in the cooling fan or other rotating part in
the engine compartment.
l Use the proper cables suitable for the battery
size to prevent overheating of the cables.
l Check the jumper cables for damage and
corrosion before use.
7. 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.
8. After the engine is started, disconnect
the cables in the reverse order and keep the engine running for several minutes.
WARNINGl If the battery has to be charged while fit-
ted in the vehicle, 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.WARNINGl Use adequate ventilation when charging
or using the battery in an enclosed space.
l Remove all the caps before charging the
battery.
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.

CAUTION•Maintain a distance of approx. 50 cm
or
more between the vehicle body and the washing nozzle.
• When washing around the door glass,
hold the nozzle at a distance of more than
50 cm and at right angles to the glass sur- face.
l After washing the vehicle, drive the vehicle
slowly while lightly depressing the brake
pedal several times in order to dry out the
brakes.
Leaving the brakes wet could result in re- duced braking performance. Also, there is a
possibility that they could freeze up or be- come inoperative due to rust, rendering the vehicle unable to move.
l When using an automatic car wash, pay at-
tention to the following items, referring to the operation manual or consulting a car
wash operator. If the following procedure is not followed, it could result in damage to
your vehicle.
• The outside mirrors are retracted.
• The wiper arm assembly is taped.
• If your vehicle is equipped with a rear de-
flector or roof rails, consult a car wash operator before using the car wash.
• If your vehicle has rain sensor wipers,
place the wiper switch lever in the “OFF” position to deactivate the rain sensor.During cold weather
Salt and other chemicals spread on the roads
in some areas in winter can have a harmful effect on the vehicle body. You should there-
fore wash the vehicle as often as possible in accordance with our care-instructions. It is
recommended to have a preservative applied
and the underfloor protection checked before and after the cold weather season.
After washing your vehicle, wipe off all wa- terdrops from the rubber parts around the
doors to prevent the doors from freezing.
NOTEl To prevent freezing of the weatherstripping
on the doors, bonnet, etc., they should be treated with silicone spray.Waxing
E00901000560
Waxing the vehicle will help prevent the ad-
herence of dust and road chemicals to the paintwork. Apply a wax solution after wash- ing the vehicle, or at least once every three
months to assist displacing of water.
Do not wax your vehicle in direct sunlight.
You should wax after the surfaces have
cooled.
CAUTIONl Waxes containing high abrasive compounds
should not be used. Such waxes remove rust and stains effectively from the paintwork but
they are harmful to the lustre on the painted
surface and the plated surface.
Further, they are harmful to glossy surfaces such as grille, garnish, mouldings, etc.
l Do not use petrol or paint thinners to remove
road tar or other contamination to the vehi-
cle surface.
l Do not apply wax on the areas having black
mat coating as it can cause uneven discolou-
ration, patches, blurs, etc. If stained with wax, immediately wipe off with a piece of
soft cloth and warm water.
l On vehicles with a sunroof, be careful when
waxing the area around the sunroof opening, not to put any wax on the weatherstrip
(black rubber). If stained with wax, the weatherstrip cannot maintain a weatherproof
seal with the sunroof.Polishing
E00901100024
The vehicle should only be polished if the
paintwork has become stained or lost its lus- tre. Matt-finish parts and plastic bumpers
must not be polished, polishing these parts will stain them or damage their finish.

3000 models3200 models3800 models
The engine oil used has a significant effect on the engine’s performance, service life and
startability. Be sure to use oil of the recom-
mended quality and appropriate viscosity.
All engines consume a certain amount of oil during normal operation. Therefore, it is im-portant to check the oil level at regular inter-
vals or before starting a long trip. 1. Park the vehicle on a horizontal surface.
2. Switch off the engine.
3. Wait a few minutes.

General maintenanceE01002700360
Fuel, engine coolant, oil and ex- haust gas leakage
Look under the body of your vehicle to check
for fuel, engine coolant, oil and exhaust gas
leaks.
WARNINGl If you see a suspicious fuel leak or if you
smell fuel, do not operate the vehicle; we recommend you to call for assistance.
Exterior and interior lamp op-
eration
Operate the combination lamp switch to
check that all lamps are functioning properly.
If the lamps do not illuminate, the probable cause is a blown fuse or defective lamp bulb.
Check the fuses first. If there is no blown
fuses, check the lamp bulbs.
For information regarding the inspection and
replacement of the fuses and the lamp bulbs, refer to “Fuses” on page 10-20 and “Re-
placement of lamp bulbs” on page 10-24.
If the fuses and bulbs are all OK, we recom- mend you to have your vehicle checked and
repaired.
Meter, gauge and indicator/
warning lamps operation
Run the engine to check the operation of all meters, gauges, and indicator/warning lamps.
If there is anything wrong, we recommend you to have your vehicle inspected.
Hinges and latches lubrication
Check all latches and hinges, and, if necessa- ry, have them lubricated.
For cold and snowy weather
E01002800299
Ventilation slots
The ventilation slots in front of the wind-
screen should be kept clear of leaves or brushed clear after heavy snowfall, so that
the operation of the heating and ventilation
systems will not be impaired.
Weatherstripping
To prevent freezing of the weatherstripping
on the doors, bonnet, etc., they should be treated with silicone grease.
Additional equipment
It is a good idea to carry a shovel or a short-
handled spade in the vehicle during the win-ter so that you can clear away snow if you get
stranded. A small hand-brush for sweeping snow off the vehicle and a plastic scraper for
the windscreen and rear window are also use- ful.
Fusible links
E01002900434
The fusible links will melt to prevent a fire if
a large current attempts to flow through cer- tain electrical systems.
In case of a melted fusible link, we recom- mend you to have your vehicle inspected.For the fusible links, please refer to “Fuse
load capacity” on page 10-20.
WARNINGl Fusible links must not be replaced by any
other device. Failing to fit the correct fusi- ble link may result in fire in the vehicle,
property destruction and serious or fatal injuries at any time.
