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 stud bolt.
2.

Disconnect the other end of the jumper cable from the assisting vehicle’\
s (-)
terminal.
3.

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

Disconnect the other end of the jumper cable from the assisting vehicle’\
s (+)
terminal.

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

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.

Emergency Engine Stop*
The ENGINE START/STOP button may be used to stop the engine due to an
emergency situation even while driving. If you must stop the engine, cho\
ose one of
the following operations:
•

Press and hold the ENGINE ST
ART/STOP button for
two seconds, or
•

Firmly press the ENGINE ST
ART/STOP button two
times.
The steering wheel will not lock. The power mode changes to ACCESSORY (\
or OFF
for manual transmission), unless the shift lever is in Park (P), in w\
hich case the
power mode changes to VEHICLE OFF.
Because turning off the engine also disables the power assist the engine\
provides
to the steering and braking systems, it will require significantly mor\
e physical effort
and time to steer and slow the vehicle. Downshift gears and use both fee\
t on the
brake pedal, if necessary, to slow the vehicle and stop immediately in a safe place.
Do not press the button while driving unless it is absolutely necessary \
for the engine
to be switched off.
*if equipped
Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)
U.S.models
Monitors the tire pressure while you are driving. If
your vehicle’s tire pressure becomes significantly low,
the low tire pressure indicator comes on.
Stop your vehicle in a safe place. Check the tire
pressure and adjust the pressure to the specified
level. The specified tire pressure is on a label on the
driver’s doorjamb.
TPMS Calibration Any time you inflate, change, or rotate one of more
of the tires, you need to recalibrate the system.
Press and hold the TPMS button. The TPMS
indicator blinks, and calibration begins.
Driving on an extremely underinflated tire can cause it to overheat. A\
n overheated
tire can fail. Always inflate your tires to the specified pressure.
NOTICE
TPMS button
Low tire pressure/TPMS indicator
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.
All models
Flat bed equipment: The operator loads your vehicle on the back of a tru\
ck. This is
the best way to transport your vehicle.
2WD models
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.
