Release the
switch as soon as the sunroof rea-
ches the fully open or fully closed position.
l If the sunroof does not operate when the sun-
roof switch is operated, release the switch
and check whether something is trapped by
the sunroof. If nothing is trapped, we recom-
mend you to have the sunroof checked.
l Depending on the model of ski carriers or
roof carriers, the sunroof may make contact
with the carrier when the sunroof is tilted up.
Be careful when tilting up the sunroof if such
a ski carrier or a roof carrier is installed.
l Be sure to close the sunroof completely
when washing the vehicle or when leaving
the vehicle.
l Be careful, not to put any wax on the weath-
erstrip (black rubber) around the sunroof
opening. If stained with wax, the weather-
strip cannot maintain a weatherproof seal
with the sunroof.
l After washing the vehicle or after it has
rained, wipe off any water that is on the sun-
roof before operating it.
l Operating the sunroof repeatedly with the en-
gine stationary will run down the battery. Op-
erate the sunroof while the engine is running. Sunshade

CAUTION
l
Switch off seat heaters when not in use.
l Operate in
the

high position for quick heat-
ing. Once the seat is warm, set the heater
to low to keep it warm. Slight variations
in seat temperature may be felt while us-
ing the heated seats. This is caused by the
operation of the heater’s internal thermo-
stat and does not indicate a malfunction. Seat and seat belts

Fuel gauge
E00500700856
The fuel gauge
indicates the fuel level in the fuel
tank when the ignition switch is in the “ON” position. F- Full
E- Empty
CAUTION
l
For petrol-powered
vehicles,
do not drive
with an extremely low fuel level; running
out of fuel could cause damage to the cat-
alytic converter.
l For diesel-powered vehicles, do not drive
with an extremely low fuel level; running
out of fuel could cause damage to the fuel
system.
NOTE l When
the vehicle

has been refuelled, the point-
er in the fuel gauge takes a short while to sta-
bilize. l
The fuel gauge will not give an accurate indi-
cation
if
the

vehicle is refuelled with the igni-
tion switch in the “ON” position.
l When the engine on diesel-powered vehicles
fails to operate due to running out of fuel, it
may sometimes be difficult to start after refu-
eling. This is due to air entering the fuel sys-
tem. Therefore, air must be bled from the sys-
tem. (Refer to “Bleeding the fuel system” on
page 6-06.)
Fuel lid mark
The fuel lid mark (A) indicates that the fuel tank fill-
er door is located on the right side of the vehicle.
Low fuel warning lamp E00508100595
The warning lamp (A) illuminates when the fuel lev-
el is getting

low (approx. 10 litres) with the igni-
tion switch in the “ON” position. Refuel as soon as
possible. NOTE
l On
inclines or

curves, due to the movement
of fuel in the tank, the low fuel warning lamp
may indicate incorrectly.
Water temperature gauge E00500800408
The water temperature gauge indicates the engine
coolant temperature when

the ignition switch is in
the “ON” position. CAUTION
l
If the indication
needle enters the H zone
while the engine is running, it indicates
that the engine is possibly overheating. Im-
mediately park your vehicle in a safe
place and make the necessary correc-
tions. (Refer to “Engine overheating” on
page 6-04.)
While driving, care should always be tak-
en to maintain the normal operating tem-
perature. Instruments and controls

Indication lamps
E00501600012Turn-signal indication lamps/
Hazard warning indication
lamps
E00501700068
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
E00501800072
This indication lamp

illuminates when
the high-beam is used. Front fog lamp indication
lamp*
E00501900132
This indication lamp

illuminates while
the front fog lamps are on. Rear fog lamp indication lamp
E00502000084
This lamp illuminates

while the rear fog
lamp is on. Position lamp indication lamp
E00508900102
This lamp illuminates

with the lamp
switch at “ ” or “ ” position
Diesel preheat indication lamp
(diesel-powered vehicles)
E00502300146
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. CAUTION
l
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 (die-
sel-powered vehicles)
E00509900239
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 (diesel-powered vehi-
cles only)” 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. Instruments and controls
