E00800101108
If
the vehicle breaks down on the road, move it to
the shoulder and turn on the hazard warning flash-
ers and set up a warning triangle, flashing lamp, etc.
Refer to “Hazard warning flasher switch” on page
3-50.
If the engine stops/fails
Vehicle operation and control are affected if the en-
gine stops.
Before moving the vehicle to a safe area, be aware
of the following:
l The brake booster becomes inoperative and
the pedal effort will increase. Press down the
brake pedal harder than usual.
l Since the power steering system is no longer
operative, the steering wheel feels heavy
when turning it. Emergency starting
E00800502503
If
the engine cannot be started because the battery
is weak or dead, the battery from another vehicle
can be used with jumper cables to start the engine. WARNING
l To
start the engine using jumper cables
connected to another vehicle, perform the
correct procedures according to the in-
struction below. Incorrect procedures
could result in a fire or explosion or dam-
age to the vehicles. CAUTION
l
Do
not attempt to start the engine by pull-
ing or pushing the vehicle.
It could damage your vehicle.
l Always wear protective eye goggles when
working near the battery.
l Keep the battery out of the reach of chil-
dren.
1. Get
the vehicles close enough so the jumper cables can reach, but be sure the vehicles
aren’t touching each other. CAUTION
l
Check
the other vehicle. It must have a 12-
volt battery.
If the other system isn’t 12-volt, shorting
can damage both vehicles. 2. Turn
off all lamps, heater and other electrical
loads.
3. Set the parking brake firmly on each vehicle. Put an A/T, CVT in “P” (PARK) or a M/T in
“N” (Neutral).
4. Turn the ignition switch to the “LOCK” posi- tion or put the operation mode in OFF. WARNING
l Perform
step 4 on both vehicles before-
hand.
Make sure that the cables or your clothes
cannot be caught by the fan or drive belt.
Personal injury could result.
5. Make
sure battery electrolyte is at the proper level.
Refer to “Battery” on page 8-08. WARNING
l If
electrolyte fluid is not visible, or ap-
pears to be frozen, Do Not Attempt Jump
Starting!
A battery might rupture or explode if the
temperature is below the freezing point
or if it is not filled to the proper level.
6. Connect
one end of one jumper cable to the positive (+) terminal of the discharged bat-
tery (A), and the other end to the positive (+)
terminal of the booster battery (B).

WARNING
l When the engine is not running, the
brake booster and power steering system
do not operate. This means higher brake
depression force and higher steering ef-
fort are required. Therefore, vehicle oper-
ation is more difficult than usual. CAUTION
l
Do
not leave the ignition switch in the
“LOCK” position or the operation mode
in OFF. The steering wheel will lock, caus-
ing loss of control.
3. Place
the gearshift lever in the “N” (Neutral) position (M/T) or the selector lever in the
“N” (NEUTRAL) position (CVT).
4. Turn on the hazard warning lamps if required by law.
(Follow the local driving laws and regula-
tions.) CAUTION
l
The
person in the vehicle being towed
must pay attention to the brake lamps of
the towing vehicle and make sure the
rope never becomes slack.
l Avoid sudden braking, sudden accelera-
tion and sharp turning; such operation
could cause damage to the towing hooks
or the tow rope.
People in the vicinity could be injured as
a result. CAUTION
l
When
towing or being towed down a long
slope, the brakes may overheat reducing
the effectiveness. In this situation, have
your vehicle transported by a tow truck.
l When the vehicle equipped with CVT is
to be towed by another vehicle with the
all wheels on the ground, make sure that
the towing speed and distance given be-
low are never exceeded, causing damage
to the transmission.

Towing speed: 40 km/h (25 mph)
Towing distance: 40 km (25 miles)

For the towing speed and the towing dis-
tance, follow the local driving laws and
regulations.
If your vehicle tows another vehicle 1. Take
out the towing hook, wheel nut wrench
and jack bar.
Refer to “Tools, jack and tyre repair kit” on
page 6-06. 2. Cover
the end of the jack bar (C) with cloth
and use it to remove the lid from the rear
bumper. 3. Use
the wheel nut wrench (D) to firmly at-
tach the towing hook. 4. Always
attach the tow rope to the towing
hook. Otherwise, the instructions are the
same as for “When being towed by another
vehicle”.
5. When finished towing, remove the towing hook, and stow it in the specified location. For emergencies
