EMERGENNCY COMMODITY (IF EQQUIPPED)
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.
Fire extinguisher
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.
If there is small fire and you know how
to use the fire extinguisher, follow
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.
1. Pull out the safety pin at the top of
the extinguisher that keeps the han-
dle from being accidentally pressed.
3. A firm non-leaking push will acti-
vate the gauge.
4. Read the tire pressure on the gauge
to see whether the tire pressure is
low or high.
2. Aim the nozzle towards the base
of the fire.
Tire pressure gauge
(if equipped)
3. Stand approximately 2.5 m (8 ft)
away from the fire and squeeze
the handle to discharge the extin-
guisher. If you release the handle,
the discharge will stop.
5. Adjust the tire pressure to the
specified pressure. Refer to “Tires
and Wheels” in chapter 8.
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 temperature.

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.
