Jump Starting
Turn off the power to electric devices, such as the audio and lights. Turn off the 
engine, then open the hood. 1.Open the terminal cover on your vehicle’s 
battery positive  + terminal.
2. Connect the first jumper cable to your 
vehicle's battery  + terminal.
3. Connect the other end of the first jumper 
cable to the booster battery  + terminal.
u Use a 12-volt booster battery only.
u When using an automotive battery 
charger to boost your 12-volt battery, 
select a lower charging voltage than 
15-volts. Check the charger manual for 
the proper setting.
4. Connect the second jumper cable to the 
booster battery -  terminal.
■Jump Starting Procedure1Jump Starting
Securely attach the jumper cables clips so that they 
do not come off when the e ngine vibrates. Also be 
careful not to tangle the ju mper cables or allow the 
cable ends to touch each other while attaching or 
detaching the jumper cables.
Battery performance degrades  in cold conditions and 
may prevent the engi ne from starting.
3WARNING
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.

6. If your vehicle is connected to another 
vehicle, start the assisting vehicle's engine 
and increase its rpm slightly.
7. Attempt to start your vehicle's engine. If it 
turns over slowly, check that the jumper 
cables have good metal-to-metal contact.

■Next thing to do
1.Check that the cooling fan is operating and 
stop the engine once the temperature 
gauge needle goes down.
u If the cooling fan is not operating, 
immediately stop the engine.
2. Once the engine has cooled down, inspect 
the coolant level, an d check the cooling 
system components for leaks.
u If the coolant level, in the reserve tank is 
low, or no coolant in the tank, check that 
the radiator is cool . Cover the reserve 
tank cap with a hea vy cloth and open the 
cap. Add coolant until it reaches the 
MAX  mark and put the cap back on.
■Last thing to do
Once the engine has cooled sufficiently , restart it, and check the temperature 
gauge.
If the temperature gauge needle has gone do wn, resume driving. If it has not gone 
down, contact a dealer for repairs.
1 How to Handle Overheating
If the coolant is leaking, contact a dealer for repairs.
Use water as an emergency/temporary measure only. 
Have a dealer flush the system with proper antifreeze 
as soon as possible.
3WARNING
Removing the reserve tank 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 reserve tank 
cap.

Handling the Unexpected
If the Brake System Indicator (Red) Comes On or Blinks
■Reasons for the indicator to come on
• The brake fluid is low.
• There is a malfunction in the brake system.
■What to do when the indicator comes on while driving
Depress the brake pedal lightly to check pedal pressure.
• If normal, check the brake fluid  level the next time you stop.
• If abnormal, take immediate acti on. If necessary, downshift the 
transmission to slow the vehicle using engine braking.
■Reason for the indicator to blink
• There is a problem with the  electric parking brake system.
■What to do when the indicator blinks
Avoid using the parking brake and have your vehicle checked by a dealer 
immediately.
1 If the Brake System Indicator (Red) Comes On or Blinks
Have your vehicle re paired immediately.
It is dangerous to drive with  low brake fluid. If there 
is no resistance from  the brake pedal, stop 
immediately in a safe plac e. If necessary, downshift 
the gears.
If the brake system indicator and  ABS indicator come 
on simultaneously, the elec tronic brake distribution 
system is not working. Th is can result in vehicle 
instability under sudden braking.
Have your vehicle inspecte d by a dealer immediately.
If the brake system indicator (red) blinks at the same 
time when the brake system indicator (amber) comes 
on, the parking br ake may not work.
Avoid using the parking brak e and have your vehicle 
checked by a dealer immediately.

Information
Emissions Testing
Testing of Readiness Codes
Your vehicle has readiness code as part of the onboard self diagnostic system.
Some States use these codes for testing to verify whether your vehicle's emissions 
components are working properly.
The codes may not be read properly if testing is performed just after the battery has 
gone dead or been disconnected.
To check if they are set, tu rn the ignition switch to ON 
(w*1, without starting the 
engine. The malfunction indicator lamp will co me on for several seconds. If it then 
goes off, the readiness codes are set. If it  blinks five times, the readiness codes are 
not set.
If you are required to have your vehicle te sted before the readiness codes are ready, 
prepare the vehicle for retest ing by doing the following:
1. Fill the gas tank to approximately 3/4 full.
2. Park the vehicle and leave the engine off for 6 hours or more.
3. Make sure the ambient temperature is between 40°F and 95°F (4°C and 35°C).
4. Start the engine without touching the ac celerator pedal, and let it idle for 20 
seconds.
5. Keep the vehicle in 
(P. Increase the engine speed to  2,000 rpm, and hold it there 
for about 3 minutes.
6. Let the engine idle with your foot  off the accelerator for 20 seconds.
*1: Models with the smart entry system have an  ENGINE START/STOP button instead of an 
ignition switch.
1 Testing of Readiness Codes
The readiness codes are erased when the battery is 
disconnected, and set again onl y after several days of 
driving under a variety of conditions.
If a testing facility determines that the readiness 
codes are not set, you may be  requested to return at 
a later date to complete the test.
If the testing facility determines the readiness codes 
are still not set, see a dealer.
