WA R N I N G
●In the event that battery fluid comes
into contact with the skin or eyes,
immediately wash the affected area with water and seek medical atten-
tion. Place a wet sponge or cloth
over the affected area until medical attention can be received.
●Always wash your hands after han-
dling the battery support, terminals, and other battery-related parts.
●Do not allow children near the bat-tery.
■To prevent damage to the vehicle
Do not pull- or push-start the vehicle
as the three-way catalytic converter
may overheat and become a fire haz- ard.
NOTICE
■When handling jumper cables
Be careful that the jumper cables do
not become tangled in the cooling fans or any of the belts when connect-
ing or disconnecting them.
■When closing the doors
While pushing the door glass towards
the inside of the vehicle, slowly close the door.
Because the side window open/close
function linked to door operation will not operate, the window may interfere
with the vehicle body, possibly
scratching both the vehicle body and window, or even shattering the win-
dow.
If your vehicle overheats
The following may indicate that
your vehicle is overheating.
The engine coolant tempera-
ture gauge ( P.88) is in the
red zone or a loss of engine
power is experienced. (For
example, the vehicle speed
does not increase.)
“High Coolant Temperature

WA R N I N G
●If steam is seen coming from under
the hood, do not open the hood
until the steam has subsided. The engine compartment may be very
hot.
●Keep hands and clothing (espe-
cially a tie, a scarf or a muffler)
away from the fans and belts. Fail-
ure to do so may cause the hands or clothing to be caught, resulting in
serious injury.
●Do not loosen the coolant reservoir
caps while the engine and radiator
are hot. High temperature steam or coolant
could spray out.
NOTICE
■When adding engine coolant
Add coolant slowly after the engine
has cooled down sufficiently. Adding
cool coolant to a hot engine too
quickly can cause damage to the engine.
■To prevent damage to the cooling system
Observe the following precautions:
●Avoid contaminating the coolant
with foreign matter (such as sand or
dust etc.).
●Do not use any coolant additive.
