Warning / Caution Label (Cont'd) A. Keep lighted cigarettes and all other flames or sparks away from the battery. B. Wear eye protection when charging or working near a battery. Always provide ventilation when working in an enclosed space. • When lifting a plastic-cased battery, excesive pressure on acid to leak resulting in personal injury. Lift with a battery carrier or with your hands on opposite corners. • Never attempt to change the battery when the battery cables are connected. • The electrical ignition system works with high voltage. Never touch these components with the engine running or the ignition switched on. C. Keep batteries out of the reach of children because batteries contain highly corrosive SULFURIC ACID. Do not allow battery acid to contact your skin, eyes, clothing or paint finish. D. If any electrolyte gets into your eyes, flush your eyes with clean water for at least 15 minutes and get immediate medical attention. If possible, continue to apply water with a sponge or cloth until medical attention is received. If electrolyte gets on your skin, throughly wash the contacted area. If you feel a pain or a burning sensation, get medical attention immediately. E. Always read the following instructions carefully when handing a battery. F. Hydrogen, which is a highly combustible gas, is always presents in battery cells and may explode if ignited. Page 6 of 19

G. An improperly disposed battery can be harmful to the environment and human health. Always confirm local regurations for battery disposal. Handling And Storage The Battery Battery Itself • Batteries should be stored in cool, dry (27 degrees Celsius) places and out of direct sunlight. • MF batteries are tightly sealed to prevent acid leakage. However, tilting the battery to an angle of 45 degrees can cause acid to leak through the vents on the sides. Therefore, batteries should always be stored in their upright positions. Prevent placing any aqueous or solid (i.e. conductors) bodies on top of the battery. • It is extremely dangerous to use tools, such as hammers, on the battery terminals when connecting cables to the mounted battery. Battery on Vehicle • When storing the vehicle for long periods of time, make sure to remove the memory fuse at junction box to prevent natural discharging. • Also, run the engine for battery charging within 1 month if the memory fuse wasn't removed from the start of vehicle storing. If the memory fuse was removed, run the engine for battery charging within 3 months from the start of vehicle storing. After reconnecting or recharging a discharged battery, the ESC OFF indicator may illuminate. In this case, turn the handle half way to the left and right whilst the ignition switch is in the ON position. Then, restart the engine after the ignition is OFF. The ESC OFF indicator may turn OFF. If the ESC OFF indicator does not turn OFF, have the system checked refering to DTC. (Refer to the BR group.) Lift And Support Points When heavy rear components such as suspension, fuel tank, spare tire, tailgate and trunk lid are to be removed, place additional weight in the luggage area before hoisting. When substatial weight is removed from the rear of the vehicle, the center of gravity may change and can cause the vehicle to tip forward on the hoist. • Since each tire/wheel assembly weights approximately 30lbs (14kg), placing the front wheels in the luggage area can assist with the weight distribution. • Use the same support points to support the vehicle on safety stands. 1. Place the lift blocks under the support points as shown in the illustration. 2. Raise the hoist a few inches (centimeters) and rock the vehicle to be sure it is firmly supported. 3. Raise the hoist to full height to inspect the lift points for secure support. Page 7 of 19

Towing If the vehicle needs to be towed, call a professional towing service. Never tow vehicle with just a rope or chain. It is very dangerous. Emergency Towing There are three popular methods of towing a vehicle : - The operator loads the vehicle on the back of truck. This is best way of transporting the vehicle. - The tow truck uses two pivoting arms that go under the tires of the driving axle and lift them off the ground. The other two wheels remain on the ground. - The tow truck uses metal cables with hooks on the ends. These hooks go around parts of the frame or suspension, and the cables lift that end of the vehicle off the ground. The vehicle's suspension and body can be seriously damaged if this method of towing is attempted. If the vehicle cannot be transported by flat-bed, should be towed with the wheels of the drivig axle off the ground and do the following : Manual Transaxle • Release the parking brake. Page 8 of 19

• Shift the Transaxle to neutral Automatic Transaxle • Release the parking brake. • Start the engine. • Shift to [D] position, then [N] position. • Turn off the engine. • The vehicle equipped with full-time 4WD should be only transported on a flat-bed. • Improper towing preparation will damage the transaxle. follow the above procedure exactly. If you cannot shift the transaxle or start the engine(automatic transaxle), your vehicle must be transported on a flatbed. • It is the best to tow vehicle no farther than 30km (19miles), and keep the speed below 50km/h (30mph). (For the full-time 4WD vehicle, limit the towing to 1.5km (1mile) and 15km/h (10mph) • Trying to lift or tow your vehicle by the bumpers will cause serious damage. The bumpers are not designed to support the vehicle's weight.

The support rod must be inserted into the hole near the edge of the hood whenever you inspect the engine compartment to prevent the hood from falling and causing possible injury. Make sure that the support rod has been released prior to closing the hood. Always check to be sure the hood is firmly latched before driving the vehicle. Preparation Of Tools And Mesuring Equipment Be sure that all necessary tools and measuring equipment are available starting work. Special Tools Use special tools when they are required. Removal Of Parts First find the cause of the problem and then determine whether removal or disassembly before starting the job. Page 10 of 19
