engine coolant, suddenly
adding engine coolant may cause
cracks in the engine. To prevent
damage, add engine coolant slow
ly in small quantities.
Checking the coolant level
NOTICE
Removing radiator cap
•Never attempt to
remove the radiator cap while
the engine is operating or hot.
Doing so might lead to cooling
system and engine damage and
could result in serious personal
injury from escaping hot coolant
or steam.
(Continued)
WARNING
(Continued)
•Turn the engine off and wait until
it cools down. Use extreme care
when removing the radiator cap.
Wrap a thick towel around it,
and turn it counterclockwise
slowly to the first stop. Step
back while the pressure is
released from the cooling sys
tem. When you are sure all the
pressure has been released,
press down on the cap, using a
thick towel, and continue turning
counterclockwise to remove it.
•Even if the engine is not operat
ing, do not remove the radiator
cap or the drain plug while the
engine and radiator are hot. Hot
coolant and steam may still blow
out under pressure, causing
serious injury.
