IN CASE OF AN EMERGENCY

WHILE DRIVING

ROAD WARNING

It should be used whenever emergency

repairs are being made or when the vehi-

cle is stopped near the edge of a road-

way.

F020100AUN

If the engine stalls at a crossroad

or crossing

Depress the flasher switch with the igni-

tion switch in any position. The flasher

switch is located in the center console

switch panel. All turn signal lights will

flash simultaneously.

• If the engine stalls at a crossroad or

crossing, set the shift lever in the N

(Neutral) position and then push the

vehicle to a safe place.

• If your vehicle has a manual transaxle

not equipped with a ignition lock

switch, the vehicle can move forward

by shifting to the 2(second) or 3(third)

gear and then turning the starter with-

out depressing the clutch pedal.

• The hazard warning flasher operates

whether your vehicle is running or not.

• The turn signals do not work when the

hazard flasher is on.

F010100AUN

Hazard warning flasher

• Care must be taken when using the

hazard warning flasher while the vehi-

cle is being towed.

The hazard warning flasher serves as a

warning to other drivers to exercise

extreme caution when approaching,

overtaking, or passing your vehicle.

F020200AUN

If you have a flat tire while driving

If a tire goes flat while you are driving:

1.Take your foot off the accelerator pedal

and let the car slow down while driving

straight ahead. Do not apply the brakes

immediately or attempt to pull off the

road as this may cause a loss of con-

trol. When the car has slowed to such

a speed that it is safe to do so, brake

carefully and pull off the road. Drive off

the road as far as possible and park on

firm, level ground. If you are on a divid-

ed highway, do not park in the median

area between the two traffic lanes.

2.When the car is stopped, turn on your

emergency hazard flashers, set the

parking brake and put the transaxle in

P (automatic transaxle) or reverse

(manual transaxle).

If engine doesn't turn over or

turns over slowly

If engine turns over normally but

does not start

1. If your car has an automatic transaxle,

be sure the gear selector lever is in N

(Neutral) or P (Park) and the emer-

gency brake is set.

1. Check fuel level.

2. With the ignition switch in the OFF

position, check all connectors at igni-

tion, coil and spark plugs. Reconnect

any that may be disconnected or

loose.

3.Have all passengers get out of the car.

Be sure they all get out on the side of

the car that is away from traffic.

2. Check the battery connections to be

sure they are clean and tight.

4.When changing a flat tire, follow the

instruction provided later in this sec-

tion.

3. Turn on the interior light. If the light

dims or goes out when you operate the

starter, the battery is discharged.

3. Check the fuel line in the engine com-

partment.

4. If the engine still does not start, call an

authorized HYUNDAI dealer or seek

other qualified assistance.

Jumper Cables

CAUTION

Jump starting procedure

Use only a 12-volt jumper system.

You can damage a 12-volt starting

motor, ignition system, and other

electrical parts beyond repair by

use of a 24-volt power supply (either

two 12-volt batteries in series or a

24-volt motor generator set).

1. Make sure the booster battery is 12-

volt and that its negative terminal is

grounded.

2. If the booster battery is in another

vehicle, do not allow the vehicles to

touch.

4. Connect the jumper cables in the exact

sequence shown in the illustration.

First connect one end of a jumper

cable to the positive terminal of the

discharged battery (1), then connect

the other end to the positive terminal

on the booster battery (2). Proceed to

connect one end of the other jumper

cable to the negative terminal of the

booster battery (3), then the other end

to a solid, stationary, metallic point (for

example, the engine lifting bracket)

away from the battery (4). Do not con-

nect it to or near any part that moves

when the engine is cranked.

Booster battery

WARNING - Battery

1VQA4001

Never attempt to check the elec-

trolyte level of the battery as this

may cause the battery to rupture or

explode causing serious injury.

