to reduce your speed and pull the parking
brake lever.
Depress the brake pedal to operate the
stop lamp to alert the vehicles behind you.NOTEl In certain cases immediately after the engine
has been started or when the brake pedal is
depressed repeatedly, a noise generated by operation of brake devices may be heard coming from the engine compartment. At
this time, you may feel a shock from the brake pedal if you depress it. This type of
noise or shock is normal and there is no need for concern. In fact, they indicate that the
corresponding devices are operating normal- ly.

E00502603052
This lamp is a part of an on-
board diagnostic system
which monitors the emis-
sions, engine control system or automatic transmission
control systems.
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 4 regula-
tion]
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.
[Vehicles to comply with the Euro 5 and Eu-
ro 6]
This lamp will also illuminate when the igni-
tion switch is turned “ON”, and goes off after the engine has started. If it does not go off af- ter the engine has started, we recommend youto 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.
Accelerator pedal and brake pedal response may be negatively influenced under these
conditions.
