nates while the rear fog lamp is on.
Diesel preheat indication lamp
E00502300250
This indication lamp illumi-
nates 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 speedbecause of fuel freezing. In this case, keep
the engine idling for about ten minutes, then turn off the ignition switch and immediately
turn it on again to confirm that the diesel
preheat indication lamp is off.NOTEl If the engine is cold, the diesel preheat indi-
cation lamp is on for a longer time.
l When the engine has not been started within
about 5 seconds after the diesel preheat indi- cation 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 diesel preheat
indication lamp does not come on even if the
ignition switch is placed in the “ON” posi-
tion.

E00509900170
This indication lamp illumi-
nates when the ignition switch is turned to the “ON”
position and goes off after the engine has started. If itlights up while the engine is
running, it indicates that water has accumula- ted inside the fuel filter; if this happens, re-
move the water from the fuel filter.
Refer to “Removal of water from the fuel fil- ter” on page 8-06.When the lamp goes out, you can resume
driving. If it either does not go out or comes on from time to time, we recommend you to
have the vehicle inspected.Warning lamps
E00502400017Brake warning lamp
E00502501637
This lamp illuminates whenthe ignition switch is turnedto 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” posi-
tion, the brake warning lamp illuminates un- der the following conditions:
l When the parking brake lever has been
engaged.
l When the brake fluid level in the reser-
voir falls to a low level.
l When the brake force distribution func-
tion is not operating correctly. (vehicles
with anti-lock brake system)CAUTIONl In the situations listed below, brake perform-
ance may be compromised or the vehicle
may become unstable if brakes are applied
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.
• The brake warning lamp does not illumi-
nate when the parking brake is applied ordoes not turn off when the parking brake is released.
• The ABS warning lamp and brake warn-
ing lamp illuminate at the same time.
For details, refer to “ABS warning lamp”
on page 6-46. (vehicles with anti-lock
brake system)
• The brake warning lamp remains illumi-
nated during driving.
l The vehicle should be brought to a halt in
the following manner when brake perform-
ance 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.CAUTION• Should the brakes fail, use engine braking
to reduce your speed and carefully pull the parking brake lever to park your vehi-
cle.
Depress the brake pedal to operate the
stop lamp to alert the vehicles behind you.Check engine warning lamp
E00502601944
This lamp is a part of an on-
board diagnostic system
which monitors the emis-
sions, engine and automatic transmission control sys-tems.
If a problem is detected in one of these sys- tems, this lamp illuminates.
Although your vehicle will usually be driva-
ble and not need towing, we recommend you
to have the system checked as soon as possi-
ble.

[Vehicles to comply with the Euro 3 and Eu-
ro 4 regulation]
This lamp will also illuminate for a few sec- onds when the ignition switch is turned to the “ON” position. If it does not go off after a
few seconds, we recommend you to have the vehicle checked.

This lamp will also illuminate when the igni-
tion switch is turned to the “ON” position, 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.CAUTIONl Prolonged driving with this lamp on may
cause further damage to the emission control
system. It could also affect fuel economy and drivability.
l If the lamp does not illuminate when the ig-
nition 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 system checked.
During vehicle operation with the lamp illu-
minated, the vehicle may not accelerate
when you depress the accelerator pedal.
When the vehicle is stationary with the lamp illuminated, you must depress the brake ped- al more firmly than usual since the engine
idling speed is higher than usual and the ve- hicle with an A/T has a stronger tendency to
creep forward.NOTEl The engine electronic control module ac-
commodating the onboard diagnostic system has various fault data (especially about the
exhaust emission) stored.
This data will be erased if a battery cable is
disconnected which will make a rapid diag- nosis difficult. Do not disconnect a batterycable when the check engine warning lamp
is ON.Charge warning lamp
E00502700821
This lamp illuminates when
the ignition switch is turnedto the “ON” position, and goes off after the engine has
started.
CAUTIONl If the lamp comes on while the engine is
running, the probable cause is as shown be-low.
Park the vehicle immediately at a safe place
and we recommend you to have it checked.
• Broken drive belt or abnormality in the
charging system. A broken drive belt cau-
ses poor braking efficiency.
Depress the brake pedal harder than usual
to park the vehicle in a safe place.Oil pressure warning lamp
E00502800620
This lamp illuminates when
the ignition switch is turnedto the “ON” position, and goes off after the engine has
started. If it illuminates
while the engine is running,
the oil pressure is too low.
If the warning lamp illuminates while the en- gine is running, turn the engine off and have
it inspected.
CAUTIONl If this lamp illuminates when the engine oil
level is not low, have it inspected.
l This warning lamp does not indicate the
amount of oil in the crankcase. This must be determined by checking the oil level on the
dipstick, while the engine is switched off.
l If you continue driving with low engine oil
level or with this warning lamp illuminated,
engine seizure may occur.NOTEl The oil pressure warning lamp should not be
treated as an indication of the engine’s oil
level. The oil level must be checked using
the dipstick.

