5-2. Steps to take in an emergency
■

Starting the engine when the battery is discharged

The engine cannot be started by push-starting.
■

Avoiding a discharged battery

●
Turn off the headlights and the audio system while the engine is turned
off.
●
Turn off any unnecessary electrical components when the vehicle is run-
ning at a low speed for an extended period, such as in heavy traffic, etc.
■

Charging the battery

The electricity stored in the battery will discharge gradually even when the
vehicle is not in use, due to natural discharge and the draining effects of cer-
tain electrical appliances. If the vehicle is left for a long time, the battery may
discharge, and the engine may be unable to start. (The battery recharges
automatically during driving.)
■

When the battery is removed or discharged

●
The power back door must be initialized. (→P. 59)
●
Make sure the key is not inside the vehicle when recharging or replacing
the battery. The key may be locked in the vehicle if the alarm is activated.
