HANDLING THE UNEXPECTED
HANDLING THE UNEXPECTED
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. 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 hig\
h
temperature indicator goes off. If the cooling fan is not operating, imm\
ediately
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 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.
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 radiato\
r cap.
WARNING
Continuing to drive with the temperature gauge needle at the H mark may \
damage
the engine.

MIN
Emergency Engine Stop*
The ENGINE START/STOP button may be used to stop the engine due to an
emergency situation even while driving. Do not press the button while driving unless
it is absolutely necessary for the engine to be switched off. If you mus\
t stop the
engine, choose one of the following operations:
•
Press and hold the ENGINE START/STOP button for
two seconds, or
•
Firmly press the ENGINE START/STOP button two
times.
The steering wheel will remain unlocked. However, turning off the engine disables
the power assist to the steering and braking systems, so the vehicle wil\
l

require
significantly more effort and time to steer and slow. Downshift gears and use both
feet on the brake pedal, if necessary, to slow the vehicle and stop immediately in a
safe place.
For CVT models, the power mode changes to ACCESSORY. Manual transmission
models change to OFF.
Canadian CVT models
Then press the ENGINE START/STOP button two times without pressing the brake
pedal.
Emergency Towing
Call a professional towing service if you need to tow your vehicle.
Flat bed equipment: The operator loads your vehicle on the back of a tru\
ck. This is
the best way to transport your vehicle.
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.
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.

Inspecting and Changing Fuses
1.
Turn the vehicle off, including all lights and
accessories.
2.
Check the fuses on the battery in the engine
compartment. If the fuse is blown, have it
replaced by a dealer.
3.
Remove the fuse box cover.
4.
Inspect the small fuses in the engine
compartment and the vehicle interior.
If there is a burned-out fuse, remove it with the
fuse puller and replace it with a new one.
5.
Check the large fuse in the engine compartment.
If the fuse is blown, use a Phillips-head
screwdriver to remove the screw and replace the
fuse with a new one. Reinstall the screw.
Replacing a fuse with one that has a higher rating greatly increases the\
chances
of damaging the electrical system.
