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.

l Electrolyte is corrosive diluted sulphuric
acid. If electrolyte (battery acid) comes in-
to contact with your hands, eyes, clothes and the painted surface of your vehicle, it
should be thoroughly flushed with water. If electrolyte gets in your eyes, flush them with water immediately and thoroughly,and get prompt medical attention.NOTEl If the vehicle is put in motion without fully
charging the battery, it might cause the loss
of smooth engine operation and the anti-lock brake warning lamp to illuminate. Refer to
“Anti-lock brake system (ABS)” on page 6-41.Engine overheating
E00800603875
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.
l Be careful of hot steam, which could be
blowing off the reserve tank cap.
l Do not attempt to remove the radiator
cap while the engine is hot.

dropped to the normal temperature, stop the engine.
5. Check the coolant level in the reserve
tank (C).
WARNINGl If there is none, make sure that the engine
has cooled down before removing the ra-
diator cap (D), because hot steam or boil- ing water otherwise will gush from the filler port and may scald you.
6. Add coolant to the radiator and/or re-
serve tank if necessary. (Refer to the
“Maintenance” section.)
CAUTIONl Do not add coolant while the engine is hot.
Suddenly adding cold coolant could damage
the engine. Wait for the engine to cool
down, then add coolant a little at a time.
7. Examine the radiator hoses for coolant
leakage and the drive belt for looseness
or damage.
If there is anything wrong with the cool-
ing system or drive belt, we recommend
you to have it checked and repaired.
