Check engine warning lamp
E00502601696
This lamp is
a part of an onboard diag-
nostic system which monitors the emis-
sions, engine control system or automat-
ic 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 “ON”, and goes
off after the engine has started. If it does
not go off after the engine 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. CAUTION
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.
l If the lamp illuminates while
the engine is running, avoid
driving at high speeds and we
recommend you to have the sys-
tem checked.
Accelerator pedal and brake
pedal response may be negative-
ly influenced under these condi-
tions.
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 display
E00502700472
This lamp illuminates

when the ignition
switch is turned to the “ON” position,
and goes off after the engine has started. CAUTION
l

while the en-
gine is running, there is a prob-
lem in the charging system. In
this case, immediately park
your vehicle in a safe place and
we recommend you to have it
checked. Oil pressure warning lamp
E00502800529
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. Turn
the engine off and have it inspected. CAUTION
l
This warning
lamp
does not in-
dicate the amount of oil level in
the engine. This must be deter-
mined by checking the oil level
on the dipstick, while the en-
gine is switched off.
l If this lamp illuminates when
the engine oil level is not low,
have it inspected.
l If you continue driving with
low engine oil level or with this
warning lamp illuminated, en-
gine seizure may occur. Instruments and controls

CAUTION
l
Take care not to get the jumper cable
caught in the cooling fan or other rotat-
ing part in the engine compartment.
l Use the proper cables suitable for the bat-
tery size to prevent overheating of the ca-
bles.
l Check the jumper cables for damage and
corrosion before use.
7. Start the engine in the vehicle which has the
booster battery,

let the engine idle a few mi-
nutes, then start the engine in the vehicle
with the discharged battery. CAUTION
l
Keep the engine
of the vehicle giving assis-
tance running.
8. After the engine is started, disconnect the ca-
bles in

the reverse order and keep the engine
running for several minutes. WARNING
l If the
battery
has to be charged while fit-
ted in the vehicle, disconnect the vehicle
side negative (-) terminal connected to the
battery.
l Keep sparks, cigarettes and flames away
from the battery because the battery may
produce an explosion.
l Use adequate ventilation when charging
or using the battery in an enclosed space. WARNING
l Remove all the
caps before charging the
battery.
l Electrolyte is corrosive diluted sulphuric
acid. If electrolyte (battery acid) comes in-
to contact with your hands, eyes, clothes
and the painted surface of your vehicle, it
should be thoroughly flushed with water.
If electrolyte gets in your eyes, flush them
with water immediately and thoroughly,
and get prompt medical attention.
NOTE l If
the vehicle

is put in motion without fully
charging the battery, it might cause the loss
of smooth engine operation and the anti-lock
brake warning lamp to illuminate. Refer to
“Anti-lock brake system (ABS)” on page
4-39. Engine overheating
E00800600991
If the water

temperature gauge indication remains
in the overheating zone for a long time, the engine
may be overheating. If this occurs, take the follow-
ing corrective measures: 1. Stop the vehicle in a safe place.
2. Check whether steam is coming from the en-gine compartment.

[If steam does not come from the engine com-
partment]
With the engine still running, raise the bon-
net to ventilate the engine compartment.

[If steam is coming from the engine compart-
ment]
Stop the engine, and when the steam stops,
raise the bonnet to ventilate the engine com-
partment. Restart the engine. WARNING
l Do not
open
the bonnet while steam is com-
ing from the engine compartment. It
could cause steam or hot water to spurt
out, causing burns. Hot water could spurt
out even when there is no steam coming
out, and some parts will be very hot. Be
very careful when opening the bonnet.
l Be careful of hot steam, which could be
blowing off the reserve tank cap.
l Do not attempt to remove the radiator
cap while the engine is hot. For emergencies

Check the electrolyte level at least once every
4 weeks, depending on the operating conditions.
If the battery
is not used, it will discharge by itself
with time.
Check it once every 4 weeks and charge with low
current as necessary.
During cold weather
The capacity of the battery is reduced at low tem-
peratures. This is an inevitable result of its chemi-
cal and physical properties.
This is why a very cold battery, particularly one
that is not fully charged, will only deliver a fraction
of the starter current which is normally available.
We recommend you to have the battery checked be-
fore the start of cold weather and, if necessary,
have it charged or replaced.
This does not only ensure reliable starting, but a bat-
tery which is kept fully charged also has a longer life.
Disconnection and connection
To disconnect the battery cable, stop the engine,
first disconnect the negative (–) terminal and then
the positive (+) terminal.
When connecting the battery, first connect the posi-
tive (+) terminal and then the negative (-) terminal. WARNING
l Keep sparks,
cigarettes,
and flames away
from the battery because the battery
could explode. WARNING
l The battery electrolyte
is extremely caus-
tic. Do not allow it to come in contact
with your eyes, skin, clothing, or the pain-
ted surfaces of the vehicle. Spilt electro-
lyte should be flushed immediately with
ample amounts of water.
Irritation to eyes or skin from contact
with electrolyte requires immediate medi-
cal attention.
l Ventilate when charging or using the bat-
tery in an enclosed space. CAUTION
l
Keep it out of reach of children.
l Never
disconnect the

battery with the ig-
nition switch in the “ON” position; doing
so could damage the vehicle’s electrical
components.
l Never short-circuit the battery; doing so
could cause it to overheat and be damaged.
l If the battery is to be quick-charged, first
disconnect the battery cables.
l In order to prevent a short circuit, be
sure to disconnect the negative (-) termi-
nal first.
l Always wear protective eye goggles when
working near the battery. CAUTION
l
Do not bring
nearby parts, plastic parts
and so on into contact with sulphuric acid
(battery electrolyte) which may crack,
stain or discolour them.
If they are in contact, wipe off with soft
cloth, chamois or the like and an aqueous
solution of neutral detergent then imme-
diately rinse the affected parts with plen-
ty of water.
NOTE l Keep
the terminals

clean. After the battery is
connected, apply terminal protection grease.
To clean the terminals, use lukewarm water.
l Check to see if the battery is securely instal-
led and cannot be moved during travel. Also
check each terminal for tightness.
l When the vehicle is to be left unused for a
long period of time, remove the battery and
store it in a place where the battery fluid will
not freeze. The battery should be stored only
in a fully charged condition. Maintenance
