What to do in an emergency
Emergency commodity (if
equipped)
There are some emergency commodi-
ties in the vehicle to help you respond to
the emergency situation.
First aid kit (if equipped)
There are some items such as scissors,
bandage and adhesive tape and etc. in
the kit to give first aid to an injured per-
son.
Triangle reflector (if equipped)
Place the triangle reflector on the road
to warn oncoming vehicles during emer-
gencies, such as when the vehicle is
parked by the roadside due to any prob-
lems.
Tyre pressure gauge (if
equipped)
Tyres normally lose some air in day-to-
day use, and you may have to add a few
pounds of air periodically and it is not
usually a sign of a leaking tyre, but of
normal wear. Always check tyre pres-
sure when the tyres are cold because
tyre pressure increases with tempera-
ture.
To check the tyre pressure, take the fol-
lowing steps;
1. Unscrew the inflation valve cap that is
located on the rim of the tyre.
2. Press and hold the gauge against the
tyre valve. Some air will escape as you
begin and more will escape if you
don't press the gauge in firmly.
3. A firm non-leaking push will activate
the gauge.
4. Read the tyre pressure on the gauge
to know whether the tyre pressure is
low or high.

5. Adjust the tyre pressures to the speci-
fied pressure. Refer to "Tyres and
wheels" on page 8-41.
6. Reinstall the inflation valve cap.