F040100AUN

Jump starting

Jump starting can be dangerous if done

incorrectly. Therefore, to avoid harm to

yourself or damage to your vehicle or

battery, follow the jump starting proce-

dures. If in doubt, we strongly recom-

mend that you have a competent techni-

cian or towing service jump start your

vehicle.

WARNING - Battery

• Keep all flames or sparks away

from the battery. The battery pro-

duces hydrogen gas which may

explode if exposed to flame or

sparks.

• Do not attempt to jump start the

vehicle if the discharged battery

is frozen or if the electrolyte level

is low; the battery may rupture or

explode.

Do not allow the jumper cables to con-

tact anything except the correct battery

terminals or the correct ground. Do not

lean over the battery when making

connections.

F040200AUN

CAUTION - Battery cables

Push-starting

Do not connect the jumper cable

from the negative terminal of the

booster battery to the negative ter-

minal of the discharged battery.

This can cause the discharged bat-

tery to overheat and crack, releas-

ing battery acid.

Your manual transaxle-equipped vehicle

should not be push-started because it

might damage the emission control sys-

tem.

Vehicles equipped with automatic

transaxle cannot be push-started.

Follow the directions in this section for

jump-starting.

5. Start the engine of the vehicle with the

booster battery and let it run at 2,000

rpm, then start the engine of the vehi-

cle with the discharged battery.

WARNING

Never tow a vehicle to start it

because the sudden surge forward

when the engine starts could cause

a collision with the tow vehicle.

If the cause of your battery discharging is

not apparent, you should have your vehi-

cle checked by an authorized HYUNDAI

dealer.

IF THE ENGINE OVERHEATS

F050000AFD

6.If you cannot find the cause of the

overheating, wait until the engine tem-

perature has returned to normal. Then,

if coolant has been lost, carefully add

coolant to the reservoir to bring the

fluid level in the reservoir up to the

halfway mark.

If your temperature gauge indicates over-

heating, you experience a loss of power,

or hear loud pinging or knocking, the

engine is probably too hot. If this hap-

pens, you should:

WARNING

While the engine is running, keep

hair, hands and clothing away from

moving parts such as the fan and

drive belts to prevent injury.

1. Pull off the road and stop as soon as it

is safe to do so.

7.Proceed with caution, keeping alert for

further signs of overheating. If over-

heating happens again, call an author-

ized HYUNDAI dealer for assistance.

5. If the water pump drive belt is broken

or engine coolant is leaking out, stop

the engine immediately and call the

nearest authorized HYUNDAI dealer

for assistance.

2. Place the gear selector lever in P

(automatic transaxle) or neutral (man-

ual transaxle) and set the parking

brake. If the air conditioning is on, turn

it off.

CAUTION

Serious loss of coolant indicates

there is a leak in the cooling system

and this should be checked as soon

as possible by an authorized

HYUNDAI dealer.

3. If engine coolant is running out under

the car or steam is coming out from

the hood, stop the engine. Do not open

the hood until the coolant has stopped

running or the steaming has stopped.

If there is no visible loss of engine

coolant and no steam, leave the

engine running and check to be sure

the engine cooling fan is operating. If

the fan is not running, turn the engine

off.

WARNING

Do not remove the radiator cap

when the engine is hot. This can

allow coolant to be blown out of the

opening and cause serious burns.

4. Check to see if the water pump drive

belt is missing. If it is not missing,

check to see that it is tight. If the drive

belt seems to be satisfactory, check

for coolant leaking from the radiator,

hoses or under the car. (If the air con-

ditioning had been in use, it is normal

for cold water to be draining from it

when you stop).

Each tire, including the spare (if pro-

vided), should be checked monthly

when cold and inflated to the inflation

pressure recommended by the vehi-

cle manufacturer on the vehicle plac-

ard or tire inflation pressure label. (If

your vehicle has tires of a different

size than the size indicated on the

vehicle placard or tire inflation pres-

sure label, you should determine the

proper tire inflation pressure for

those tires.)

