Heated seats*
E00401100289
The heated seats can be operated
with the ignition switch in the
“ON” position. Operate the switch as indicated by arrows. The indication lamp (A) will illuminate while the heater is on.1- Heater high (for quick heating). 2- Heater off.3- Heater low (to keep the seat warm).
CAUTION
!●
Switch off seat heat
ers when not in use.
●
Operate in the high positi
on for quick heating. Once
the seat is warm, set the
heater to low to keep it
warm. Slight variations in
seat temperature may be
felt while using the heated
seats. This is caused by
the operation of the heater’s
internal thermostat and
does not indicate a malfunction.
●
If the following types of p
ersons use the heated seats,
they might become too ho
t or receive minor burns
(red skin, heat blisters, etc.):• Children, elderly or ill people • People with sensitive skin • Excessively tired people • People under the influe
nce of alcohol or sleep
inducing medication (cold medicine, etc.)
●
Do not place heavy objects on the seat or stick pins, needles, or other poin
ted objects into it.
●
Do not use a blanket, cushio
n, or other material with
high heat insulation prop
erties on the seat while
using the heater; this migh
t cause the heater element
to overheat.
●
When cleaning the seat,
do not use benzene, gaso-
line, alcohol, or other organic solvents; this might damage the surface of the
seat and also the heater
element.
●
If water or any other liquid
is spilled on the seat,
allow it to dry thoroughly
before attempting to use
the heater.
●
Turn the heater off immediately if it appears to be malfunctioning during use.CAUTION

NOTE●
Avoid sudden braking, acceler
ation, and turning; such
operations could result in the vehicle becoming stuck.
●
If the vehicle becomes stuck in sandy or muddy roads, it can often be moved a rocking motion. Move the selectorlever rhythmically between
the “D” (DRIVE) and “R”
(REVERSE) position (with M/T, between 1st and Reverse), while applying sli
ght pressure to the accelerator
pedal.
●
It is recommended to start th
e vehicle with parking brake
partially, but not completely, applied by slightly pullingthe parking brake lever. After the vehicle has become fr
ee, do not forget to release
the parking brake.
●
If it is necessary to drive in extremely muddy conditions, the use of tyre chains is recommended. Because the extent of muddy conditions is difficult to judge and the vehiclecould become bogged down very deeply, operation should be at a low speed. If possible
, get out of the vehicle and
check the conditions ah
ead before proceeding.
●
Driving over roads in coastal
areas or roads on which anti-
skid preparations have been
spread can cause rust on the
vehicle; wash the vehicle thoroughly as soon as possibleafter such use.
CAUTION
!●
Do not force the vehicle or drive recklessly on sandy surfaces. In comparison wi
th normal road surfaces,
the engine and other driv
e-system components are
put under excessive strain
when driving on such a
surface, and this coul
d lead to accidents.
●
If any of following conditions occur while the vehicle is being driven, immediatel
y park your vehicle in a
safe place and follow these procedures:• The needle in the temp
erature gauge approaches
the overheating zone. Refer to “Engine overheating” on page 6-6. • A/T fluid temperature warning lamp illuminates. Refer to “When the A/T fluid temperature warn-ing lamp comes on” on page 4-31.WARNING
!●
When attempting to rock your vehicle out of a stuck position, be sure that the area around the vehicle is clear of people and physic
al objects. The rocking
motion may cause the vehicle to suddenly launch forward or backward, caus
ing injury or damage to
nearby people or objects.

Braking
E00607000905
All the parts of the brake system
are critical to safety. We rec-
ommend you to have the vehicle
checked at regular intervals
according the service booklet.Brake systemThe service brake is divided in
to two brake circuits so that
when one brake circuit fails, the
other is available to stop the
vehicle. In this situation, even if the brake pedal moves down to the very end of its possible stroke, keep it pressed down hard; stop driving as soon as possible and have the brake sys-tem repaired. For details, refer to “Brake warning lamp” on page 3-13.
Power brakesThe power brakes use brake fl
uid pressurized by the pump to
power-assist the brake.
If the brake system fails during driving,
the brake warning lamp comes
on and a buzzer sounds continu-
ously. In this case, the br
ake may not work properly.
If this buzzer should continue to
sound, park your vehicle in a
safe place and have the system checked. Refer to “Brake warning lamp” on page 3-13.NOTE●
Depressing the brake pedal re
peatedly may turn on the
brake warning lamp, ABS warning lamp and brake warn-ing buzzer. (The ASTC indicat
ion lamp and active stabil-
ity control function OFF indication lamp also turn on.) It is normal if the lamp goes out and the buzzer stops sound-ing after a few seconds.
●
In certain cases immediately after the engine has been started or when the brake peda
l is depressed repeatedly, a
noise generated by operation of brake devices may be heard coming from the engine compartment. This type of noise is normal and there is no
need for concern. In fact, it
indicates that the correspondi
ng devices are operating nor-
mal.
CAUTION
!●
Avoid driving habits that cause heavy braking and never “ride” the brakes by
resting your foot on the
brake pedal while driving. It causes brake overheating and fade.
CAUTION
!●
Bring the vehicle to halt in a safe location by apply- ing the brakes gently. Appl
ying the brakes rapidly
or driving at high speed may make the vehicleunstable.

Wa r n i n g l a m p●
The brake warning lamp illuminates to indicate a fault in the braking system. Read “Brake warning lamp” on page 3-13.
●
On vehicles with the rear di
fferential lock, the active sta-
bility & traction control (AST
C) and anti-lock brake sys-
tem (ABS) functions are
suspended while the rear
differential lock is activat
ed. ASTC indication lamp,
active stability control function OFF indication lamp, ABS warning lamp and brake warning lamp are illumi- nated while these functions are suspended. It does notindicate a problem. When the re
ar differential lock is dis-
engaged, these lamps go out and function again. Refer to “Brake warning lamp” on page 3-13, “ABSwarning lamp” on page 4-60, “ASTC indication lamp” on page 4-64, “Active stability control function OFF indica- tion lamp” on page 4-67.
When brakes are wetCheck the brake system while dr
iving at a low speed immedi-
ately after starting, especially wh
en the brakes are wet, to con-
firm they work normally. A film of water can be formed
on the brake discs and prevent
normal braking after driving in heavy rain or through largepuddles, or after the vehicle is washed. If this occurs, dry the brakes out by driving slowly while lightly depressing the brake pedal.When driving downhillIt is important to take advantage of the engine braking by shift-ing to a lower shift position while driving on steep downhill roads in order to prevent th
e brakes from overheating.
WARNING
!●
Never coast downhill with
the engine OFF. Keep the
engine running whenever your
vehicle is in motion.
If you turn off the engine
while driving, the power
brake booster will stop
working and your brakes
will not work as well.
●
If the power assist is lost
or if either brake hydraulic
system stops working properly, have your vehicle checked immediately.
WARNING
!●
Do not leave any objects near the brake pedal or let a floor mat slide
under it; doing so could prevent the
full pedal stroke that would be necessary in an emer-gency. Make sure that the pedal can be operated freely at all times. Make sure the floor mat is securely held in place.
