HANDLING THE UNEXPECTED
HANDLING THE UNEXPECTED
Overheating
If your engine is overheating, one of two messages will appear on the multi-
information display. Immediately park the vehicle in a safe place. Move the shift
lever to (P) and set the parking brake. Turn off all accessories and turn on the hazard
warning lights.
High Temperature. Power Reduced.
Keep the power mode on and wait until the message disappears. Have your \
vehicle checked by a dealer if the message remains on.
Engine Temperature Too Hot.
•
If steam or spray is present: Turn off the power system and wait until the steam
or spray stops. Then, open the hood.
•
No steam or spray present: Keep the power system on and open the hood.
Check that the cooling fan is operating and stop the power system once t\
he
engine Temperature T

oo Hot message disappears. If the cooling fan is not
operating, immediately turn off the vehicle.
once the engine has cooled, inspect the coolant
level and check the cooling system components for
leaks. If the coolant level in the reserve tank is low,
add coolant until it reaches the MAX mark. If there is
no coolant in the reserve tank, make sure the radiator
is cool, then cover the radiator cap 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, turn the power system on. If the
overheating message disappears, resume driving. If it remains on, contac\
t

a
dealer for repairs.
engine

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 t\
o
spray out, seriously scalding you.
Always let the engine and radiator cool down before removing the radiato\
r cap.
WARNING
Emergency Power System Stop
The PoWer button may be used to stop the power system due to an emergency
situation even while driving. If you must stop the power system, choose \
one of the
following operations:
•
Press and hold the PoWer button for two seconds,
or
•
Firmly press the PoWer button two times.
The power mode will change to ACC
eSSorY, or to oFF
if the transmission is in Park (P).
The power assist to the steering and braking will be disabled. Therefore\
, it will
require significantly more physical effort and time to steer and slow \
the

vehicle.
Downshift gears and use both feet on the brake pedal, if necessary, to slow the
vehicle and stop immediately in a safe place.
Trying to lift or tow your vehicle by the bumpers will cause serious dama\
ge. The
bumpers are not designed to support the vehicle’s weight.
Improper towing such as towing behind a motorhome or other motor vehicle\
can
damage the transmission.
NOTICE
Emergency Towing
Call a professional towing service if you need to tow your vehicle.
Flat bed equipment: The operator loads your vehicle on the back of a tru\
ck. This is
the best way to transport your vehicle.
Wheel lift equipment: The tow truck uses two pivoting arms that go under the front
tires and lift them off the ground. The rear tires remain on the ground.\
This is an
acceptable way to tow your vehicle. Do not press the button while driving unless it is absolutely necessary \
for the
power system to be switched off.

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
143) 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 lower\
than the
others, check the pressure with a tire gauge.
•
Measure the air pressure when tires are cold. This means the vehicle has 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 120). If checked when hot, tire pressure can be as mu\
ch 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 psi
(10–20 kPa, 0.1–0.2 kgf/cm2) 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\
the 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 Indicators The 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.
Examples of
wear indicator
marks
Tire and Loading Information Label
The 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
.
WARNING
Tire and Wheel Replacement
replace your tires with radials of the same size, load range, speed ratin\
g, 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.
only use TPMS-specified wheels approved for your
vehicle.

Installing improper tires on your vehicle can affect handling and stabil\

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.
