CAUTION
l
The  safety mechanism is cancelled just be-
fore  the  sunroof  is  fully  closed.  This  al-
lows the sunroof to close completely.
Therefore be especially careful that no fin-
gers are trapped in the sunroof.
NOTE l The 
sunroof  stops  just  before  reaching  the
fully open position.
If  the  vehicle  is  driven  with  the  sunroof  in
this  position,  wind  throb  is  lower  than  with
the sunroof fully open.
l When  leaving  the  vehicle  unattended,  make
sure you close the sunroof and remove the ig-
nition key.
l Do  not  try  to  operate  the  sunroof  if  it  is  fro-
zen closed (after snow fall or during extreme
cold).
l Do not sit or place heavy luggage on the sun-
roof or roof opening edge.
l Release the switch as soon as the sunroof rea-
ches the fully open or fully closed position.
l If the sunroof does not operate when the sun-
roof  switch  is  operated,  release  the  switch
and  check  whether  something  is  trapped  by
the sunroof. If nothing is trapped, we recom-
mend you to have the sunroof checked.
l Depending  on  the  model  of  ski  carriers  or
roof  carriers,  the  sunroof  may  make  contact
with the carrier when the sunroof is tilted up.
Be careful when tilting up the sunroof if such
a ski carrier or a roof carrier is installed.
l Be  sure  to  close  the  sunroof  completely
when  washing  the  vehicle  or  when  leaving
the vehicle. l
Be 
 careful, not to put any wax on the weath-
erstrip  (black  rubber)  around  the  sunroof
opening.  If  stained  with  wax,  the  weather-
strip  cannot  maintain  a  weatherproof  seal
with the sunroof.
l After  washing  the  vehicle  or  after  it  has
rained, wipe off any water that is on the sun-
roof before operating it.
l Operating the sunroof repeatedly with the en-
gine stationary will run down the battery. Op-
erate the sunroof while the engine is running.
Sunshade
Slide the sunshade manually to open and close it. CAUTION
l
Be 
 careful  that  hands  are  not  trapped
when closing the sunshade. By the following operation, the sunshade will open
together with the sunroof.
To open
When 
the switch is pressed, the sunshade will open
together with the sunroof.
NOTE
l The sunshade cannot be closed with the sun-
roof opened. Do not attempt to close the sun-
shade when the sunroof is opened. Locking and unlocking

lamps
E00501700329
These 
indication  lamps  blink  on  and  off
when a turn-signal lamp is operating.
NOTE
l If  the  blinking  is  too  fast,  the
cause  may  be  a  blown  lamp  bulb
or a faulty turn-signal connection.
When the hazard warning lamp switch is
pressed,  all  turn-signal  lamps  will  flash
on and off continuously. High-beam indication lamp
E00501800160
This 
indication  lamp  illuminates  when
the high-beam is used. Front fog lamp indication lamp

Diesel preheat indication lamp
(diesel-powered vehicles)
E00502300061
This 
indication  lamp  illuminates  when
the ignition switch is placed in the “ON”
position.  As  the  glow  plug  becomes  hot,
the  lamp  goes  out  and  the  engine  can  be
started.  If  it  does  not  go  off  after  a  few
seconds, we recommend you to have the
vehicle checked.
NOTE
l If the engine is cold, the diesel pre-
heat indication lamp is on for a lon-
ger time.
l When the engine has not been star-
ted  within  about  5  seconds  after
the  diesel  preheat  indication  lamp
went  out,  return  the  ignition
switch  to  the  “LOCK”  position.
Then,  turn  the  switch  to  the  “ON”
position  to  preheat  the  engine
again.
l When the engine is warm, the die-
sel  preheat  indication  lamp  does
not  come  on  even  if  the  ignition
switch is placed in the “ON” posi-
tion. Warning lamps
E00502400017 Brake warning lamp
E00502501930
This 
lamp  illuminates  when  the  ignition
switch  is  turned  to  the  “ON”  position,
and the lamp goes off after a few seconds.
Always make sure that the lamp goes off
before driving.
With the ignition switch in the “ON” po-
sition,  the  brake  warning  lamp  illumi-
nates under the following conditions:
l When  the  parking  brake  lever  has
been engaged.
l When  the  brake  fluid  level  in  the
reservoir falls to a low level.
l When  the  brake  force  distribution
function is not operating correctly. CAUTION
l
In 
 the  situations  listed  below,
brake performance may be com-
promised or the vehicle may be-
come unstable if brakes are ap-
plied  suddenly;  consequently,
avoid  driving  at  high  speeds  or
applying  the  brakes  suddenly.
Furthermore,  the  vehicle
should be brought to a stop in a
safe  location  and  to  have  it
checked. Instruments and controls