Then the TPMS malfunction indicator

may turn on and the Low Tire

Pressure telltale may turn off after

restarting and about 20 minutes of

continuous driving before you have

the low pressure tire repaired and

replaced on the vehicle.

✽

NOTICE

Low tire pressure tell-

tale

If the TPMS, Low Tire Pressure and

Position indicators do not illuminate

for 3 seconds when the ignition

switch is turned to the ON position

or engine is running, or if they

remain illuminated after coming on

for approximately 3 seconds, take

your car to your nearest authorized

HYUNDAI dealer and have the sys-

tem checked.

Low tire pressure posi-

tion telltale

When the tire pressure monitoring

system warning indicators are illumi-

nated, one or more of your tires is

significantly under-inflated. The low

tire pressure position telltale light will

indicate which tire is significantly

under-inflated by illuminating the cor-

responding position light.

✽

NOTICE

The spare tire is not equipped with a

tire pressure sensor.

If either telltale illuminates, immedi-

ately reduce your speed, avoid hard

cornering and anticipate increased

stopping distances. You should stop

and check your tires as soon as pos-

sible. Inflate the tires to the proper

pressure as indicated on the vehi-

cle’s placard or tire inflation pressure

label located on the driver’s side cen-

ter pillar outer panel. If you cannot

reach a service station or if the tire

cannot hold the newly added air,

replace the low pressure tire with the

spare tire.

malfunction indicator

WARNING - Low pressure

damage

In winter or cold weather, the

low tire pressure telltale may be

illuminated if the tire pressure

was adjusted to the recom-

mended tire inflation pressure

in warm weather. It does not

mean yourTPMS is malfunction-

ing because the decreased tem-

perature leads to a proportional

lowering of tire pressure.

TPMS

Significantly low tire pressure

makes the vehicle unstable and

can contribute to loss of vehicle

control and increased braking

distances.

The TPMS malfunction indicator

comes on and stays on when there is

a problem with the Tire Pressure

Monitoring System. If the Front Left

sensor fails, the TPMS malfunction

indicator illuminates, but if the Front

Right, Rear Left, or Rear Right tire is

under-inflated, the low tire pressure

and position telltales may illuminate

together with the TPMS malfunction

indicator.

Continued driving on low pres-

sure tires can cause the tires to

overheat and fail.

When you drive your vehicle

from a warm area to a cold area

or from a cold area to a warm

area, or the outside temperature

is greatly higher or lower, you

should check the tire inflation

pressure and adjust the tires to

the recommended tire inflation

pressure.

Have the system checked by an

authorized HYUNDAI dealer as soon

as possible to determine the cause

of the problem.

What to do in an emergency

F060300AFD

Even if you replace the low pressure

tire with the spare tire, the TPMS

malfunction indicator may turn on

and the Low Tire Pressure telltale

may turn off after restarting and

about 20 minutes of continuous driv-

ing before you have the low pressure

tire repaired and replaced on the

vehicle.

CAUTION

Changing a tire with TPMS

• The TPMS malfunction indica-

tor may be illuminated if the

vehicle is moving around elec-

tric power supply cables or

radios transmitter such as at

police stations, government

and public offices, broadcast-

ing stations, military installa-

tions, airports, or transmitting

towers, etc. This can interfere

with normal operation of the

Tire Pressure Monitoring

System (TPMS).

If you have a flat tire, the Low Tire

Pressure and Position telltales will

come on. Have the flat tire repaired

by an authorized HYUNDAI dealer

as soon as possible or replace the

flat tire with the spare tire.

However, if the low pressure tire is

not in the vehicle, the Low Tire

Pressure and Position telltales will go

off and the TPMS malfunction indica-

tor will go on after a few minutes

because the spare tire does not have

a sensor.

CAUTION

NEVER use a puncture-repair-

ing agent to repair and/or inflate

a low pressure tire. The tire

sealant can damage the tire

pressure sensor. If used, you

will have to replace the tire pres-

sure sensor.

