3. CAUTIONS FOR DI ENGINE
1) Cautions for DI Engine
This chapter describes the cautions for DI engine equipped vehicle. This includes the water separation
from engine, warning lights, symptoms when engine malfunctioning, causes and actions.
DI Engine 1.
Comparatively conventional diesel engines, DI engine controls the fuel injection and timing electrically,
delivers high power and reduces less emission.
System Safety Mode 2.
When a severe failure has been occurred in a vehicle, the system safety mode is activated to protect
the system. It reduces the driving force, restricts the engine speed (rpm) and stops engine operation.
Refer to "Diagnosis" section in this manual.
Engine CHECK Warning Lamp 3.
The Engine CHECK warning lamp on the instrument cluster comes on when the fuel or
major electronic systems of the engine are not working properly. As a result, the
engine’s power output may decrease or the engine may stall.
Water Separator Warning Lamp
4.
When the water level inside water separator in fuel filter exceeds a certain level (approx.
45 cc), this warning light comes on and buzzer sounds.
Also, the driving force of the vehicle decreases (torque reduction). If these conditions
occur, immediately drain the water from fuel filter.

seconds, however, the chime buzzer does not sound.
The seat belt warning light goes off and the chime buzzer in the ICM box stops when turning the
ignition switch to “OFF” position.
The chime buzzer stops and the seat belt warning light stays on for the specified duration (6
seconds) when fastening the seat belt during the warning operation.
The seat belt warning light comes on and the chime buzzer sounds for 6 seconds again when
unfastening the seat belt during fastening operation. 1.

The parking brake warning light comes on for approx. 4 seconds (T4) when turning the ignition key
from “OFF” to “ON” position regardless of the vehicle speed and parking brake switch
position.
The warning light comes on when the parking brake switch is turned on while the vehicle speed is
below 10 km/h (V1).
The warning light goes off when turning off the parking brake switch under step 2.
The warning light blinks and the chime buzzer in the ICM box sounds for 2.85 seconds and stops for
1.5 seconds when the vehicle speed is over 10 km/h (V1) for more than 2 seconds while the parking
brake switch is turned on.
The warning light goes off and the chime buzzer stops when turning off the parking brake switch
under step 4.
The warning light comes on and the chime buzzer stops when the vehicle speed goes down below
7 km/h (V2) under step 4.
This function is not available when the ignition key is turned to “OFF” position. 1.

2. OPERATION
1) Air Bag
▶Air bag inflates when:
In response to a severe frontal impact, the driver’s and front passenger’s air bags
deploy at the same time to supplement the seat belts to prevent or reduce any personal
injuries. -
▶Air bag can inflate when:
Underbody impact from the road surface; impact against the curb at a very high speed;
dropping impact onto the road surface with a large angle -
▶Air bag does not inflate when:
Rollover, side impact or rear impact
If the severity of impact to the vehicle is not significant and the seat belts are enough to protect
occupants. -
-
Air bag seldom inflates when: ▶
Oblique impact, rollover
Weak impact in which the sensor is unable to detect (under the inflation requirements)
Impact against narrow objects such as a utility pole or a tree
The vehicle falls into a drainage or a puddle
The front of the vehicle crashes into a high impact point vehicle such as a truck
Impact on the hood by falling stones
The air bag warning light is on
Moderate or severe impact to the middle of the vehicle body’s side structure. In that case,
only the side curtain air bags deploy. -
