EMERGENCY COMMODITY (IF EQUIPPED)
There are some emergency commodi‐
ties in the vehicle to help you respond
to the emergency situation.
Fire extinguisher
If there is small fire and you know how
to use the fire extinguisher, take the
following steps carefully.
1. Pull the pin at the top of the extin‐
guisher that keeps the handle from
being accidentally pressed.
2. Aim the nozzle toward the base of
the fire.
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.
4. Sweep the nozzle back and forth at
the base of the fire. After the fire
appears to be out, watch it careful‐
ly since it may re-ignite.
First aid kit
There are some items such as scissors,
bandage and adhesive tape and etc. in
the kit to give first aid to an injured
person.
Triangle reflector
Place the triangle reflector on the road
to warn oncoming vehicles during
emergencies, such as when the vehicle
is parked by the roadside due to any
problems.
Tire pressure gauge (If
equipped)
Tires normally lose some air in day-to-
day use, and you may have to add a
few pounds of air periodically and it is
not usually a sign of a leaking tire, but
of normal wear. Always check tire pres‐
sure when the tires are cold because
tire pressure increases with tempera‐
ture.
To check the tire pressure, take the fol‐
lowing steps;
1. Unscrew the inflation valve cap
that is located on the rim of the
tire.
2. Press and hold the gauge against
the tire valve. Some air will escape
as you begin and more will escape
if you don't press the gauge in
firmly.
3. A firm non-leaking push will acti‐
vate the gauge.
4. Read the tire pressure on the
gauge to know whether the tire
pressure is low or high.
5. Adjust the tire pressures to the
specified pressure. Refer to Tires
and wheels on page 9-08.
6. Reinstall the inflation valve cap.