• The TPMS malfunction indica-

tor may be illuminated if snow

chains are used or some sep-

arate electronic devices such

as notebook computer, mobile

charger, remote starter or nav-

igation etc., are used in the

vehicle.This can interfere with

normal operation of the Tire

Pressure Monitoring System

(TPMS).

Once the low pressure tire is re-

inflated to the recommended pres-

sure and installed on the vehicle, the

TPMS malfunction indicator and the

low tire pressure and position tell-

tales will extinguish within a few min-

utes of driving.

Each wheel is equipped with a tire

pressure sensor mounted inside the

tire behind the valve stem. You must

use TPMS specific wheels. It is rec-

ommended that you always have

your tires serviced by an authorized

HYUNDAI dealer.

If the indicators are not extinguished

after a few minutes of driving, please

visit an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.

What to do in an emergency

You may not be able identify a low

tire by simply looking at it. Always

use a good quality tire pressure

gauge to measure the tire's inflation

pressure. Please note that a tire that

is hot (from being driven) will have a

higher pressure measurement than a

tire that is cold (from sitting station-

ary for at least 3 hours and driven

less than 1 mile (1.6km) during that 3

hour period).

WARNING - TPMS

• The TPMS cannot alert you to

severe and sudden tire dam-

age caused by external fac-

tors such as nails or road

debris.

WARNING - Protecting

TPMS

Tampering with, modifying, or

disabling the Tire Pressure

Monitoring System (TPMS)

components may interfere with

the system's ability to warn the

driver of low tire pressure con-

ditions and/or TPMS malfunc-

tions. Tampering with, modify-

ing, or disabling the Tire

Pressure Monitoring System

(TPMS) components may void

the warranty for that portion of

the vehicle.

• If you feel any vehicle instabil-

ity, immediately take your foot

off the accelerator, apply the

brakes gradually and with

light force, and slowly move to

a safe position off the road.

Allow the tire to cool before measur-

ing the inflation pressure. Always be

sure the tire is cold before inflating to

the recommended pressure.

A cold tire means the vehicle has

been sitting for 3 hours and driven for

less than 1 mile (1.6km) in that 3

hour period.

CAUTION

Do not use any tire sealant if

your vehicle is equipped with a

9. Loosen the wheel nuts and

remove them with your fingers.

Slide the wheel off the studs and

lay it flat so it cannot roll away. To

put the wheel on the hub, pick up

the spare tire, line up the holes

with the studs and slide the wheel

onto them. If this is difficult, tip the

wheel slightly and get the top hole

in the wheel lined up with the top

stud. Then jiggle the wheel back

and forth until the wheel can be

slid over the other studs.

you are changing. Place the jack

at the designated locations under

the frame. The jacking positions

are plates welded to the frame

with two tabs and a raised dot to

index with the jack.

and turn it clockwise, raising the

vehicle until the tire just clears the

ground. This measurement is

approximately 30 mm (1.2 in).

Before removing the wheel lug

nuts, make sure the vehicle is sta-

ble and that there is no chance for

movement or slippage.

WARNING - Jack location

To reduce the possibility of

injury, be sure to use only the

jack provided with the vehicle

and in the correct jack position;

never use any other part of the

vehicle for jack support.

What to do in an emergency

10. To reinstall the wheel, hold it on

the studs, put the wheel nuts on

the studs and tighten them finger

tight.The nuts should be installed

with their tapered small diameter

ends directed inward. Jiggle the

tire to be sure it is completely

seated, then tighten the nuts as

much as possible with your fin-

gers again.

WARNING

Wheels and wheel covers may

have sharp edges. Handle them

carefully to avoid possible

severe injury. Before putting the

wheel into place, be sure that

there is nothing on the hub or

wheel (such as mud, tar, gravel,

etc.) that interferes with the

wheel from fitting solidly

against the hub.

