Your vehicle is equipped with
Tyre pressure gauge
emergency commodities to help you
respond to emergency situation.
Tyres 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 tyre, but of normal wear.
Always check tyre pressure when the
tyres are cold because tyre pressure
increases with temperature.
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.
To check the tyre pressure, take the
following 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 leak as you
begin and more will leak if you don’t
press the gauge firmly.
3. A firm non-leaking push will activate
the gauge.
4. Read the tyre pressure on the gauge
to see whether the tyre pressure is
low or high.
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.
5. Adjust the tyre pressure to the
specified pressure. Refer to “Tyres and
Wheels” in chapter 2.
First aid kit
Supplies for use in giving first aid such
as scissors, bandage and adhesive tape,
etc. are provided.
6. Reinstall the inflation valve cap.
Triangle reflector
Place the triangle reflector on the road
to warn oncoming vehicles during
emergencies, when the vehicle is parked
by the roadside due to problems.
