Tripmeter
The tripmeter indicates the distance travelled
during a particular trip or period.
There are two tripmeter displays: TRIP
and .
TRIP
can be used to measure the distance
travelled since the current trip began. At the same time, TRIP
can be used to measure
the distance from an intermediate location.
Every time the reset button (C) is pressed
lightly (less than 1 second), the tripmeter dis-
play changes (between TRIP
and ).

NOTEl When the engine on diesel-powered vehicles
fails to operate due to running out of fuel, it may sometimes be difficult to start after re-
fueling. This is due to air entering the fuel
system. Therefore, air must be bled from the system. (Refer to “Bleeding the fuel system” on page 8-05.)

*: if so equipped
WARNINGl Be careful not to get your hands or clothes
caught in the cooling fan.4. After the engine coolant temperature has
dropped to the normal temperature, stop the engine.
5. Check the coolant level in the reserve
tank.
WARNINGl If there is none, make sure that the engine
has cooled down before removing the ra-
diator cap, because hot steam or boiling water otherwise will gush from the fillerport and may scald you.
6. Add coolant to the radiator and/or re-
serve tank if necessary (refer to the
“Maintenance” section.)
CAUTIONl Do not add coolant while the engine is hot.
Suddenly adding cold coolant could damage
the engine. Wait for the engine to cool
down, then add coolant a little at a time.
7. Examine the radiator hoses for coolant
leakage and the drive belt for looseness
or damage.
If there is anything wrong with the cool-
ing system or drive belt, we recommend
you to have it checked and repaired.

1.Loosen the air plug (A) at the top of the
fuel filter.
2. Pump the hand pump (B) until there are
no more bubbles in the fuel coming out
of the air plug (A). When doing this, place a cloth around the air plug (A) toprevent the escaping fuel from spraying
out.
3. Tighten the air plug (A) when there are
no more bubbles in the fuel.
4. Continue pumping until the hand pump
(B) becomes stiff.
5. Finally, check to be sure that there is no
leakage of fuel.
If in doubt, we recommend you to con-
sult a specialist for necessary informa- tion.
Type 2, 3

times in order to force the water out
through the drain plug (A).
3. Tighten the drain plug (A) when water
no longer comes out.
4. Bleed the air in the fuel system. (Refer to “Bleeding the fuel system” onpage 8-05.)
5. Check to be sure that the fuel filter indi-
cation lamp illuminates when the igni- tion switch is turned to “ON”, and that it
goes off when the engine is started. If in
doubt, we recommend you to consult a specialist for necessary information.
