5-2. Steps to take in an emergency

■ To prevent battery discharge

● Turn off the headlights and the audio system while the engine is turned

off.

● Turn off any unnecessary electrical components when the vehicle is run-

ning at a low speed for an extended period, such as in heavy traffic, etc.

■ Charging the battery

The electricity stored in the battery will discharge gradually even when the

vehicle is not in use, due to natural discharge and the draining effects of cer-

tain electrical appliances. If the vehicle is left for a long time, the battery may

discharge, and the engine may be unable to start. (The battery recharges

automatically during driving.)

■ When the battery is removed or discharged

Make sure that the key is not inside the vehicle when recharging or replacing

the battery. The key may be locked in the vehicle if the alarm is activated.

(→P. 122)

CAUTION

■ Avoiding battery fires or explosions

Observe the following precautions to prevent accidentally igniting the flam-

5

mable gas that may be emitted from the battery.

● Make sure the jumper cable is connected to the correct terminal and that it

is not unintentionally in contact with any other than the intended terminal.

●Do not allow the + and - clamps of the jumper cables to come into contact

with each other.

●Do not smoke, use matches, cigarette lighters or allow open flame near

the battery.

CAUTION

■ Battery precautions

The battery contains poisonous and corrosive acidic electrolyte, while

related parts contain lead and lead compounds. Observe the following pre-

cautions when handling the battery.

● When working with the battery, always wear safety glasses and take care

not to allow any battery fluids (acid) to come into contact with skin, clothing

or the vehicle body.

●Do not lean over the battery.

● In the event that battery fluid comes into contact with the skin or eyes,

immediately wash the affected area with water and seek medical attention.

Place a wet sponge or cloth over the affected area until medical attention

can be received.

● Always wash your hands after handling the battery support, terminals, and

other battery-related parts.

●Do not allow children near the battery.

■ To prevent damaging the vehicle

Do not pull- or push-start the vehicle, because the catalytic converter may

overheat and become a fire hazard.

When connecting the jumper cables, ensure that they do not become entan-

gled in the cooling fans or belt.