11. Lower the car to the ground by

turning the wheel nut wrench

counterclockwise.

OUN046019

If there is, remove it. If there is

not good contact on the mount-

ing surface between the wheel

and hub, the wheel nuts could

come loose and cause the loss

of a wheel. Loss of a wheel may

result in loss of control of the

vehicle. This may cause serious

injury or death.

Then position the wrench as shown

in the drawing and tighten the wheel

nuts. Be sure the socket is seated

completely over the nut. Do not stand

on the wrench handle or use an

extension pipe over the wrench han-

dle.

Go around the wheel tightening

every other nut until they are all tight.

Then double-check each nut for

tightness. After changing wheels,

have an authorized HYUNDAI dealer

tighten the wheel nuts to their proper

torque as soon as possible.

Wheel nut tightening torque:

Steel wheel & aluminium alloy wheel:

9~11 kg.m (65~79 lb.ft)

6 16

What to do in an emergency

If you have a tire gauge, remove the

valve cap and check the air pressure.

If the pressure is lower than recom-

mended, drive slowly to the nearest

service station and inflate to the cor-

rect pressure. If it is too high, adjust

it until it is correct. Always reinstall

the valve cap after checking or

adjusting tire pressure. If the cap is

not replaced, air may leak from the

tire. If you lose a valve cap, buy

another and install it as soon as pos-

sible.

CAUTION

WARNING - Wheel studs

If the studs are damaged, they

may lose their ability to retain

the wheel.This could lead to the

loss of the wheel and a collision

resulting in serious injuries.

Your vehicle has metric threads

on the wheel studs and nuts.

Make certain during wheel

removal that the same nuts that

were removed are reinstalled -

or, if replaced, that nuts with

metric threads and the same

chamfer configuration are used.

Installation of a non-metric

thread nut on a metric stud or

vice-versa will not secure the

wheel to the hub properly and

will damage the stud so that it

must be replaced.

To prevent the jack, jack handle,

wheel lug nut wrench and spare tire

from rattling while the vehicle is in

motion, store them properly.

After you have changed wheels,

always secure the flat tire in its place

and return the jack and tools to their

proper storage locations.

WARNING - Inadequate

spare tire pressure

Note that most lug nuts do not

have metric threads. Be sure to

use extreme care in checking

for thread style before installing

aftermarket lug nuts or wheels.

If in doubt, consult an author-

ized HYUNDAI dealer.

Check the inflation pressures as

soon as possible after installing

the spare tire. Adjust it to the

specified pressure, if necessary.

Refer to “Tires and wheels” in

section 9.

When using a compact spare tire,

observe the following precautions:

Important - use of compact spare tire

(if equipped)

WARNING

The compact spare tire is for

emergency use only. Do not

operate your vehicle on this

compact spare at speeds over

80 km/h (50 mph). The original

tire should be repaired or

replaced as soon as is possible

to avoid failure of the spare

possibly leading to personal

injury or death.

• Under no circumstances should

you exceed 80 km/h (50 mph); a

higher speed could damage the

tire.

Your vehicle is equipped with a com-

pact spare tire. This compact spare

tire takes up less space than a regu-

lar-size tire.This tire is smaller than a

conventional tire and is designed for

temporary use only.

• Ensure that you drive slowly

enough for the road conditions to

avoid all hazards. Any road hazard,

such as a pothole or debris, could

seriously damage the compact

spare.

CAUTION

• You should drive carefully

when the compact spare is in

use. The compact spare

should be replaced by the

proper conventional tire and

rim at the first opportunity.

• Any continuous road use of this tire

could result in tire failure, loss of

vehicle control, and possible per-

sonal injury.

The compact spare should be inflat-

ed to 420 kPa (60 psi).

• Do not exceed the vehicle’s maxi-

mum load rating or the load-carry-

ing capacity shown on the sidewall

of the compact spare tire.