CAUTION
• The brake  warning  lamp
does  not  illuminate  when
the parking brake is applied
or  does  not  turn  off  when
the  parking  brake  is  re-
leased.
• The  ABS  warning  lamp  and brake  warning  lamp  illumi-
nate at the same time.
For  details,  refer  to  “ABS
warning  lamp”  on  page

• The brake warning lamp re- mains  illuminated  during
driving.
l The  vehicle  should  be  brought
to  a  halt  in  the  following  man-
ner  when  brake  performance
has deteriorated.
• Depress  the  brake  pedalharder than usual.
Even  if  the  brake  pedal
moves  down  to  the  very  end
of its possible stroke, keep it
pressed down hard.
• Should  the  brakes  fail,  use engine  braking  to  reduce
your  speed  and  carefully
pull the parking brake lever
to park your vehicle.
Depress  the  brake  pedal  to
operate  the  stop  lamp
(brake lamp) to alert the ve-
hicles behind you. Check engine warning lamp
(petrol-powered vehicles)
E00502601351
This 
lamp  is  a  part  of  an  onboard  diag-
nostic  system  which  monitors  the  emis-
sions, engine and automatic transmission
control systems.
If  a  problem  is  detected  in  one  of  these
systems, this lamp illuminates.
Although  your  vehicle  will  usually  be
drivable and not need towing, we recom-
mend you to have the system checked as
soon as possible.
This  lamp  will  also  illuminate  for  a  few
seconds  when  the  ignition  key  is  turned
to  the  “ON”  position.  If  it  does  not  go
off  after  a  few  seconds,  we  recommend
you to have the vehicle checked. CAUTION
l
Prolonged 
 driving  with  this
lamp on may cause further dam-
age  to  the  emission  control  sys-
tem.  It  could  also  affect  fuel
economy and drivability.
l If  the  lamp  does  not  illuminate
when  the  ignition  key  is  turned
to the “ON” position, we recom-
mend  you  to  have  the  system
checked. CAUTION
l
If 
 the  lamp  illuminates  while
the  engine  is  running,  avoid
driving  at  high  speeds  and  we
recommend you to have the sys-
tem checked.
During  vehicle  operation  with
the  lamp  illuminated,  the  vehi-
cle  may  not  accelerate  when
you depress the accelerator ped-
al.
When  the  vehicle  is  stationary
with  the  lamp  illuminated,  you
must  depress  the  brake  pedal
more  firmly  than  usual  since
the  engine  idling  speed  is  high-
er  than  usual  and  the  vehicle
with an A/T has a stronger ten-
dency to creep forward.
NOTE l The 
engine electronic control mod-
ule accommodating the onboard di-
agnostic  system  has  various  fault
data  (especially  about  the  exhaust
emission) stored.
This  data  will  be  erased  if  a  bat-
tery  cable  is  disconnected  which
will  make  a  rapid  diagnosis  diffi-
cult.  Do  not  disconnect  a  battery
cable when the check engine warn-
ing lamp is ON. Instruments and controls

goes off after the engine has started. CAUTION
l
If 
 it  illuminates  while  the  en-

E00502800659
This 
lamp  illuminates  when  the  ignition
key  is  turned  to  the  “ON”  position,  and
goes off after the engine has started. If it
illuminates  while  the  engine  is  running,
the oil pressure is too low.
If  the  warning  lamp  illuminates  while
the engine is running, turn the engine off
and have it inspected. CAUTION
l
If 
 this  lamp  illuminates  when
the  engine  oil  level  is  not  low,
have it inspected.
l This  warning  lamp  does  not  in-
dicate  the  amount  of  oil  in  the
crankcase.
This  must  be  determined  by
checking the oil level on the dip-

should not be treated as an indica-
tion  of  the  engine’s  oil  level.  The
oil  level  must  be  checked  using
the dipstick. Door ajar warning lamp
E00503300765
This 
lamp  illuminates  when  a  door  or
the tailgate is either open or incomplete-
ly closed.
If the vehicle speed reaches approximate-
ly 8 km/h (5 mph) with a door or the tail-
gate  open  or  incompletely  closed,  the
