Fuel filter indication lamp
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.

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.

Parking brakeE00600501562
To park the vehicle, first bring it to a com- plete stop, fully engage the parking brake,
and then move the gearshift lever to 1 st
(on
an uphill) or Reverse (on a downhill) position for vehicles with manual transmission or set
the selector lever to “P” (PARK) position on automatic transmission vehicles.CAUTIONl Before driving, be sure that the parking
brake is fully released and brake warning
lamp is off.
If a vehicle is driven without releasing the
parking brake, the brake will be overheated, resulting in ineffective braking and possiblebrake failure.
l When you intend to apply the parking brake,
firmly press the brake pedal to bring the ve- hicle to a complete stop before pulling theparking brake lever. Pulling the parking brake lever with the vehicle moving could make the rear wheels lock up, thereby mak-
ing the vehicle unstable. It could also make
the parking brake malfunction.
l If the brake warning lamp does not extin-
guish when the parking brake is fully re-
leased, the brake system may be abnormal.
Have your vehicle checked immediately.
For details, refer to “Brake warning lamp” on page 5-08.Type 1
To apply
1- Firmly depress and hold the brake pedal,
then pull the lever up without pushing
the button at the end of hand grip.
To release
1- Firmly depress and hold the brake pedal, then pull the lever up slightly.
2- Push the button at the end of hand grip.
3- Lower the lever fully.
Type 2
To apply
1- Firmly depress and hold the brake pedal, then pull the lever out.

(RHD).
2- Push in the lever completely.

Parking on a hill
To prevent the vehicle from rolling, follow these procedures:
Parking on a downhill slope
Turn the front wheels towards the kerb andmove the vehicle forward until the kerb side wheel gently touches the kerb.
Set the parking brake and place the gearshift lever into the “R” (Reverse) position (with
M/T ) or the selector lever into the “P”
(PARK) position (with A/T).
If necessary, apply chocks to wheels.
Parking on an uphill slope
Turn the front wheels away from the kerb and move the vehicle back until the kerb side
wheel gently touches the kerb.
Set the parking brake and place the gearshift
lever into the 1 st
position (with M/T) or the
selector lever into the “P” (PARK) position (with A/T).
If necessary, apply chocks to wheels.
NOTEl If your vehicle is equipped with
A/T, be sure
to apply the parking brake before moving the selector lever to the “P” (PARK) posi-
tion. If you move the selector lever to the “P” (PARK) position before applying theparking brake, it may be difficult to disen-
gage the selector lever from the “P” (PARK)
position when next you drive the vehicle, re- quiring application of a strong force to the selector lever to move from the “P” (PARK)
position.
Parking with the engine run-
ning
Never leave the engine running while you
take a short sleep/rest. Also, never leave the engine running in a closed or poorly ventila-
ted place.
WARNINGl Leaving the engine running risks injury
or death from accidentally moving the
gearshift lever (on M/T vehicles) or the se- lector lever (on A/T vehicles) or the accu-
mulation of toxic exhaust fumes in the
passenger compartment.
