l To 
avoid  erroneous  operation,  move  the  se-
lector lever firmly into each position and brief-
ly  hold  it  there.  Always  check  the  position
shown  by  the  selector  lever  position  indica-
tion lamp after moving the selector lever.
l If  the  brake  pedal  is  not  depressed  and  held,
the  shift-lock  device  activates  to  prevent  the
selector  lever  from  being  moved  from  the
“P” (PARK) position.
l For a shift indicated by   in the illustration,
depress 
the brake pedal before moving the se-
lector lever. If you attempt to move the selec-
tor  lever  before  depressing  the  brake  pedal,
the selector lever may become immovable. Selector lever position indication

When 
the  ignition  switch  is  turned  to  the
“ON”  position,  the  indication  lamps  in  the
instrument panel illuminate to show the po-
sition  of  the  selector  lever  (i.e.  “PARK”,

B- “N” indication lamp When 
the  “N”  indication  lamp  blinks  with
the  “D”  (DRIVE)  position  or  “Sports

functioning. CAUTION
l
If 
 a  malfunction  occurs  in  the  A/T  while
driving, the “N” indication lamp will blink.
In  this  case,  immediately  park  your  vehi-
cle in a safe place and follow these proce-
dures:
(The  “N”  indication  lamp  warning  func-
tion does not operate with the selector lev-
er  in  the  “P”  (PARK),  “R”  (REVERSE)
or “N” (NEUTRAL) position.)
[The  “N”  indication  lamp  blinks  rapidly
(twice per second)]
The  automatic  transmission  fluid  is  over-
heating.
Park  your  vehicle  in  a  safe  place  but  do
not turn off the engine. Move the selector
lever  to  the  “P”  (PARK)  position  and
open the bonnet. Keep the engine idling.
After  a  while,  move  the  selector  lever  to
the  “D”  (DRIVE)  position  and  confirm
that  the  “N”  indication  lamp  stops  blink-
ing.  It  is  safe  to  continue  driving  if  the
“N”  indication  lamp  no  longer  is  no  lon-
ger blinking.
If the “N” indication lamp continues blink-
ing  or  blinks  intermittently,  we  recom-
mend you to have your vehicle inspected.
[The  “N”  indication  lamp  blinks  slowly
(once per second)]
The  A/T  safety  device  may  be  operating
due to a malfunction.
We  recommend  you  to  have  your  vehicle
inspected as soon as possible. Starting and driving

The regulations concerning towing may differ from
country 
to  country.  It  is  recommended  that  you
obey the regulations of the area where you are driv-
ing your vehicle. Towing the vehicle by a tow truck
CAUTION
l
This 
 vehicle  must  not  be  towed  by  a  tow
truck  using  sling  lift  type  equipment
(Type A) as illustrated.
Using a sling lift will damage the bumper
and front end.
l If  the  transmission  is  malfunctioning  or
damaged,  transport  the  vehicle  with  the
driving  wheels  on  a  carriage  (Type  C,  D
or E) as illustrated.
l [For vehicles equipped with the Active sta-
bility control (ASC) system]
If  the  vehicle  is  towed  with  the  ignition
key  in  the  “ON”  position  and  only  the
front  wheels  or  only  the  rear  wheels
raised off the ground, the traction control
function may operate, resulting in an acci-
dent.
l If you tow an A/T vehicle with the driving
wheels on the ground (Type B) as illustra-
ted,  make  sure  that  the  towing  speed  and
distance  given  below  are  never  exceeded,
causing damage to the transmission.
Towing speed: 50 km/h (30 mph)
Towing distance: 30 km (19 miles)
 
For  the  towing  speed  and  the  towing  dis-
tance,  follow  the  local  driving  laws  and
regulations. Towing with rear wheels off the ground (Type B)
Place 
the  gearshift  lever  in  the  “N”  (Neutral)  posi-
tion  (M/T)  or  the  selector  lever  in  the  “N”  (NEU-
TRAL) position (A/T). Turn the ignition key to the
“ACC”  position  and  secure  the  steering  wheel  in  a
straight  ahead  position  with  a  rope  or  tie-down
strap.  Never  place  the  ignition  key  in  the  “LOCK”
position when towing. CAUTION
l
Never 
 tow  an  A/T  vehicle  with  the  rear
wheels  up  (and  the  front  wheels  on  the
ground) when the automatic transmission
fluid  level  is  low.  This  may  cause  serious
and expensive damage to the transmission.
Towing with front wheels off the ground (Type C)
Release the parking brake.
Place 
 the  gearshift  lever  in  the  “N”  (Neutral)  posi-
tion  (M/T)  or  the  selector  lever  in  the  “N”  (NEU-
TRAL) position (A/T).
Emergency towing
If  towing  service  is  not  available  in  an  emergency,
your  vehicle  may  be  temporarily  towed  by  a  rope
secured to the towing hook.
If your vehicle is to be towed by another vehicle or
if your vehicle tows another vehicle, pay careful at-
tention to the following points:
If your vehicle is to be towed by another vehicle
1. Take out the towing hook, wheel nut wrenchand  jack  bar.  (Refer  to  “Tools  and  jack”  on
page 6-06.) For emergencies

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
