NOTE●
When the vehicle has been re
fuelled, the pointer in the
fuel gauge takes a short while to stabilize.
●
The fuel gauge will not give
an accurate indication if the
vehicle is refuelled with the ignition switch in the “ON”position.
●
When the engine on diesel-pow
ered vehicles fails to oper-
ate owing to running out of fuel, it may sometimes be dif-ficult to start after refuelling.
This is due to air entering
the fuel system. Therefore, ai
r must be bled from the sys-
tem. (Refer to “Bleeding th
e fuel system” on page 6-9.)
Fuel lid markThe fuel lid mark (A) indicates
that the fuel tank filler door is
located on the right side of the vehicle.
Low fuel warning lamp
E00508100595
The warning lamp (A) illuminates when the fuel level is get-ting low (approx. 10 litres) with the ignition switch in the “ON” position. Refuel as soon as possible.NOTE●
On inclines or curves, due to
the movement of fuel in the
tank, the low fuel warning lamp may indicate incorrectly.

Bleeding the fuel system
(diesel-powered vehicles only)
E00800700149
The fuel system should be bled to remove air as described below if the fuel supply is exhausted during travel. Pump the hand pump (A) at the top of the fuel filter until the hand pump becomes stiff.Then try again to start the engine. If the engine does not star
t, repeat the process above.
Removal of water from the fuel filter
(diesel-powered vehicles only)
E00800800140
If the fuel filter indication lamp in the instrument panel illumi- nates during driving, it indicates
that water has accumulated in

2. Operate the hand pump (B) slowly 6 or 7 times in order to
force the water out through the drain plug.
3. Tighten the drain plug when water no longer comes out. 4. Bleed the air in the fuel system.
(Refer to “Bleeding the fu
el system” on page 6-9.)
5. Check to be sure that the fuel filter indication lamp illumi-
nates when the ignition switch is turned to “ON”, and that it goes off when the engine is started. If in doubt, we rec- ommend you to have your vehicle inspected.
CAUTION
!●
Do not smoke or have any other open flame near the vehicle while bleedin
g the fuel system.
●
Be sure to carefully clean away any water drained out because any fuel mixe
d with the water could
ignite and cause a fire.
