Jump Starting Procedure

1

If the 12-Volt Battery Is Dead

NOTICE

If a 12-volt battery sits in extreme cold, the electrolyte 
inside can freeze. Attempting to jump start with a 
frozen 12-volt battery can cause it to rupture.

Securely attach the jumper cables clips so that they 
do not come off when the power system vibrates. 
Also be careful not to tangle the jumper cables or 
allow the cable ends to touch each other while 
attaching or detaching the jumper cables.

WARNING

A 12-volt 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 12-volt 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 power 
system. If it isn’t turn on, check that the 
jumper cables have good metal-to-metal 
contact.

If the 12-Volt Battery Is Dead

12-volt battery performance degrades in cold 
conditions and may prevent the power system from 
starting.

Do not force the door to open or close.

There is a mechanism that lowers the window when 
the door is opened. If the 12-volt battery has died 
and the window cannot be lowered, it may scrape 
against the vehicle body when the door is opened or 
closed. If this happens, slowly open or close the door 
while pressing down on the upper part of the 
window.

If the Brake System Indicator (Red) Comes On or Blinks

Have your vehicle repaired immediately.
It is dangerous to drive with low brake fluid. If there 
is no resistance from the brake pedal, stop 
immediately in a safe place.

If the Brake System Indicator (Red) and 

ABS

 indicator 

come on simultaneously, the electronic brake 
distribution system is not working. This can result in 
vehicle instability under sudden braking.
Have your vehicle inspected 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 brake may not work.
Avoid using the parking brake and have your vehicle 
checked by a dealer immediately.

P. 658

If you repeatedly operate the electric parking brake in 
a short period of time, the brake stops operating to 
prevent heating of the system and the indicator 
blinks.
It returns to its original state in approximately 1
