PUSH STARTING 7. After starting your engine, carefully disconnect the negative cable and then the positive cable. 8. Replace the vent caps (if so equipped). Be sure to dispose of the cloth used to cover the vent holes as it may be contaminated with corrosive acid. Do not start the engine by pushing. IF YOUR VEHICLE OVERHEATS CAUTION ¼ CVT models cannot be push started. This may cause transmission damage. ¼ Three way catalyst equipped models should not be started by pushing since the three way catalyst may be damaged. ¼ Never try to start the vehicle by towing it; when the engine starts, the forward surge could cause the vehicle to collide with the tow vehicle. WARNING ¼ Do not continue to drive if your vehicle overheats. Doing so could cause a vehicle fire. ¼ To avoid the danger of being scalded, never remove the radiator cap while the engine is still hot. When the radiator cap is removed, pressurized hot water will spurt out, possibly causing serious injury. ¼ Do not open the hood if steam is coming out. If your vehicle is overheating (indicated by an extremely high temperature gauge reading), 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 selector lever to the P (Park) position. Do not stop the engine. 2. Turn off the air conditioner switch. Open all the windows, move the heater or air conditioner temperature control to maximum hot 6-10 In case of emergency
