Information
An inappropriately disposed battery can
be harmful to the environment and
human health. Always dispose of a used
battery according to your local law(s) or
regulations.
NOTICE
To prevent damage to your vehicle:
• Only use a 12 V power supply (battery or
jumper system) to jump start your
vehicle.
• Do not attempt to jump start your
vehicle by push-starting.
WARNING
While jump starting your vehicle, avoid
the positive (+) and negative (-) cables to
come in contact. A spark could cause
personal injury.
If The Engine Overheats
If your temperature gauge indicates
overheating, you experience a loss of
power, or hear loud pinging or knocking,
the engine may be overheating. If this
happens, you should:
1. Pull off the road and stop as soon as it is
safe to do so.
2. Shift the gear to P (Park) and set the
parking brake. If the air conditioning is
ON, turn it OFF.
3. If engine coolant is running out under
the vehicle or steam is coming out from
the hood, stop the engine. Do not open
the hood until the coolant has stopped
running or the steaming has stopped. If
there is no visible loss of engine coolant
and no steam, leave the engine running
and check to be sure the engine cooling
fan is operating. If the fan is not
running, turn the engine off.
WARNING
While the engine is running, keep
hands, clothing and tools away from
the moving parts such as the cooling
fan and drive belt to prevent serious
injury.
4. Check for coolant leaking from the
radiator, hoses or under the vehicle. (If
the air conditioning has been in use, it is
normal for cold water to be draining
from it when you stop.)
