If the vehicle breaks downE00800101179
If the vehicle breaks down on the road, move it to the shoulder and use the hazard warning
flashers and/or the warning triangle etc. Refer
to “Hazard warning flasher switch” on page 5-42.
If the engine stops/fails
Vehicle operation and control are affected if
the engine 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 pump is no lon-
ger operative, the steering wheel feelsheavy when turning it.
Emergency starting
E00800504318
If the engine cannot be started because thebattery is weak or dead, the battery from an-other vehicle can be used with jumper cables to start the engine.
WARNINGl To start the engine using jumper cables
connected from another vehicle, perform
the correct procedures according to the instruction below. Incorrect procedures could result in a fire or explosion or dam-
age to the vehicles.CAUTIONl Do not attempt to start the engine by pulling
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 children.
1.
Get the vehicles close enough so the
jumper cables can reach, but be sure the vehicles aren’t touching each other.
CAUTIONl 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. Set the parking brake firmly on each ve-
hicle. Put an A/T in “P” (PARK) or an
M/T in “N” (Neutral). Turn off the igni-
tion switch.WARNINGl Turn off the ignition on both vehicles be-
forehand. Make sure that the cables or your clothes cannot be caught by the fan
or drive belt. Personal injury could result.
3. Turn off all lamps, heater and other elec-
trical loads.
4. Make sure battery electrolyte is at the
proper level.
Refer to “Battery” on page 10-09.
WARNINGl 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.
5. Connect one end of one jumper cable to
the positive (+) terminal of the dis-charged battery (A or B), and the other
end to the positive (+) terminal of the booster battery (C).

*: Optional equipment
6. Connect one end of the other jumper cable to the negative (-) terminal of the booster bat-
tery (C), and the other end to the engine
block of the vehicle with the discharged bat- tery at the point farthest from the battery.WARNINGl Be sure to observe the connecting se-
quence of .
l Make sure that the connection
is made
to the appointed position (shown in the il-
lustration). If the connection is made di-
rectly to the negative side of the battery, the inflammable gasses generated from the battery might catch fire and explode.
WARNINGl When connecting the jumper cable, do
not connect the positive (+) cable to the negative (-) terminal. Otherwise sparks
might cause explosion of the battery.

CAUTIONlTake care not to get the jumper cable caught
in the cooling fan or other rotating part in
the engine compartment.
l Use the proper cables suitable for the battery
size to prevent overheating of the cables.
l Check the jumper cables for damage and
corrosion before use.
7. Start the engine in the vehicle which has
the booster battery, let the engine idle a few
minutes, then start the engine in the vehicle
with the discharged battery.
CAUTIONl Keep the engine of the vehicle giving assis-
tance running.
8. After the engine is started, disconnect the
cables in the reverse order and keep the en-
gine running for several minutes.
WARNINGl If the battery has to be charged while fit-
ted in the vehicle, disconnect the vehicle side negative (-) terminal connected to the
battery.
l Keep sparks, cigarettes and flames away
from the battery because the battery may
produce an explosion.WARNINGl Use adequate ventilation when charging
or using the battery in an enclosed space.
l Remove all the caps before charging the
battery.
l Electrolyte is corrosive diluted sulphuric
acid.
If electrolyte (battery acid) comes into contact with your hands, eyes, clothes and
the painted surface of your vehicle, it should be thoroughly flushed with water.If electrolyte gets in your eyes, flush them
with water immediately and thoroughly, and get prompt medical attention.NOTEl If the vehicle is put in motion without fully
charging the battery, it might cause the loss
of smooth engine operation and the anti-lock brake warning lamp to illuminate.
Refer to “Anti-lock brake system (ABS)” on
page 6-37.Engine overheating
E00800603875
If the water temperature gauge indication re-
mains in the overheating zone for a long
time, the engine may be overheating. If this occurs, take the following corrective meas-
ures: 1. Stop the vehicle in a safe place.
2. Check whether steam is coming from the
engine compartment.

[If steam does not come from the engine
compartment]
With the engine still running, raise the bonnet to ventilate the engine compart-
ment.

[If steam is coming from the engine
compartment]
Stop the engine, and when the steam
stops, raise the bonnet to ventilate the
engine compartment. Restart the engine.WARNINGl Do not open the bonnet while steam is
coming from the engine compartment. It
could cause steam or hot water to spurt out, causing burns. Hot water could spurt
out even when there is no steam coming out, and some parts will be very hot. Be
very careful when opening the bonnet.
l Be careful of hot steam, which could be
blowing off the reserve tank cap.
l Do not attempt to remove the radiator
cap while the engine is hot.
Engine overheating

3.Confirm that the cooling fan is turning.
If the fan is not turning, stop the engine
immediately and have it checked.
A- Radiator fan B- Air conditioning condenser fan (if so equipped)
*: Front of the vehicle
WARNINGl Be careful not to get your hands or clothes
caught in the cooling fan.
4. After the engine coolant temperature has
dropped to the normal temperature, stop the engine.
5. Check the coolant level in the reserve
tank (C).
WARNINGl If there is none, make sure that the engine
has cooled down before removing the ra-
diator cap (D), because hot steam or boil- ing water otherwise will gush from the filler port and may scald you.
6. Add coolant to the radiator and/or re-
serve tank if necessary. (Refer to the
“Maintenance” section.)
CAUTIONl Do not add coolant while the engine is hot.
Suddenly adding cold coolant could damage
the engine. Wait for the engine to cool
down, then add coolant a little at a time.
7. Examine the radiator hoses for coolant
leakage and the drive belt for looseness
or damage.
If there is anything wrong with the cool-
ing system or drive belt, we recommend
you to have it checked and repaired.

Bleeding the fuel system(diesel-powered vehicles
only) E00800700149
The fuel system should be bled to remove air
as described below if the fuel supply is ex- hausted during travel.

Pump the hand pump (A) at the top of the fuel filter until the hand pump becomes stiff.
Then try again to start the engine.
If the engine does not start, repeat the process
above.Removal of water from the
fuel filter (diesel-powered
vehicles only) E00800800140
If the fuel filter indication lamp in the instru- ment panel illuminates during driving, it indi-
cates that water has accumulated in the fuel filter. If this occurs, remove the water as de-
scribed below. 1. Loosen the drain plug (A) at the bottom
of the fuel filter.2. Operate the hand pump (B) slowly 6 or 7
times in order to force the water out
through the drain plug.
3. Tighten the drain plug when water no
longer comes out.
4. Bleed the air in the fuel system. (Refer to “Bleeding the fuel system” onpage 8-06.)
5. Check to be sure that the fuel filter indi-
cation lamp illuminates when the igni-
tion switch is turned to “ON”, and that it goes off when the engine is started. If in
doubt, we recommend you to have your vehicle inspected.
CAUTIONl Do not smoke or have any other open flame
near the vehicle while bleeding the fuel sys- tem.
