HANDLING THE UNEXPECTED

Learn about what to do in critical or emergency situations.

Smart Entry Remote Battery Strength

If the beeper sounds, the

To Start, Hold Remote Near Start Button

message

appears on the driver information interface, and the

POWER

button flashes, the

READY

indicator does not come on. Turn on the power system as follows:

1. Touch the center of the

POWER

button with the

logo on the smart

entry remote while the

POWER

button is flashing. The buttons on

the smart entry remote should be

facing you.

2. Press the brake pedal and press the

POWER

button within 10 seconds

after the beeper sounds and the

POWER

button changes from

flashing to on.

*if equipped

Emergency Power System Off

The

POWER

button may be used to turn the power system off due to an

emergency situation even while driving. If you must turn the power system off,

do either of the following operations:

• Press and hold the

POWER

button for

about two seconds, or

• Firmly press the

POWER

button three

times.

The steering wheel will not lock. However,

because turning off the power system

disables the power assist the power

system 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 transmission automatically changes to (P) after the vehicle

comes to a complete stop. Then, the power mode changes to

VEHICLE OFF

Do not press the button while driving unless it is absolutely necessary for the

engine to be switched off.

NOTICE

engine, then open the hood.
1. Open the cover on the po terminal.

4. Connect the second jumper cable to the booster battery (-) terminal.

5. 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.

6. If your vehicle is connected to another vehicle, start the assisting vehicle’s

engine and increase its rpm slightly.

7. Attempt to start your vehicle’s engine. If it turns over slowly, make sure that

the jumper cables have good metal-to-metal contact.

After the Engine Starts

Once your vehicle’s engine has started, remove the jumper cables in the

following order:

1. Disconnect the jumper cable from your vehicle’s ground.

2. Disconnect the other end of the jumper cable from the booster battery’s

(-) terminal.

3. Disconnect the jumper cable from your vehicle battery’s (+) terminal.

4. Disconnect the other end of the jumper cable from the booster battery’s

(+) terminal.

5. Have your vehicle inspected by a nearby service station or a dealer.

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.
