Selector lever positions (Main gate)
E00603800077
“P” PARKThis position locks the transmission to prevent the vehicle
from moving. The engine can be started in this position.“R” REVERSEMove the lever to this position only after the vehicle has come
to a complete stop.“N” NEUTRALAt this position the transmission is disengaged. It is the same as
the neutral position on a M/T, and should be used when the
vehicle is stationary for an extended length of time during driv-
ing, such as in a traffic jam.
CAUTION
!●If a malfunction occurs in the A/T while driving, the
“N” indication lamp will blink.
In this case, immediately park your vehicle in a safe
place and follow these procedure:
(The “N” indication lamp warning function does not
operate with the selector lever in the “P” (PARK),
“R” (REVERSE) or “N” (NEUTRAL) position.)
[The “N” indication lamp blinks rapidly (twice per
second)]
The automatic transmission fluid is overheating.
Park your vehicle in a safe place but do not turn off
the engine. Move the selector lever to the
“P” (PARK) position and open the bonnet. Keep the
engine idling.
After a while, move the selector lever to the
“D” (DRIVE) position and confirm that the
“N” indication lamp stops blinking. It is safe to con-
tinue driving if the “N” indication lamp no longer
blinks.
If the “N” indication lamp continues blinking or
blinks intermittently, we recommend you to have
your vehicle inspected.
[The “N” indication lamp blinks slowly (once per
second)]
The A/T safety device may be operating due to a
malfunction.
We recommend you to have your vehicle inspected
as soon as possible.
CAUTION
!●Never shift into the “P” (PARK) or “R”
(REVERSE) position while the vehicle is in motion.
If the lever is shifted into the “P” (PARK) or “R”
(REVERSE) position while the vehicle is in motion,
the transmission may be damaged.
WARNING
!●Never move the selector lever to the “N” (NEU-
TRAL) position while driving. A serious accident
could occur since you could accidentally move the
lever into the “P” (PARK) or “R” (REVERSE) posi-
tion or you will lose engine braking.

6 Engine overheating
E00800601305
If the water temperature gauge indication remains in the over-
heating zone for a long time, the engine may be overheating. If
this occurs, take the following corrective measures:
1. Stop the vehicle in a safe place.
2. Check whether steam is coming from the engine compart-
ment.
[If steam does not come from the engine compartment]
With the engine still running, raise the bonnet to ventilate
the engine compartment.
[If steam is coming from the engine compartment]
Stop the engine, and when the steam stops, raise the bon-
net to ventilate the engine compartment. Restart the
engine.3. Confirm that the radiator fan is turning. If the fan is not
turning, stop the engine immediately and have it checked.
WARNING
!●Do not open the bonnet while steam is coming from
the engine compartment. It could cause steam or hot
water to spurt out, causing burns. Hot water could
spurt out even when there is no steam coming out,
and some parts will be very hot. Be very careful
when opening the bonnet.●Be careful of hot steam, which could be blowing off
the reserve tank cap.●Do not attempt to remove the radiator cap (petrol-
powered vehicles) or reserve tank cap (diesel-pow-
ered vehicles) while the engine is hot.

●Dirty genuine leather seat may mildew. Be very careful
about oil stains and remove them quickly.
●The genuine leather surface may harden and shrink if it is
exposed to direct rays of the sun for long hours. When
your vehicle is parked, place it in the shade as much as
possible.
●When the temperature of the vehicle interior rises in sum-
mer, vinyl products left on the genuine leather seat may
deteriorate and stick to the seat.
Cleaning the exterior of your vehicle
E00900700182
If the following is left on your vehicle, it may cause corrosion,
discolouration and stains, wash the vehicle as soon as possible.
●Seawater, anti-freeze for road use.
●Soot and dust, iron powder from factories, chemical sub-
stance (acids, alkalis, coal-tar, etc.).
●Droppings from birds, carcasses of insects, tree sap, etc.Wa s h i n g
E00900901123
Chemicals contained in the dirt and dust picked up from the
road surface can damage the paint coat and body of your vehi-
cle if left in prolonged contact.
Frequent washing and waxing is the best way to protect your
vehicle from this damage. This will also be effective in protect-
ing it from environmental elements such as rain, snow, salt air,
etc.
Do not wash the vehicle in direct sunlight. Park the vehicle in
the shade and spray it with water to remove dust. Next, using
an ample amount of clean water and a car washing brush or
sponge, wash the vehicle from top to bottom.
Use a mild car washing soap if necessary. Rinse thoroughly
and wipe dry with a soft cloth. After washing the vehicle, care-
fully clean the joints and flanges of the doors, bonnet, etc.,
where dirt is likely to remain.
CAUTION
!●When washing the under side of your vehicle or
wheel, be careful not to injure your hands.

During cold weatherThe salt and other chemicals spread on the roads in some areas
in winter can have a harmful effect on the vehicle body. You
should therefore wash the vehicle as often as possible in
accordance with our care-instructions. It is recommended to
have a preservative applied and the underfloor protection
checked before and after the cold weather season.
After washing your vehicle, wipe off all waterdrops from the
rubber parts around the doors to prevent the doors from freez-
ing.NOTE●To prevent freezing of the weatherstripping on the doors,
bonnet, etc., they should be treated with silicone spray.
●Refrain from using a car wash as its brushes may
scratch the paint surface, causing it to lose its gloss.
Scratches will be especially visible on darker col-
oured vehicles.●Never spray or splash water on the electrical compo-
nents in the engine compartment, as this may
adversely affect engine starting.
Exercise caution also when washing the underbody;
be careful not to spray water into the engine com-
partment.●Some types of hot water washing equipment apply
high pressure and heat to the vehicle. They may
cause heat distortion and damage to the vehicle resin
parts and may result in flooding of the vehicle inte-
rior. Therefore; observe the following.
• Maintain a good distance of approx. 50 cm or more
between the vehicle body and the washing nozzle.
• When washing around the door glass, hold the
nozzle at a distance of more than 50 cm and at
right angles to the glass surface.
●Using an automatic car wash, pay attention to the
following items, refering to the operation manual or
consulting a car wash operator. If the following pro-
cedure is not followed, it could result in damage to
your vehicle.
• The outside mirrors are retracted.
• The rear wiper arm assembly is taped or removed.
• If your vehicle is equipped with a rear deflector or
roof rails, consult a car wash operator before using
the car wash.CAUTION
!
●After washing the vehicle, drive the vehicle slowly
while lightly depressing the brake pedal several
times in order to dry out the brakes.
Leaving the brakes wet could result in reduced
braking performance.
Also, there is a possibility that they could freeze up
or become inoperative due to rust, rendering the
vehicle unable to move.
