FIRE EXTINGUISHER
The fire is extinguisher is located behind the front
passenger seat. In case of a fire, use the following PASS
method to extinguish the flames:
1. PULL
2. AIM
3. SQUEEZE
4. SWEEP
Operation
1. Pull the safety pin and grasp the fire extinguisher
firmly while holding it in an upright position.
2. Aim the fire extinguisher nozzle at the base of the
fire. Do NOT spray at the smoke or flames.
3. Squeeze the handle to release the extinguishing
agent.
4. Sweep the fire from side to side until the fire
appears to be out.
5. Discharge the fire extinguisher entirely and get it
recharged or replaced immediately. For detailed
information, refer to the fire extinguisher manual
provided in the information bag.
After the fire is out, beware of flashback. Flashback occurs
when flammable vapors from combustible liquids spread
back to the ignition source and reignite the fire.
Function
Fire extinguishers are designed to put out a fire in its
initial stages. Once a fire is out of control and you cannot
get within 10 feet, it is too big to fight with your
extinguisher.
Do not discharge your fire extinguisher to test it. Once it
is discharged, even for a few seconds, it will lose pressure
and become useless.
Periodically check the pressure gauge on your fire
extinguisher. If it loses pressure, the dry chemical will not
effectively discharge.
Record the inspection date on the tag provided.
WARNING
Stay a safe distance from the fire and near an exit. Stay
close to the floor to avoid heat and fumes. The
chemical from the fire extinguisher will shoot at least
10 feet (3 m).
NOTICE
If the pointer on the pressure gauge is not in the
operating range (pointer in the green portion of the
gauge), immediately replace the extinguisher.
