IN CASE OF EMERGENCY 6–5
WARNING
A wheel can slacken or come off if
the incorrect wheel bolts are used or
if they are improperly tightened and
cause loss of vehicle control.
• Use correct wheel bolts.
• Make wheel bolts fit tightly and
seated correctly.
• Do not use oil or grease on wheel
bolts.
STARTING THE ENGINE WITH
JUMPER LEADS
A car with a discharged battery may be
started by transferring electrical power from
a battery in another car.
This may be dangerous and any deviation
from the following instructions could lead to
personal injury or property damage result-
ing from battery explosion, battery acid or
electrical(short circuit) burns as well as to
damage to the electrical systems in both ve-
hicles.
• Never expose the battery to naked
flames or sparks.
• Do not allow battery fluid to come into
contact with eyes, skin, fabrics or
painted surfaces. The fluid contains sul-
furic acid which can cause injuries and
damage in the event of direct contact.
• To lesson the risk of injury wear eye
protection when working near any bat-
tery.
• Make sure that the battery providing the
jump start has the same voltage as the
battery in your car(12V).
• Do not disconnect the discharged bat-
tery from the vehicle.
• Switch off all unnecessary electrical
loads.
• Do not lean over the battery during jump
starting.
• Do not allow the terminals of one lead
to touch those of the other lead.
• Apply the parking brake. Place the gear-
shift lever in "NEUTRAL" (manual trans-
mission) or the selector lever in "P" (au-
tomatic transmission)
NOTE
Call a garage or motoring service
for assistance where conditions are
not satisfactory for jacking the car
or if you are not confident of com-
pleting the task safely.
NOTE
The compact spare tire is for short-
term use only.
Replace the spare with a regular tire
as soon as possible.
