If you replace a flat tire with the spare tire, the low tire pressure/TPMS indicator 
comes on while you are driving. After driving for a few miles (kilometers), the 
indicator will start blinking for a short time and then stay on. Tire Pressure 
Monitor Problem appears on the driver information interface, but this is normal.

If you replace the tire with a specified regular tire, the warning message on the 
driver information interface and the low tire pressure/TPMS indicator will go off after 
a few miles (kilometers).

TPMS with Tire Fill Assist and the Compact Spare Tire

The system cannot monitor the pressure of the spare 
tire. Manually check the spare tire pressure to be sure 
that it is correct.

Use the TPMS specific wheels. Each is equipped with 
a tire pressure sensor mounted inside the tire behind 
the valve stem.

Emergency Engine Stop

The ENGINE START/STOP button may be used to stop the engine due to an 
emergency situation even while driving. If you must stop the engine, do either of the 
following operations:
• Press and hold the ENGINE START/STOP button for about two seconds.
• Firmly press the ENGINE START/STOP button three times.

The steering wheel will not lock. However, because turning off the engine disables 
the power assist the engine provides to the steering and braking systems, it will 
require significantly more physical effort and time to steer and slow the vehicle. Use 
both feet on the brake pedal to slow down the vehicle and stop immediately in a 
safe place.

The gear position automatically changes to 

(

P after the vehicle comes to a complete 

stop.

Then, the power mode changes to VEHICLE OFF.

Then press the ENGINE START/STOP button twice without depressing the brake 
pedal to change the mode to VEHICLE OFF.

Jump Starting

Turn off the power to electric devices, such as audio and lights. Turn off the engine, 
then open the hood.

1. Connect the first jumper cable to your 

vehicle’s battery + terminal.

2. Connect the other end of the first jumper 

cable to the booster battery + terminal.

u

Use a 12-volt booster battery only.

u

When using an automotive battery 
charger to boost your 12-volt battery, 
select a lower charging voltage than 15-
volt. Check the charger manual for the 
proper setting.

3. Connect the second jumper cable to the 

booster battery - terminal.

4. Connect the other end of the second 

jumper cable to the engine mounting bolt 
as shown. Do not connect this jumper cable 
to any other part.

5. If your vehicle is connected to another 

vehicle, start the assisting vehicle’s engine 
and increase its rpm slightly.

6. Attempt to start your vehicle’s engine. If it 

turns over slowly, check that the jumper 
cables have good metal-to-metal contact.

■

Jump Starting Procedure

1

Jump Starting

Securely attach the jumper cables clips so that they 
do not come off when the engine vibrates. Also be 
careful not to tangle the jumper cables or allow the 
cable ends to touch each other while attaching or 
detaching the jumper cables.

Battery performance degrades in cold conditions and 
may prevent the engine from starting.

3

WARNING

A battery can explode if you do not follow 
the correct procedure, seriously injuring 
anyone nearby.

Keep all sparks, open flames, and smoking 
materials away from the battery.

Overheating

How to Handle Overheating

Overheating symptoms are as follows:
• The temperature gauge pointer is at the 

 mark or the engine suddenly loses 

power.

• The Stop Driving When Safe. Engine Temperature Too Hot message appears 

on the driver information interface.

• Steam or spray comes out of the engine compartment.

■

First thing to do

1. Immediately park the vehicle in a safe place.
2. Turn off all accessories and turn on the hazard warning lights.

u

No steam or spray present: Keep the engine running and open the hood.

u

Steam or spray is present: Turn off the engine and wait until it subsides. 
Then open the hood.

NOTICE

Continuing to drive with the temperature gauge 
pointer at the 

 mark may damage the engine.

■

Next thing to do

1. Check that the cooling fan is operating and 

stop the engine once the temperature 
gauge pointer comes down.

u

If the cooling fan is not operating, 
immediately stop the engine.

2. Once the engine has cooled down, inspect 

the coolant level and check the cooling 
system components for leaks.

u

If the coolant level in the reserve tank is 
low, add coolant until it reaches the 
MAX mark.

u

If there is no coolant in the reserve tank, 
check that the radiator is cool. Cover the 
radiator cap with a heavy cloth and open 
the cap. If necessary, add coolant up to 
the base of the filler neck and put the 
cap back on.

2 Radiator P. 656

■

Last thing to do

Once the engine has cooled sufficiently, restart it and check the temperature gauge. 
If the temperature gauge pointer has gone down, resume driving. If it has not gone 
down, contact a dealer for repairs.

1

How to Handle Overheating

If the coolant is leaking, contact a dealer for repairs.

Use water as an emergency/temporary measure only. 
Have a dealer flush the system with proper antifreeze 
as soon as possible.

3

WARNING

Removing the radiator cap while the 
engine is hot can cause the coolant to spray 
out, seriously scalding you.

Always let the engine and radiator cool 
down before removing the radiator cap.

If the Brake System Indicator (Red) Comes On or Blinks

Have your vehicle repaired immediately.
It is dangerous to drive with low brake fluid. If there 
is no resistance from the brake pedal, stop 
immediately in a safe place. If necessary downshift 
the gears.

If the brake system indicator and ABS indicator come 
on simultaneously, the electronic brake distribution 
system is not working. This can result in vehicle 
instability under sudden braking.
Have your vehicle inspected by a dealer immediately.

If the brake system indicator (red) blinks at the same
