Hazard warning indication
lamps E00501700185
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 E00501800115
This indication lamp illuminates when
the high-beam is used.Front fog lamp indication
lamp* E00501900347
This indication lamp illuminates while
the front fog lamps are on.Rear fog lamp indication lamp E00502000114
This indication lamp illuminates while
the rear fog lamp is on.Diesel preheat indication lamp E00502300250
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.CAUTIONl If the diesel preheat indication
lamp comes on after the engine
is started, the engine speed may
not rise above the idling speed
because of fuel freezing. In this
case, keep the engine idling for
about ten minutes, then turn
off the ignition switch and im-
mediately turn it on again to
confirm that the diesel preheat
indication lamp is off.
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.Fuel filter indication lamp E00509900170
This indication lamp illuminates when
the ignition switch is turned to the “ON”
position and goes off after the engine
has started. If it lights up while the en-
gine is running, it indicates that water
has accumulated inside the fuel filter; if
this happens, remove the water from the
fuel filter.
Refer to “Removal of water from the
fuel filter” on page 6-06.
When the lamp goes out, you can re-
sume driving. If it either does not go out
or comes on from time to time, we rec-
ommend you to have the vehicle inspec-
ted.

4.After the engine coolant temperature has drop-
ped to the normal temperature, stop the engine.
5. Check the coolant level in the reserve tank.
WARNINGl If there is none, make sure that the en-
gine has cooled down before removing
the radiator cap, because hot steam or boil-
ing water otherwise will gush from the fill-
er port and may scald you.6. Add coolant to the radiator and/or reserve
tank if necessary (refer to the “Maintenance”
section.)CAUTIONl Do not add coolant while the engine is
hot. Suddenly adding cold coolant could
damage the engine. Wait for the engine to
cool down, then add coolant a little at a
time.
7. Examine the radiator hoses for coolant leak-
age and the drive belt for looseness or damage.
If there is anything wrong with the cooling
system or drive belt, we recommend you to
have it checked and repaired.

ter until the hand pump becomes stiff.
Then try again to start the engine.

you to consult a specialist for necessary infor-
mation.
