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 parking brake lever has been engaged.
●
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

If the warning lamp illuminates while driving
E00607300416
If only the ABS warning lamp illuminates●
Avoid hard braking and high-speed driving. Stop the vehi- cle in a safe place. Restart the engine and check to see whether the lamp goesout after a few minutes driving; if it then remains off dur- ing driving, there is no problem. However, if the lamp does not go out, or if it lights upagain when the vehicle is driven, we recommend you to have the vehicle checked as soon as possible.
●
The ABS warning lamp can illuminate if the battery volt- age is insufficient when the en
gine is started. In this case,
it does not indicate an ABS fault. Charge the battery by allowing the engine to idle for awhile. If the battery has been charged but the ABS warning lamp continues to illuminate or illuminates intermittently, werecommend you to have the vehicle inspected.
If the ABS warning lamp and brake warning lamp illu- minate at the same time●
The ABS and brake force distribution function will not work, so hard braking could make the vehicle unstable. Avoid hard braking and high-speed driving. Stop the vehi- cle in a safe place and we recommend you to have thevehicle checked.

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.
