If the Battery Is Dead

NOTICE

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

Securely attach the jumper cables clips so that they 
do not come off when the engine 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.

Battery performance degrades in cold conditions and 
may prevent the engine from starting.

WARNING

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.

Overheating

How to Handle Overheating

Overheating symptoms are as follows:

•

The temperature gauge needle is at upper level or the engine suddenly loses 
power.

•

Steam or spray comes out of the engine compartment.

■

First thing to do

1.

Immediately park the vehicle in a safe place.

2.

Turn off all accessories and turn on the hazard warning lights.

u

No steam or spray present:

Keep the engine running and open the bonnet.

Steam or spray is present:

Turn off the engine and wait until it subsides. Then open the bonnet.

1

How to Handle Overheating

NOTICE

Continuing to drive with the temperature gauge 
needle at upper level may damage the engine.

Next thing to do

1.

Check that the cooling fan is operating and 
stop the engine once the temperature 
gauge needle comes down.

u

If the cooling fan is not operating, 
immediately stop the engine.

2.

Once the engine has cooled down, inspect 
the coolant level and check the cooling 
system components for leaks.

u

If the coolant level in the reserve tank is 
low, add coolant until it reaches the 

MAX

 mark.

u

If there is no coolant in the reserve tank, 
check that the radiator is cool. Cover the 
reserve tank cap 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.

■

Last thing to do

Once the engine has cooled sufficiently, restart it and check the temperature gauge. 
If the temperature gauge needle has gone down, 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.

3

WARNING

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.

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 necessary, downshift 
the gears.

If the brake system indicator (red) and
