Meter, gauge and indicator/warning lamps oper-
ationRun the engine to check the operation of all meters, gauges,
and indicator/warning lamps.
If there is anything wrong, we recommend you to have your
vehicle inspected.Hinges and latches lubricationCheck all latches and hinges, and lubricate if necessary by first
cleaning and then applying multipurpose grease.
For cold and snow weather
E01002800286
Ventilation slotsThe ventilation slots in front of the windscreen should be kept
clear of leaves or brushed clear after a heavy snowfall, so that
the operation of the heating and ventilation systems will not be
impaired.WeatherstrippingTo prevent freezing of the weatherstripping on the doors, bon-
net, etc., they should be treated with silicone grease.Additional equipmentIt is a good idea to carry a shovel or a short-handled spade in
the vehicle during the winter so that you can clear away snow
if you get stranded. A small hand-brush for sweeping snow off
the vehicle and a plastic scraper for the windscreen and rear
window are also useful.

4. Insert a new fuse of the same capacity by using the fuse
puller and insert the fuse at the same place in the fuse
block.
Replacement of lamp bulbs
E01003100622
Before replacing a bulb, ensure the lamp is off. Do not touch
the glass part of the new bulb with your bare fingers; the skin
oil left on the glass will evaporate when the bulb gets hot and
the vapor will condense on the reflector and dim the surface.NOTE●If you are unsure of how to carry out the work as required,
we recommend you to consult a specialist.
●Be careful not to scratch the vehicle body when removing
a lamp and lens.
●When it rains, or when the vehicle has been washed, the
inside of the lens sometimes becomes foggy. This is the
same phenomenon as when window glass mists up on a
humid day, and does not indicate a functional problem.
When the lamp is switched on, the heat will remove the
fog. However, if water gathers inside the lamp, we recom-
mend you to have it checked.
CAUTION
!●If the newly inserted fuse blows again after a short
time, we recommend you to have the electrical sys-
tem checked to find the cause and rectify it.●Never use a fuse with a capacity larger than that
specified or any substitute, such as wire, foil, etc.;
doing so will cause the circuit wiring to heat up and
could cause a fire.
CAUTION
!●Bulbs are extremely hot immediately after being
turned off.
When replacing a bulb, wait for it to cool sufficiently
before touching it. You could otherwise be burnt.
