E00502601797
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.

[Vehicles to comply with the Euro 3 and
Euro 4 regulation]
This lamp will also illuminate for a few
seconds when the ignition switch is
turned to the “ON” position. If it does
not go off after a few seconds, we recom-
mend you to have the vehicle checked.

[Vehicles to comply with the Euro 5]
This lamp will also illuminate when the
ignition switch is turned to the “ON” po-
sition, and goes off after the engine has
started. If it does not go off after the en-
gine has started, we recommend you to
have the system 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. Instruments and controls

Starting
E00601600404
Tips for starting l Do
not operate the starter motor continuous-
ly for anything longer than 10 seconds; do-
ing so could run down the battery. If the en-
gine does not start, turn the ignition switch
back to “LOCK” position, wait a few sec-
onds, and then try again.
Trying repeatedly with the starter motor still
turning will damage the starter mechanism.
l If the engine cannot be started because the
battery is weak or dead, refer to the “Emer-
gency starting” section for instructions on
starting the engine.
l The engine is well warmed up if the coolant
temperature gauge needle starts to move (the
engine speed decreases). Extended warming-
up operation will result in excessive fuel con-
sumption. WARNING
l Never
run the engine in a closed or poor-
ly ventilated area any longer than is nee-
ded to move your vehicle in or out of the
area. Carbon monoxide gases are odour-
less and can be fatal. CAUTION
l
Never
attempt to start the engine by push-
ing or pulling the vehicle. Especially the
automatic transmission, since the struc-
ture is different from a manual transmis-
sion, it is not possible to start the engine
by using this technique. Never attempt
this or it could damage the automatic
transmission.
l Do not run the engine at high rpm or
drive the vehicle at high speed until the en-
gine has had a chance to warm up.
l Release the ignition key as soon as the en-
gine starts to avoid damaging the starter
motor.
l Do not stop the engine immediately after
high-speed or uphill driving. First allow
the engine to idle to give the turbocharg-
er a chance to cool down.
Starting the engine E00601701792
1. Insert
the ignition key and fasten the seat belt.
2. Make sure the parking brake is applied.
3. Depress and hold the brake pedal.
4. On vehicles with manual transmission, place
the gearshift lever in the “N” (Neutral) posi-
tion and depress the clutch pedal all the way. On vehicles with automatic transmission,
make

sure the selector lever in the “P”
(PARK) position.
Vehicles with manual
transmission Vehicles with automatic
transmission NOTE
l On

vehicles with automatic transmission, the
engine will not start if the selector lever is in
any position other than “P” (PARK) or “N”
(NEUTRAL) position.
For safety, start the engine with the selector
lever in the “P” (PARK) position because in
this position the rear wheels are locked in
place.
5. Turn the ignition key to the “ON” position. The diesel preheat indication lamp will first
illuminate, and then after a short time go out,
indicating that preheating is completed.
NOTE l If the engine is cold, the diesel preheat indi-
cation lamp is on for a longer time. Starting and driving

Automatic transmission 4A/T
E00603200619
NOTE l During
running-in period or immediately af-
ter reconnection of the battery cable, there
may be a case where gear shifts are not made
smoothly. This does not indicate a faulty trans-
mission.
Gear shifts will become smooth after the trans-
mission has been shifted several times by the
electronic control system.
Selector lever operation E00603300968
The transmission has 4 forward gears and 1 reverse
gear.
The

individual gears are selected automatically, de-
pending on the position of the gear selector lever,
the speed of the vehicle and the position of the ac-
celerator pedal.
The selector lever has 6 positions, and is equipped
with a lock button (A) to avoid inadvertent selec-
tion of the wrong gear. Lock button must be pushed to move
the selector lever.
Lock button need not be pushed to
move the selector lever.
WARNING
l If
the lock button is always pushed to op-
erate the selector lever, the selector lever
may be accidentally shifted into the fol-
lowing position:
LHD: “P”, “R”, “2” or “L”
RHD: “P”, “R” or “L”
Be sure not to push the lock button when
performing the operations indicated by in the illustration. WARNING
l Always
depress the brake pedal when
shifting the selector lever into a gear
from the “P” (PARK) or “N” (NEU-
TRAL) position.
When beginning to drive, do not shift the
selector lever from the “P” (PARK) or
“N” (NEUTRAL) position while depress-
ing the accelerator pedal, doing so is dan-
gerous because the vehicle will “jump” for-
ward or backward.
Selector lever position indicator E00603500797
When the ignition switch is turned to the “ON” po-
sition,

the currently position of the selector lever is
indicated by the indicator (A) shown on the instru-
ment cluster {i.e. “P” (PARK), “R” (REVERSE),
“N” (NEUTRAL), “D” (DRIVE), “2” (SECOND)
or “L” (LOW)}. Starting and driving

“P” PARK
This
position locks the transmission to prevent the
vehicle from moving. The engine can be started in
this position.
“R” REVERSE
This position is to back up. CAUTION
l
Never
shift into the “P” (PARK) or “R”
(REVERSE) position while the vehicle is
in motion to avoid transmission damage.
“N” NEUTRAL
At this position the transmission is disengaged. It is
the
same as the neutral position on a manual trans-
mission, and should be used when the vehicle is sta-
tionary for an extended length of time during driv-
ing, such as in a traffic jam. WARNING
l Never
move the selector lever to the “N”
(NEUTRAL) position while driving. A se-
rious accident could occur since you
could accidentally move the selector lever
into the “P” (PARK) or “R” (REVERSE)
position or you will lose engine braking.
l On a gradient the engine should be star-
ted in the “P” (PARK) position, not in the
“N” (NEUTRAL) position. WARNING
l Always
keep your right foot on the brake
pedal when the vehicle is in “N” (NEU-
TRAL) position, or when shifting into or
out of “N” (NEUTRAL) position, to mini-
mize the risk of loss of control.
“D” DRIVE
This
position is for normal driving. The transmis-
sion automatically selects a suitable gear for your
speed and acceleration. CAUTION
l
Never
shift into the “D” (DRIVE) posi-
tion from the “R” (REVERSE) position
while the vehicle is in motion to avoid
transmission damage.
“2” SECOND
This
position is for extra power when driving up
moderately steep hills, and for engine braking
when descending moderately steep gradients.
“L” LOW
This position is for driving up very steep hills and
for engine braking at low speeds when descending
steep gradients. WARNING
l This
position can be used for maximum
engine braking.
Be very careful not to shift into “L”
(LOW) position suddenly. Sudden engine
braking may cause the tyres to skid. To
avoid erroneous operation, move the selec-
tor lever firmly into each position and
briefly hold it there.
Select this position according to the road
conditions and vehicle speed.
NOTE l The A/T

has a control function that prevents
over-revving. As a result, it may not perform
a shift when the selector lever is moved from
the “D” (DRIVE) position to the “2” (SEC-
OND) position or from the “2” (SECOND)
position to the “L” (LOW) position.
Overdrive control switch E00604000089
The overdrive control switch can be used while the
selector lever is in the “D” (DRIVE) position.
During normal driving
Press

the overdrive control switch to turn the over-
drive function on. The transmission will shift auto-
matically among the 1 st
, 2 nd
, 3 rd
, and 4 th
gears, ena-
bling fuel-efficient, economical driving. Starting and driving