E00519700012
If the monitor becomes covered in finger-
prints or otherwise dirty, clean it with a soft and dry cloth.
NOTEl Don’t use a wet cloth or abrasive cleaner as
this may cause damage.Combination headlamps
and dipper switch E00506003533
HeadlampsNOTEl Do not leave the headlamps and other lamps
on for a long time while the engine is sta-tionary (not running). A run-down batterycould result.
l When it rains or when the vehicle has been
washed, the inside of the lens sometimes be-
comes foggy. This is the same phenomenon as when window glass mists up on a humid
day, and does not indicate a functional prob- lem. When the lamp is switched on, the heat
will remove the fog. However, if water gath-
ers inside the lamp, we recommend you to have it checked.

Economical drivingE00600100620
For economical driving, there are some tech- nical requirements that have to be met. Theprerequisite for low fuel consumption is a
properly adjusted engine. In order to achieve longer life of the vehicle and the most eco- nomical operation, we recommend you tohave the vehicle checked at regular intervals in accordance with the service standards.
Fuel economy and generation of exhaust gas
and noise are highly influenced by personal
driving habits as well as the particular operat- ing conditions. The following points shouldbe observed in order to minimize wear of
brakes, tyres and engine as well as to reduce
environmental pollution.
Starting
Avoid rapid acceleration and sudden starts;
such operation will result in higher fuel con-
sumption.
Shifting
Shift only at an appropriate speed and engine speed. Always use the highest gear possible.
The transfer shift lever should be set to “2H” when driving 4WD vehicles on normal roads
and express ways to obtain best possible fuel economy.
City traffic
Frequent starting and stopping increases the
average fuel consumption. Use roads with smooth traffic flow whenever possible. When driving on congested roads, avoid use of a
low gear at high engine speeds.
Idling
The vehicle consumes fuel even during
idling. Avoid extended idling whenever pos- sible.
Speed
The higher the vehicle speed, the more fuel
consumed. Avoid driving at full speed. Even a slight release of the accelerator pedal will
save a significant amount of fuel.
Tyre inflation pressure
Check the tyre inflation pressures at regularintervals. Low tyre inflation pressure increa-ses road resistance and fuel consumption. In addition, low tyre pressures adversely affect tyre wear and driving stability.
Load
Do not drive with unnecessary articles in the
cargo area. Especially during city driving where frequent starting and stopping is nec-
essary, the increased weight of the vehicle will greatly affect fuel consumption.
Cold engine starting
Starting of a cold engine consumes morefuel.
Unnecessary fuel consumption is also caused by keeping a hot engine running. After the
engine is started, commence driving as soon
as possible.
Air conditioning*
The use of the air conditioning will increase the fuel consumption.
Driving, alcohol and drugs
E00600200012
Driving after drinking alcohol is one of the
most frequent causes of accidents.
Your driving ability can be seriously im- paired even with blood alcohol levels far be-
low the legal minimum. If you have been drinking, don’t drive. Ride with a designated non-drinking driver, call a cab or a friend, or
use public transportation.