✽

NOTICE

• The operation of this vehicle

is not recommended with

more than one compact spare

tire in use at the same time.

Check the inflation pressure after

installing the spare tire. Adjust it to

the specified pressure, as necessary.

• Avoid driving over obstacles. The

compact spare tire diameter is

smaller than the diameter of a con-

ventional tire and reduces the

ground clearance approximately

25 mm (1 inch), which could result

in damage to the vehicle.

• Do not use the compact spare tire

on any other vehicle because this

tire has been designed especially

for your vehicle.

• The compact spare tire’s tread life

is shorter than a regular tire.

Inspect your compact spare tire

regularly and replace worn com-

What to do in an emergency

TOWING

It is acceptable to tow the vehicle with the

rear wheels on the ground (without dol-

lies) and the front wheels off the ground.

If any of the loaded wheels or suspen-

sion components are damaged or the

vehicle is being towed with the front

wheels on the ground, use a towing dolly

under the front wheels.

When being towed by a commercial tow

truck and wheel dollies are not used, the

front of the vehicle should always be lift-

ed, not the rear.

dolly

CAUTION

Before towing, check the level of

the automatic transaxle fluid. If it is

below the "HOT" range on the dip-

stick, add fluid. If you cannot add

fluid, a towing dolly must be used.

Towing service

CAUTION

If emergency towing is necessary, we

recommend having it done by an author-

ized HYUNDAI dealer or a commercial

tow-truck service. Proper lifting and tow-

ing procedures are necessary to prevent

damage to the vehicle. The use of wheel

dollies or flatbed is recommended.

• Do not tow the vehicle backwards

with the front wheels on the

ground as this may cause dam-

age to the vehicle.

• Do not tow with sling-type equip-

ment. Use wheel lift or flatbed

equipment.

For trailer towing guidelines information,

refer to “Trailer towing” in section 5.

6 20

What to do in an emergency

When towing your vehicle in an emer-

gency without wheel dollies :

1. Set the ignition switch in the ACC posi-

tion.

2. Place the transaxle shift lever in N

(Neutral).

3. Release the parking brake.

CAUTION

Failure to place the transaxle shift

lever in N (Neutral) may cause inter-

nal damage to the transaxle.

3. Install the towing hook by turning it

clockwise into the hole until it is fully

secured.

Removable towing hook (rear)

1. Open the tailgate, and remove the tow-

ing hook from the tool case.

4. Remove the towing hook and install

the cover after use.

2. Remove the hole cover pressing the

lower part of the cover on the rear

bumper.

6 21

What to do in an emergency

Use extreme caution when towing the

vehicle. A driver must be in the vehicle to

steer it and operate the brakes.

Front

CAUTION

• Attach a towing strap to the tow

hook.

Towing in this manner may be done only

on hard-surfaced roads for a short dis-

tance and at low speeds. Also, the

wheels, axles, power train, steering and

brakes must all be in good condition.

• Using a portion of the vehicle

other than the tow hooks for tow-

ing may damage the body of your

vehicle.

• Do not use the towing hooks to pull a

vehicle out of mud, sand or other con-

ditions from which the vehicle cannot

be driven out under its own power.

• Use only a cable or chain specifi-

cally intended for use in towing

vehicles. Securely fasten the

cable or chain to the towing hook

provided.

OFD067012

Rear

• Avoid towing a vehicle heavier than the

vehicle doing the towing.

• The drivers of both vehicles should

communicate with each other frequent-

ly.

• Before emergency towing, check that

the hook is not broken or damaged.

• Fasten the towing cable or chain

securely to the hook.

• Do not jerk the hook. Apply steady and

even force.

OFD067010

• To avoid damaging the hook, do not

pull from the side or at a vertical angle.

Always pull straight ahead.

Emergency towing

If towing is necessary, we recommend

you to have it done by an authorized

HYUNDAI dealer or a commercial tow

truck service.

