EMERGENCY COMMODITY (IF EQUIPPED)
Your vehicle is equipped with emergency
commodities to help you respond to
emergency situation.
Fire extinguisher
If there is small fire and you know how
to use the fire extinguisher, follow these
steps carefully.
1. Pull out the safety pin at the top of the
extinguisher that keeps the handle
from being accidentally pressed.
2. Aim the nozzle towards the base of
the fire.
3. Stand approximately 2.5 m (8 ft) away
from the fire and squeeze the handle
to discharge the extinguisher. If you
release the handle, the discharge will
stop.
4. Sweep the nozzle back and forth
at the base of the fire. After the fire
appears to be out, watch carefully
since it may re-ignite.
First aid kit
Supplies for use in giving first aid such
as scissors, bandage and adhesive tape,
etc. are provided.
Triangle reflector
Place the triangle reflector on the road
to warn oncoming vehicles during
emergencies, such as when the vehicle is
parked by the roadside due to problems.
Tire pressure gauge
(if equipped)
Tires normally lose some air in day-to-
day use, and you may have to add a air
periodically and usually it is not a sign of
a leaking tire, but of normal wear. Always
check tire pressure when the tires are
cold because tire pressure increases with
temperature.
To check the tire pressure, take the
following steps:
1. Unscrew the inflation valve cap that is
located on the rim of the tire.
2. Press and hold the gauge against the
tire valve. Some air will leak as you
begin and more will leak if you don’t
press the gauge in firmly.
3. A firm non-leaking push will activate
the gauge.
4. Read the tire pressure on the gauge
to see whether the tire pressure is low
or high.
5. Adjust the tire pressure to the
specified pressure. Refer to “Tires and
Wheels” in chapter 8.
6. Reinstall the inflation valve cap.
