between the drivers of both ve
hicles, and that the vehicles
travel at low speed.
CAUTION
!●
When the engine is not r
unning, the brake booster
and power steering pump do not operate. This means higher brake depression force and highersteering effort are required.
Therefore, vehicle oper-
ation is more difficult than usual.
●
Do not leave the key in the “LOCK” position or do not remove the ignition ke
y from the ignition switch
while driving. The steering
wheel will lock, causing
loss of control.

to the towing hooks or the tow rope.People in the vicinity coul
d be injured as a result.
●
When towing or being towed down a long slope, the brakes may overheat reduci
ng the effectiveness. In
this situation, have your
vehicle transported by a
tow truck.

Brake fluid
E01000900401
To check the fluid levelThe brake fluid level is monito
red by a float. When the brake
fluid level falls below the “MIN” mark, the brake fluid warning lamp lights up. The brake fluid level must be
between the “MAX” and “MIN”
marks on the reservoir.
If the level is below the “MIN
” mark, check according to the
following procedure:1. Turn the ignition key to the “LOCK” or “ACC” position. 2. Repeatedly depress the brake
pedal until significant resist-
ance is felt (normally after about 40 times).
3. Check the brake fluid level in the reservoir.
The brake fluid level must be between the “MAX” and “MIN” marks on the reservoir.
The fluid level falls slightly with wear of the brake pads, but this does not indicate any abnormality.If the brake fluid level falls markedly in a short length of time, it indicates leaks fr
om the brake system.
If this occurs, we recommend yo
u to have the vehicle checked.
