3Indicator lamps
E00501600012
Turn-signal indicator lamps/Hazard
warning indicator lamps
E00501700042
These indicator lamps blink on and off when a
turn-signal lamp is operating.
NOTE●
If the blinking is too fast, the cause may be
a faulty turn-signal connection or a blown
lamp bulb.
When the hazard warning lamp switch is
pressed, all turn-signal lamps will flash on and
off continuously.
High-beam indicator lampE00501800072
This indicator lamp illuminates when the high
beam is used.
Front fog lamp indicator lamp*E00501900158
This indicator lamp illuminates while the front
fog lamps are on.
Rear fog lamp indication lampE00502000084
This indication lamp illuminates while the rear
fog lamp is on.
Low coolant temperature indicator
lamp
E00502200028
When the engine coolant temperature is low, this
indicator lamp illuminates and then goes out
when the temperature rises to roughly 40 °C or
more.
NOTE● When the indicator lamp goes out, this
should be used as a rough indication of
when the heating starts working.
● If the indicator lamp stays illuminated,
there may be a fault in the temperature sen-
sor or other component. We recommend
you to have your vehicle inspected.

Headlamp flasherE00506300043
The high beams flash when the lever is pulled slightly to (2),
and will go off when it is released.
When the high beam is on, the high beam indicator lamp in the
instrument cluster will also illuminate.
NOTE● The high beams can also flash when the lamp switch is
OFF.
● If you turn the lamps off with the headlamps set to high-
beam illumination, the h eadlamps are automatically
returned to their low-beam setting when the lamp switch
is next turned to the “ ” position.
Headlamp levelling switch
E00506400581
The angle of the headlamp b eam varies depending upon the
load carried by the vehicle.
The headlamp levelling switch (A) can be used to adjust the
headlamp illumination distance (when the lower beam is illu-
minated) so that the headlamps’ glare does not distract the
drivers of approaching vehicles.
Set the switch (referring to the following table) to the appropri-
ate position according to the numb er of people and the load in
the vehicle.
