HANDLING THE UNEXPECTED
HANDLING THE UNEXPECTED
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 ground.
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.
5. Have your vehicle inspected by a nearby service station or a dealer.
Overheating
If the temperature gauge needle is at the H mark, the engine suddenly loses power, 
or steam or spray comes out from under the hood, your engine is overheat\
ing.
1. Immediately park the vehicle in a safe place. Turn 
off all accessories and turn on the hazard warning 
lights.
2. If steam or spray is not present: Keep the engine
running and open the hood.
 If steam or spray is present: Turn off the engine and
wait until it subsides. Then, open the hood.
3. Check that the cooling fan is operating and stop the engine once the tem\
perature
gauge needle comes down. If the cooling fan is not operating, immediately stop 
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 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 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 temperature gauge.
If the temperature needle has gone down, resume driving. If it has not gone down, 
contact a dealer for repairs.

A battery can explode if you do not follow the correct procedure, seriously 
injuring anyone nearby.
Keep all sparks, open flames, and smoking materials away from the battery.
WARNING
Jump Starting
Turn off the power to electric devices, such as audio and lights. Turn off the engine,
then open the hood.
1. Connect the first jumper cable to your vehicle’s 
battery (+) terminal.
2. Connect the other end of the first jumper cable 
to the booster battery (+) terminal. Use a 12-volt 
booster battery only.
3. Connect the second jumper cable to the booster 
battery (-) terminal.
4. Connect the other end of the second jumper cable 
to the engine mounting bolt as shown. Do not 
connect this jumper cable to any other part.
5. If your vehicle is connected to another vehicle, 
start the assisting vehicle’s engine and increase its
rpm slightly.
6. Attempt to start your vehicle’s engine. If it turns over slowly, make sure that the 
jumper cables have good metal-to-metal contact.
WARNING: Battery posts, terminals, and related accessories contain lead and lead\

compounds. Wash your hands after handling.
Booster battery
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 \
to
spray out, seriously scalding you.
Always let the engine and radiator cool down before removing the radiator cap.
WARNING
Continuing to drive with the temperature gauge needle at the H mark may \
damage
the engine.

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, tread life, and 
comfort. Refer to the driver’s doorjamb label or the specifications (see page 
140) 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 necessary, add 
or release air until the specified pressure is reached, and then calibrate the 
system (see page 115). If checked when hot, tire pressure can be as much as 
4–6 psi (30–40 kPa, 0.3–0.5 kgf/cm2) higher than checked when cold.
• 
At least once a month or before long trips, use a gauge to measure the pressure 
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.
