Vehicle operation and control are affected if
the engine stops. Before moving the vehicle
to a safe area, be aware of the following:
l
The brake booster becomes inoperative
and the pedal effort will increase. Press
down the brake pedal harder than usual.
l Since the power steering system is no
longer operative, the steering wheel feels
heavy when turning it.
If the operation mode
cannot be changed to OFF
(vehicles equipped with the
keyless operation system)
If the operation mode cannot be changed to
OFF, perform the following procedure.
8-08 For emergencies
1. Move the selector lever to the "P"
(PARK) position, and then change the
operation mode to OFF. (For vehicles
with A/T or CVT)
2. One of the other causes could be low
battery voltage. If this occurs, the key-
less entry system, keyless operation
function and steering lock will also not
operate.

thorized Service Point.

Emergency starting

If the engine cannot be started because the
battery is weak or dead, the battery from an-
other vehicle can be used with jumper cables
to start the engine.
WARNING
l To start the engine using jumper cables
connected to another vehicle, perform the
correct procedures according to the in-
struction below. Incorrect procedures
could result in a fire or explosion or dam-
age to the vehicles.
l Keep sparks, cigarettes and flames away
from the battery because the battery may
produce an explosion.

CAUTION
l Do not attempt to start the engine by pulling
or pushing the vehicle.
It could damage your vehicle.
l Check the other vehicle. It must have a 12-
volt battery. If the other system isn't 12-volt,
shorting can damage both vehicles.
l Use the proper cables suitable for the battery
size to prevent overheating of the cables.
l Check the jumper cables for damage and
corrosion before use.
l Always wear protective eye goggles when
working near the battery.
l
Keep the battery out of the reach of children.
1. Get the vehicles close enough so the
jumper cables can reach, but be sure the
vehicles aren't touching each other.
2. Turn off all lamps, heater and other elec-
trical loads.
3. Set the parking brake firmly on each ve-
hicle. Put an A/T or CVT in "P" (PARK)
or the M/T in "N" (Neutral). Stop the en-
gine.
WARNING
l Turn off the ignition on both vehicles be-
forehand. Make sure that the cables or
your clothes cannot be caught by the fan
or drive belt. Personal injury could result.
