[Be sure the gear is in P (Park). The
vehicle starts only when the gear is in
P (Park).

[Check the 12-volt battery connections
to be sure they are clean and tight.

[Turn on the interior light. If the light
dims or goes out when you operate
the starter, the 12V battery is drained.
Do not push or pull the vehicle to start it.
This could cause damage to your vehicle.
See instructions for “Jump Starting”
provided in this chapter.
If you have a Flat Tire while
Driving
If a tire goes flat while you are driving:

[Take your foot off the accelerator
pedal and let the vehicle slow down
while driving straight ahead. Do not
apply the brakes immediately or
attempt to pull off the road as this
may cause loss of vehicle control
resulting in an accident. When the
vehicle has slowed to such a speed
that it is safe to do so, brake carefully
and pull off the road. Drive off the
road as far as possible and park on
firm, level ground. If you are on a
divided highway, do not park in the
median area between the two traffic
lanes.

[When the vehicle is stopped, press
the hazard warning flasher button,
shift the gear to P (Park), apply the
regenerative brake, and press the
Start/Stop button to the OFF position.

[Have all passengers get out of the
vehicle. Be sure they all get out on the
side of the vehicle that is away from
traffic.

[When changing a flat tire, follow the
instructions provided later in this
chapter.

Emergency Situations
Jump starting can be dangerous if done
incorrectly. Follow the jump starting
procedure in this section to avoid serious
injury or damage to your vehicle. If in
doubt about how to properly jump start
your vehicle, have a service technician or
towing service do it for you.
WARNING
To prevent SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH
to you or bystanders, always follow
these precautions when working near
or handling the battery:
Always read and follow
instructions carefully when
handling a battery.
Wear eye protection designed
to protect the eyes from acid
splashes.
Keep all flames, sparks, or
smoking materials away from
the battery.
Hydrogen is always present
in battery cells, is highly
combustible, and may explode
if ignited.
Keep batteries out of reach of
children.
Batteries contain sulfuric acid
which is highly corrosive. Do
not allow acid to contact your
eyes, skin or clothing.
If acid gets into your eyes,
flush your eyes with clean
water for at least 15 minutes
and get immediate medical
attention. If acid gets on
your skin, thoroughly wash
the area. If you feel pain or a
burning sensation, get medical
attention immediately.

cable may cause an explosion.

[Be sure to use only 12V battery to
jump start. Using batteries with other
voltages to jump start can damage
the battery or even provoke an
explosion.
WARNING

[Keep sparks away from the battery as
the explosive gas is generated by the
sparks while the battery is running.

[When connecting the supplementary
battery and the discharged battery
with a jump cable because the
jump start does not operate with
jump start terminal in the motor
compartment, do not directly
connect the (-) to the jump cable.
Connect the (-) to the one of the
metallic parts located far from the
jump cable in the vehicle. The direct
(-) connection to the jumpcable may
cause an explosion.

[The battery contains dilute sulfuric
acid, which is highly corrosive, so be
careful not to let the battery liquid
get on your body, clothes, or car
body. If dilute sulfuric acid gets on
your body or eyes, immediately rinse
the area with clean water for about
15 minutes and then consult a doctor.
Jump starting procedure
Information

contact anything except the correct
battery or jumper terminals or the
correct ground. Do not lean over the
battery when making connections.
WARNING
Do not connect the jumper cable to
the negative (-) jumper terminal of the
discharged battery. A spark could cause
the battery to explode and lead to a
personal injury or vehicle damage.
10. Start the assisting vehicle and let
it run at approximately for a few
minutes. Then start your vehicle.
11. Keep your vehicle operating for at
least 30 minutes at idle or driving to
