What to do in an emergency
EMERGENCY COMMODITY (IF EQUIPPED)
Your vehicle is equipped with emer-
gency commodities to help you
respond to emergency situation.
To check the tire pressure, take the
following steps:
First aid kit
Supplies for use in giving first aid
such as scissors, bandage and
adhesive tape, etc. are provided.
1.Unscrew the inflation valve cap
that is located on the rim of the tire.
2.Press and hold the gauge against
the tire valve. Some air will leak as
you begin and more will leak if you
don't press the gauge in firmly.
Fire extinguisher
If there is small fire and you know
how to use the fire extinguisher, fol-
low these steps carefully.
Triangle reflector
Place the triangle reflector on the
road to warn oncoming vehicles dur-
ing emergencies, such as when the
vehicle is parked by the roadside due
to problems.
3.A firm non-leaking push will acti-
vate the gauge.
1.Pull out the safety pin at the top of
the extinguisher that keeps the
handle from being accidentally
pressed.
4.Read the tire pressure on the
gauge to see whether the tire pres-
sure is low or high.
2.Aim the nozzle towards the base of
the fire.
Tire pressure gauge
(if equipped)
5.Adjust the tire pressure to the
specified pressure. Refer to “Tires
and Wheels” in chapter 8.
3.Stand approximately 2.5 m (8 ft)
away from the fire and squeeze the
handle to discharge the extinguish-
er. If you release the handle, the
discharge will stop.
Tires 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 tire, but of normal
wear. Always check tire pressure
when the tires are cold because tire
pressure increases with tempera-
ture.
6.Reinstall the inflation valve cap.
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.