If towing service is not available in an

emergency, your vehicle may be tem-

porarily towed using a cable or chain

secured to the emergency towing hook

under the front (or rear) of the vehicle.

What to do in an emergency

F080301BUN

Emergency towing precautions

• Turn the ignition switch to ACC so the

steering wheel isn’t locked.

WARNING

Use extreme caution when towing

the vehicle.

• Place the transaxle shift lever in N

(Neutral).

• Release the parking brake.

• Avoid sudden starts or erratic

driving maneuvers which would

place excessive stress on the

emergency towing hook and tow-

ing cable or chain. The hook and

towing cable or chain may break

and cause serious injury or dam-

age.

• Press the brake pedal with more force

than normal since you will have

reduced brake performance.

• More steering effort will be required

because the power steering system

will be disabled.

OUN046024

• If the disabled vehicle is unable

to be moved, do not forcibly con-

tinue the towing. Contact an

authorized HYUNDAI dealer or a

commercial tow truck service for

assistance.

• Use a towing strap less than 5 m (16

feet) long. Attach a white or red cloth

(about 30 cm (12 inches) wide) in the

middle of the strap for easy visibility.

• If you are driving down a long hill, the

brakes may overheat and brake per-

formance will be reduced. Stop often

and let the brakes cool off.

• Drive carefully so that the towing strap

is not loosened during towing.

• Tow the vehicle as straight ahead

as possible.

• Keep away from the vehicle dur-

ing towing.

6 23

What to do in an emergency

CAUTION - Automatic

transaxle

• If the car is being towed with all

four wheels on the ground, it can

be towed only from the front. Be

sure that the transmission is in

neutral. Be sure the steering is

unlocked by placing the ignition

switch in the ACC position. A

driver must be in the towed vehi-

cle to operate the steering and

brakes.

OFD067014

• To avoid serious damage to the

automatic transmission, limit the

vehicle speed to 15 km/h (10 mph)

and drive less than 1.5 km (1

mile) when towing.

F080400AFD

Tie-down hook

(for flatbed towing)

WARNING

• Before towing, check the auto-

matic transmission fluid leak

under your vehicle. If the auto-

matic transmission fluid is leak-

ing, a flatbed equipment or tow-

ing dolly must be used.

Do not use the hooks under the

front of the vehicle for towing pur-

poses. These hooks are designed

ONLY for transport tie-down. If the

tie-down hooks are used for tow-

ing, the tie-down hooks or front

bumper will be damaged and this

could lead to serious injury.

EMERGENCY COMMODITY (IF EQUIPPED)

F110000AUN

F110200AUN

To check the tire pressure, take the fol-

lowing steps;

There are some emergency commodities

in the vehicle to help you respond to the

emergency situation.

First aid kit

1. Unscrew the inflation valve cap that is

located on the rim of the tire.

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.

2. Press and hold the gauge against the

tire valve. Some air will escape as you

begin and more will escape if you don't

press the gauge in firmly.

F110100AUN

Fire extinguisher

F110300AUN

If there is small fire and you know how to

use the fire extinguisher, take the follow-

ing steps carefully.

3. A firm non-leaking push will activate

the gauge.

Triangle reflector

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.

4. Read the tire pressure on the gauge to

know whether the tire pressure is low

or high.

1. Pull the pin at the top of the extin-

guisher that keeps the handle from

being accidentally pressed.

5. Adjust the tire pressures to the speci-

fied pressure. Refer to “Tires and

wheels” in section 9.

2. Aim the nozzle toward 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.

F110400AUN

6. Reinstall the inflation valve cap.

Tire pressure gauge

(If equipped)

Tires 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 tire, but of nor-

mal wear. Always check tire pressure

when the tires are cold because tire pres-

sure increases with temperature.

4. Sweep the nozzle back and forth at the

base of the fire. After the fire appears

to be out, watch it carefully since it

may re-ignite.
