Precautions to observe when using wip-
ers and washers
E00507600014
l If 
the  moving  wipers  become  blocked  by  ice
or other deposits on the glass, the motor may
burn out even if the wiper switch is turned to
OFF. If obstruction occurs, park your vehicle
in  a  safe  place,  turn  off  the  ignition,  and
clean  the  deposits  from  the  glass  so  that  the
wipers operate smoothly.
l Do  not  use  the  wipers  when  the  glass  is  dry.
They  may  scratch  the  glass  surface  or  the
blades may prematurely wear out.
l Before  using  the  wipers  in  cold  weather,
check that the wiper blades are not frozen on-
to  the  glass.  The  motor  may  burn  out  if  the
wipers  are  used  with  the  blades  frozen  onto
the glass.
l Avoid  using  the  washer  continuously  for
more  than  20  seconds.  Do  not  operate  the
washer when the fluid reservoir is empty.
Otherwise, the motor may burn out.
l Periodically  check  the  level  of  washer  fluid
in the reservoir and refill if required.
During  cold  weather,  add  a  recommended
washer  solution  that  will  not  freeze  in  the
washer  reservoir.  Failure  to  do  so  could  re-
sult in loss of washer function and frost dam-
age to the system components. Headlamp washer switch*

l This 
vehicle is equipped with ignition switch
illumination. • The  ignition  switch  illumination  comeson  while  the  driver’s  door  is  opened  and
remains on for about 30 seconds after the
driver’s door is closed.
• [On vehicles with keyless entry system] When  you  get  out  of  the  vehicle  and  re-
move the ignition key, it will be illumina-
ted for about 30 seconds.
 
However, it will go off even while the il-
lumination  comes  on  if  the  ignition
switch is set to “ON” position.
l For vehicles equipped with the Daytime Run-
ning Lamp, when the ignition switch is in the
“ON” position, the headlamp low beams etc.
are turned on.
Refer to “Headlamps” on page 3-18.
l Your  vehicle  is  equipped  with  an  electronic
immobilizer. To start the engine, the ID code
which  the  transponder  inside  the  key  sends
must match the one registered in the immobil-
izer computer. (Refer to “Electronic immobil-
izer  (Anti-theft  starting  system)”  on  page
1-03.) To remove the key
For 
vehicles  with  M/T,  when  removing  the  key,

Automatic transmission fluid*
E01000600857
The 
proper amount of automatic transmission fluid
is essential to the life and operation of the automat-
ic  transmission.  Either  insufficient  fluid  or  exces-
sive  fluid  could  cause  transmission  trouble.  The
transmission fluid filler port cap is equipped with a
dipstick.  Use  the  following  procedure  to  check  the
fluid level.
Procedure for checking the fluid level
1. Check  the  fluid  level  after  the  vehicle  hasbeen driven enough to warm up the transmis-
sion fluid.
2. Park  the  vehicle  on  a  flat,  level  surface  and apply the parking brake.
3. With  the  engine  idling  and  the  brake  pedal fully depressed, move the transmission selec-
tor  lever  through  all  the  positions  from  P”
(PARK)  to  “D”  (DRIVE),  stopping  momen-
tarily at each position.
4. Move  the  selector  lever  to  the  “P”  (PARK) position.
5. Remove the dipstick and wipe it with a clean lint-free cloth.
6. Reinsert the dipstick as far as it goes. 7. Remove dipstick and read the oil level.
The  fluid level should always be between the
two marks on the dipstick. WARNING
l Do 
 not  spill  the  fluid  onto  a  hot  exhaust
manifold  during  topping  up  or  inspec-
tion, or a fire may occur.
Fluid type
Use 
 only  “DIA  QUEEN  ATF  SP  III”  transmission
fluid to ensure optimum transmission performance. Washer fluid
E01000700164
Check 
the  float  (A)  is  between  the  “FULL”  and
“EMPTY” marks on the washer fluid reservoir.
If the level is low, replenish the container with wash-
er fluid. NOTE
l The 
washer  fluid  container  serves  the  wind-
screen, rear window and headlamps*.
During cold weather
To  ensure  proper  operation  of  the  washers  at  low
temperatures,  use  a  fluid  containing  an  anti-freez-
ing agent. Maintenance
