13-28 Useful advice for emergencies
1. Stop the engine of the vehicle giving the boost.
2. Remove the battery cover. P. 12-82
3. Connect one end of the red booster cable to the
positive (+) terminal of the dead battery. Con-
nect the other end of the red booster cable to
the positive (+) terminal of the booster bat-
tery.
4. Connect one end of the black booster cable to
the negative (–) terminal of the booster bat-
tery and connect the other end of the black
booster cable to a section of frame on the
vehicle with the dead battery at a point as far
away as possible from the battery.
5. After the above connections have been com-
pleted, start the engine of the vehicle with the
booster battery and let it run at an RPM slightly
higher than idling speed. Then, attempt to start
the engine of the vehicle with the dead battery.
If the engine starts with difficulty because of cold
weather or a dead battery, let it draw a charge
for several minutes from the vehicle from which
you are receiving the boost before attempting to
turn over the engine.
6. After the engine of the vehicle with the dead bat-
tery has been started, disconnect the booster
cables by reversing the order of connection.
When the vehicle runs out of fuel and the engine
stalls, also when the fuel filter has been replaced, or
if water has been drained from the fuel filter, air that
has entered the fuel system prevents the engine
from being started even if the engine has been refu-
eled after running dry.
In these cases, bleed the fuel system by performing
the following steps.

(Bleeding the fuel system)
WARNING
• A fire could result if there is a fuel leak or if
spilt fuel is not removed. Always wipe off
spilt fuel after air bleeding. Also be sure to
check for fuel leakage.
• The working space for air-bleeding is tight.
Be careful not to injure yourself on the
edges of nearby parts.
