Slide the cover (1). Insert the key in the
cap (2) and unlock it.
Turn the cap and remove it.
CAUTIONl Since the fuel system may be under pressure,
remove the fuel tank filler tube cap slowly. This relieves any pressure or vacuum that
might have built up in the fuel tank. If you
hear a hissing sound, wait until it stops be- fore removing the cap. Otherwise, fuel may
spray out, injuring you or others.
4. Insert the gun in the tank port as far as it
goes. Do not tilt the gun.
5. When the gun stops automatically, do
not fill with fuel any more.
6. To close, turn the fuel tank filler tube
cap slowly clockwise until you hear clicking sounds, then gently push the
fuel tank filler door closed.

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.

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.

CAUTIONlSelecting “4H” or “4L” position (easy select
4WD), “4HLc” or “4LLc” position (super
select 4WD) to drive on dry paved road will
increase the fuel consumption with possible noise generation and early tyre wear.
It may also increase the differential oil tem- perature, resulting in possible damage to the
driving system.
Further, the drive train will be subjected to excessive loading, possibly leading to oilleakage, component seizure, or other serious faults.
Driving on snowy or icy roads
Set the transfer shift lever to “4H” or “4L”
position (easy select 4WD), “4H” or “4HLc” position (super select 4WD) in accordance
with the road conditions, and then gradually
depress the accelerator pedal for a smooth start.
NOTEl The use of snow tyres and/or tyre chains is
recommended.
l Maintain a safe distance between vehicles,
avoid sudden braking, and use engine brak-
ing (downshifting).CAUTIONl Avoid sudden braking, sudden acceleration,
and sharp turning; such operations could
cause skidding and spinouts.
Driving on sandy or muddy
roads
Set the transfer shift lever to “4H” or “4L”
position (easy select 4WD), “4HLc” or “4LLc” position (super select 4WD) and then
gradually depress the accelerator pedal for a
smooth start. Keep the pressure on the accel-
erator pedal as constant as possible, and drive at low speed.
CAUTIONl Do not force the vehicle or drive recklessly
on sandy surfaces. In comparison with nor-
mal road surfaces, the engine and other
drive-system components are put under ex- cessive strain when driving on such a sur-
face, and this could lead to accidents.
l If any of following conditions occur while
the vehicle is being driven, immediately park your vehicle in a safe place and follow these procedures:
• The needle in the temperature gauge ap-
proaches the overheating zone.
Refer to “Engine overheating” on page
8-04.CAUTION• Automatic transmission fluid temperature
warning lamp comes on.
Refer to “When the A/T (automatic trans-
mission) fluid temperature warning lamp comes on” on page 6-23.WARNINGl When attempting to rock your vehicle out
of a stuck position, be sure that the area
around the vehicle is clear of people and physical objects. The rocking motion may
cause the vehicle to suddenly launch for- ward or backward, causing injury or damage to nearby people or objects.NOTEl Avoid sudden braking, acceleration, and
turning; such operations could result in thevehicle becoming stuck.
l If the vehicle becomes stuck in sandy or
muddy roads, it can often be moved a rock-
ing motion. Move the selector lever rhythmi- cally between the “D” (DRIVE) and “R”
(REVERSE) position (with M/T, between 1 st
and Reverse), while applying slight pressure
to the accelerator pedal.
