5. Start the engine of the booster vehicle and

let it run for a few minutes.

hicle at about 2,000 rpm and start the en-
gine of the vehicle being jump started.

CAUTION

Do not keep the starter motor engaged for
more than 10 seconds. If the engine does
not start right away, place the ignition
switch in the OFF position and wait 3 to
4 seconds before trying again.

CAUTION

CVT models cannot be push-started or

tow-started. Attempting to do so may
cause transmission damage.

Do not push start this vehicle. The 3-way

catalyst may be damaged.

WARNING

Do not continue to drive if your vehicle

overheats. Doing so could cause engine
damage or a vehicle fire.

To avoid the danger of being scalded,

never remove the radiator or coolant
reservoir cap while the engine is still
hot. When the radiator or coolant reser-
voir cap is removed, pressurized hot
water will spurt out, possibly causing
serious injury.

Do not open the hood if steam is com-

ing out.

If your vehicle is overheating (indicated by an
extremely high temperature gauge reading and
the illumination of the engine oil pressure/engine
coolant temperature high indicator light), or if you
feel a lack of engine power, detect abnormal
noise, etc. take the following steps:

1. Move the vehicle safely off the road, apply

the parking brake and move the shift lever to
P (Park).

Do not stop the engine.

2. Turn off the air conditioner. Open all the

windows, move the heater or air conditioner
temperature control to maximum hot and fan
control to high speed.
