Driving safety and protection against injury
cannot be fully ensured. However, we recom- mend that you pay extra attention to the fol-
lowing:
Seat belts
Before starting the vehicle, make sure that you and your passengers have fastened your
seat belts.
Floor matsWARNINGl Keep floor mats clear of the pedals by
correctly laying floor mats that are suita-ble for the vehicle.
To prevent the floor mats from slipping
out position, securely retain them using the hooks etc.
Note that laying a floor mat over a pedal or laying one floor mat on top of another
can obstruct pedal operation and lead to a
serious accident.
Carrying children in the vehi-
cle
l Never leave your vehicle unattended
with the key in the ignition and children
inside the vehicle. Children may play with the driving controls and this could
lead to an accident.
l Make sure that infants and small chil-
dren are properly restrained in accord-
ance with the laws and regulations, and for maximum protection in case of an
accident.
l Prevent children from playing in the car-
go area. It is quite dangerous to allow
them to play there while the vehicle is
moving.

CAUTIONlDo not remove the ignition key from the ig-
nition switch while driving. The steeringwheel will lock, causing loss of control.
l If the engine is stopped while driving, the
brake servomechanism will cease to function and braking efficiency will deteriorate. Also,
the power steering system will not function
and it will require greater manual effort to
operate the steering.
l Do not leave the key in the “ON” position

mechanism.
l If the engine cannot be started because
the battery is weak or dead, refer to the“Emergency starting” section for in- structions on starting the engine.
l The engine is well warmed up if the
coolant temperature gauge needle starts
to move (the engine speed decreases).
Extended warming-up operation will re-
sult in excessive fuel consumption.

WARNINGlNever run the engine in a closed or poorly
ventilated area any longer than is needed
to move your vehicle in or out of the area. Carbon monoxide gases are odourless and can be fatal.CAUTIONl Never attempt to start the engine by pushing
or pulling the vehicle. Especially the auto-matic transmission, since the structure is dif-
ferent from a manual transmission, it is not possible to start the engine by using this
technique. Never attempt this or it could damage the automatic transmission.
l Do not run the engine at high rpm or drive
the vehicle at high speed until the engine has had a chance to warm up.
l Release the ignition key as soon as the en-
gine starts to avoid damaging the starter mo-
tor.
l Do not stop the engine immediately after
high-speed or uphill driving. First allow the
engine to idle to give the turbocharger a
chance to cool down.Starting the engine
E00601702223
1. Insert the ignition key and fasten the seat
belt.
2. Make sure the parking brake is applied.
3. Depress and hold the brake pedal.
4. On vehicles with manual transmission,
place the gearshift lever in the “N” (Neutral) position and depress the clutch
pedal all the way.
On vehicles with automatic transmis- sion, make sure the selector lever in the “P” (PARK) position.NOTEl On vehicles with automatic transmission, the
engine will not start if the selector lever is inany position other than “P” (PARK) or “N”
(NEUTRAL) position.
For safety, start the engine with the selector lever in the “P” (PARK) position because in
this position the rear wheels are locked in place.
5. Turn the ignition key to the “ON” posi-
tion.
The diesel preheat indication lamp will first illuminate, and then after a short
time go out, indicating that preheating is
completed.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 key
to the “LOCK” position. Then, turn the key
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 key is placed in the “ON” position.
Start the engine by turning the ignition key
right to the “START” position.

6. Operate the accelerator pedal as descri-
bed below in accordance with the atmos- pheric temperature and/or engine condi-
tion and then start the engine.
l When the atmospheric temperature is
moderate or the engine is warm, start
the engine without depressing the ac-
celerator pedal.
l When the atmospheric temperature is
low and the engine is cold, start the
engine while depressing the accelera- tor pedal.
Starting
6-14OKTE15E3Starting and driving6 Vehicles with manual transmissionVehicles with automatictransmission

CAUTIONlOperating the accelerator pedal while the
other foot is resting on the brake pedal will affect braking efficiency and may cause pre-
mature wear of brake pads.
l Use the selector lever in the correct shift po-
sition in accordance with driving conditions.Never coast downhill backward with the
driving shift position {“D” (DRIVE) or
sports mode} or coast forward with the “R” (REVERSE) position.
The engine stops and the brake pedal effort or the steering wheel handling weight in-creasing could lead to an accident.
l Do not race the engine with brake pedal
pressed when the vehicle is stationary.
This can damage the automatic transmission.Passing acceleration
E00604500329
To gain extra acceleration in “D” (DRIVE)
position, push the accelerator to the floor.The automatic transmission will automatical- ly downshift.
NOTEl In “Sports mode”, downshifts do not take
place when the accelerator is depressed all
the way to the floor.Waiting
E00604600304
For short waiting periods, such as at traffic
signals, the vehicle can be left in gear and held stationary with the service brake.
For longer waiting periods with the engine
running, place the selector lever in the “N” (NEUTRAL) position..CAUTIONl Never hold the vehicle stationary on a hill
using the accelerator pedal (without using the brake pedal). Always apply the parking
brake and/or service brakes.
l Unexpected acceleration may occur if the se-
lector lever is in a position other than “P”
(PARK) or “N” (NEUTRAL). Prior to mov-
ing off after having stopped the vehicle, make sure that the selector lever is in the
“D” (DRIVE) position.Parking
E00604700262
To park the vehicle, first bring it to a com-
plete stop, fully engage the parking brake,and then move the selector lever to the “P”
(PARK) position.
If you are going to leave the vehicle unatten-
ded, always switch off the engine and remove the ignition key.
NOTEl On a slope, be sure to apply the parking
brake before moving the selector lever to the
“P” (PARK) position. If you move the selec- tor lever to the “P” (PARK) position before applying the parking brake, it may be diffi-
cult to disengage the selector lever from the
“P” (PARK) position when next you drive the vehicle, requiring application of a strong
force to the selector lever to move from the
“P” (PARK) position.When the automatic transmis-
sion makes no speed change
E00604800683
If the transmission does not change speeds
while driving, or your vehicle does not pick up enough speed when starting on an uphillslope, it may be that there is something un-
usual happening in the transmission, causing a safety device to activate. We recommendyou to have your vehicle checked as soon as
possible. 1. If your vehicle has difficulty moving up-
hill, shift the selector lever into 2 nd
gear
of the “Sports mode”.
This method might not work depending
on the type of transmission malfunction.
2. Once the vehicle is moving on a level
road, move the selector lever back to“D” (DRIVE).
