EMERGENCY COMMODITY (IF EQUIPPED)
There are some emergency com-
modities 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 scis-
sors, 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 dur-
ing emergencies, such as when the
vehicle is parked by the roadside due
to any problems.
Tyre pressure gauge
(If equipped)
Tyres 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 tyre,
but of normal wear. Always check
tyre pressure when the S are cold
because tyre pressure increases
with temperature.
To check the tyre pressure, take the
following steps;
1. Unscrew the inflation valve cap
that is located on the rim of the
tyre.
2. Press and hold the gauge against
the tyre 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 tyre pressure on the
gauge to know whether the tyre
pressure is low or high.
5. Adjust the tyre pressures to the
specified pressure. Refer to “Tyres
and wheels” in section 8.
6. Reinstall the inflation valve cap.
