Fuel filter indication lamp (diesel-powered vehicles)
E00509900040
This indication lamp illuminates when the igni- tion switch is turned to the “ON” position andgoes off after the engine has started. If it lights up while the engine is ru
nning, it indicates that
water has accumulated inside the fuel filter; ifthis happens, remove the
water from the fuel fil-
ter. When the lamp goes out, you can resume driv-ing. If it either does not go out or comes on from time to time, we recommend you to have the vehicle inspected.

●
When the brake fluid level in the reservoir falls to a low level.
●
When the brake circuit
is not operating cor-
rectly.
Brake warning buzzer When there is a danger of brake performance becoming compromised,
a buzzer will sound to
alert the driver. If this
buzzer should continue to
sound, park your vehicl
e in a safe place and we
recommend you to have it checked.NOTE●

the engine compart-
ment. This type of noise is normal and there is no need for concer
n. In fact, it indicates
that the corresponding devices are operating normally.
●
The brake system uses
brake fluid pressu-
rized by the pump. Please refer to “Braking” on page 4-56.
