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.

Parking brakeE00600501562
To park the vehicle, first bring it to a complete
stop, fully engage the parking brake, and then
move the gearshift lever to 1 st
(on an uphill) or Re-
verse (on a downhill) position for vehicles with man-
ual transmission or set the selector lever to “P”
(PARK) position on automatic transmission vehi-
cles.CAUTIONl Before driving, be sure that the parking
brake is fully released and brake warning
lamp is off.
If a vehicle is driven without releasing the
parking brake, the brake will be overhea-
ted, resulting in ineffective braking and
possible brake failure.
l When you intend to apply the parking
brake, firmly press the brake pedal to
bring the vehicle to a complete stop be-
fore pulling the parking brake lever. Pull-
ing the parking brake lever with the vehi-
cle moving could make the rear wheels
lock up, thereby making the vehicle unsta-
ble. It could also make the parking brake
malfunction.
l If the brake warning lamp does not extin-
guish when the parking brake is fully re-
leased, the brake system may be an abnor-
mal.
Have your vehicle checked immediately.
For details, refer to “Brake warning
lamp” on page 3-08.Type 1

Parking E00600601202
Parking on a hill
To prevent the vehicle from rolling, follow these
procedures:
Parking on a downhill slope
Turn the front wheels towards the kerb and move
the vehicle forward until the kerb side wheel gently
touches the kerb.
Set the parking brake and place the gearshift lever
into the “R” (Reverse) position (with M/T) or the
selector lever into the “P” (PARK) position (with
A/T).
If necessary, apply chocks to wheels.
Parking on an uphill slope
Turn the front wheels away from the kerb and
move the vehicle back until the kerb side wheel gen-
tly touches the kerb.
Set the parking brake and place the gearshift lever
into the 1 st
position (with M/T) or the selector lever
into the “P” (PARK) position (with A/T).
If necessary, apply chocks to wheels.
NOTE l If your vehicle is equipped with
A/T, be sure
to apply the parking brake before moving the
selector lever to the “P” (PARK) position. If
you move the selector lever to the “P”
(PARK) position before applying the parking
brake, it may be difficult to disengage the se-
lector lever from the “P” (PARK) position
when next you drive the vehicle, requiring ap-
plication of a strong force to the selector lev-
er to move from the “P” (PARK) position.Parking with the engine running
Never leave the engine running while you take a
short sleep/rest. Also, never leave the engine run-
ning in a closed or poorly ventilated place.WARNINGl Leaving the engine running risks injury
or death from accidentally moving the
gearshift lever (on M/T vehicles) or the se-
lector lever (on A/T vehicles) or the accu-
mulation of toxic exhaust fumes in the pas-
senger compartment.
Where you park
Your front bumper can be damaged if you scrape it
over kerbs or parking stop blocks. Be careful when
travelling up or down steep slopes where your bump-
er can scrape the road.
WARNINGl Do not park your vehicle in areas where
combustible materials such as dry grass
or leaves can come in contact with a hot
exhaust, since a fire could occur.
When leaving the vehicle
Always remove the key from the ignition switch
and lock all doors when leaving the vehicle unatten-
ded.
Always try to park your vehicle in a well lit area.
