Warning lampsE00502400017Brake warning lamp E00502501637
This lamp illuminates when the ignition
switch is turned to the “ON” position,
and 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.
(vehicles with anti-lock brake sys-
tem)CAUTIONl 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, immediately the
vehicle should be brought to a
stop in a safe location and to
have it checked.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
4-44. (vehicles with anti-lock
brake system)
• 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 pedal
harder 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 to
alert the vehicles behind you.Check engine warning lamp E00502600657
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 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.CAUTIONl 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 switch is
turned to the “ON” position,
we recommend you to have the
system checked.

CAUTIONlIf 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.
Charge warning lamp E00502700821
This lamp illuminates when the ignition
switch is turned to the “ON” position,
and goes off after the engine has started.CAUTIONl If the lamp comes on while the
engine is running, the probable
cause is as shown below.
Park the vehicle immediately at
a safe place and we recommend
you to have it checked. •Broken drive belt or abnor-
mality in the charging sys-
tem. A broken drive belt cau-
ses poor braking efficiency.
Depress the brake pedal
harder than usual to park
the vehicle in a safe place.Oil pressure warning lamp E00502800620
This lamp illuminates when the ignition
switch is turned to the “ON” position,
and goes off after the engine has started.
If it illuminates while the engine is run-
ning, the oil pressure is too low.
If the warning lamp illuminates while
the engine is running, turn the engine off
and have it inspected.CAUTIONl 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 deter-
mined by checking the oil level
on the dipstick, while the en-
gine is switched off.
l If you continue driving with
low engine oil level or with this
warning lamp illuminated, en-
gine seizure may occur.
NOTE
l The oil pressure warning lamp
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 E00503300475
This lamp illuminates when a door is ei-
ther open or not completely closed.
If the vehicle speed reaches approximate-
ly 8 km/h (5 mph) with a door open or
incompletely closed, the warning lamp
flashes 16 times and a buzzer simultane-
ously sounds 16 times as a warning.
