SRS warning lamp
E00405900083
This warning lamp is shared by the SRS air-
bags and the pretensioner seat belts. Refer to
“SRS warning lamp” on page 4-47.
Force limiter system
E00406000153
In the event of a collision, each force limiter
system will effectively absorb the load ap- plied to the seat belt to minimize the impact
to the passenger.
Child restraint
E00406403233
When transporting children in your vehicle,some type of child restraint system should al-
ways be used according to the size of the child. This is required by law in most coun-
tries.
The regulations concerning driving with chil- dren in the front seat may differ from country
to country. You are advised to comply with the relevant regulations.
WARNINGl When possible, put children in the rear
seat. Accident statistics indicate that chil- dren of all sizes and ages are safer when
properly restrained in the rear seat rather than in the front seat.WARNINGl Holding a child in your arms is no substi-
tute for a restraint system. Failure to use
a proper restraint system can result in se- vere or fatal injury to the child.
l Each child restraint device or fixing is to
be used only by one child.
l When attaching a child restraint system
to the rear seat, prevent the front seat- backs from touching the child restraintsystem.
Otherwise, the child could be seriously in-
jured in the event of hard braking or a
collision.
Caution for installing the child
restraint on vehicle with frontpassenger’s airbag
The label shown here is attached on vehicles
with a front passenger’s airbag.
WARNINGl Extreme Hazard!
NEVER use a rearward facing child re- straint on a seat protected by an ACTIVEAIRBAG in front of it, DEATH or SERI- OUS INJURY to the CHILD can occur.NOTEl The labels may be in different positions de-
pending on the vehicle model.
Use rearward facing child restraints in the
rear seat or turn off the front passenger’s air- bag ON-OFF switch. (Refer to “To turn an airbag off” on page 4-40.)

CAUTIONsuddenly; consequently, avoid driving athigh speeds or applying the brakes suddenly.
Furthermore, 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 6-43.
• The brake warning lamp remains illumi-
nated during driving.
• The brake warning buzzer does not turn
off.
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.
• Should the brakes fail, use engine braking
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.
l The brake system uses brake fluid pressur-
ized by the pump.
Please refer to “Braking” on page 6-39.Check engine warning lamp
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.

To apply the parking brake
1- Firmly depress and hold the brake pedal,then pull the lever up without pushing
the button at the end of hand grip.
CAUTIONl 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.NOTEl Apply sufficient force to the parking brake
lever to hold the vehicle stationary after the foot brake is released.NOTEl If the parking brake does not hold the vehi-
cle stationary after the foot brake is released,
have your vehicle checked immediately.
To release the parking brake
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.
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 possible
brake failure.CAUTIONl 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 5-10.Parking
E00600601097
To park the vehicle, fully engage the parkingbrake, and then move the gearshift lever to 1 st
or “R” (Reverse) position for vehicles with
M/T , or set the selector lever to “P” (PARK)
position on A/T vehicles.
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 and move the vehicle forward until the kerb side
wheel gently touches the kerb.
Apply the parking brake and place the gear- shift 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
6-06OVWE16E1Starting and driving6

CAUTIONlDo not remove the ignition key from the ig-
nition switch while driving. The steeringwheel will be locked, causing loss of con-
trol.
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
for a long time when the engine is not run-
ning, doing so will cause the battery to be discharged.
l Do not turn the key to the “START” position
when the engine is running, doing so could damage the starter motor.Steering wheel lock
E00601500298
To lock
Remove the key at the “LOCK” position.
Turn the steering wheel until it is locked.
To unlock
Turn the key to the “ACC” position while
moving the steering wheel slightly right and left.
CAUTIONl Remove the key when leaving the vehicle.
In some countries, it is prohibited to leave the key in the vehicle when parked.Starting
E00601600811
Tips for starting
l Do not operate the starter motor continu-
ously longer than 10 seconds; doing so
could run down the battery. If the engine
does not start, turn the ignition key back to “LOCK” position, wait a few seconds,and then try again. Trying repeatedly with the starter motor still turning will
damage the starter mechanism.
WARNINGl Never 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.
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.

Selector lever position indica-tion lamps
E00603500247
When the ignition switch is turned to the
“ON” position, the indication lamps in the in- strument panel illuminate to show the posi-tion of the selector lever (i.e. “PARK”,
“DRIVE”, “REVERSE”, etc.).
Selector lever positions (Main
gate)
E00603800699
“P” PARK
This position locks the transmission to pre- vent the vehicle from moving. The engine
can be started in this position.
“R” REVERSE
This position is to back up.
CAUTIONl Never shift into the “P” (PARK) or “R”
(REVERSE) position while the vehicle is in motion to avoid transmission damage.
“N” NEUTRAL
At this position the transmission is disengag-
ed. It is the same as the neutral position on aM/T , and should only be used when the vehi-
cle is stationary for an extended length of time during driving, such as in a traffic jam.
WARNINGl Never move the selector lever to the “N”
(NEUTRAL) position while driving. A se-rious accident could occur since you could
accidentally move the lever into the “P” (PARK) or “R” (REVERSE) position or
you will lose engine braking.
l On a gradient the engine should be star-
ted in the “P” (PARK) position, not in the “N” (NEUTRAL) position.
l To prevent rolling, always keep your foot
on the brake pedal when the vehicle is in “N” (NEUTRAL) position, or when shift-
ing into or out of “N” (NEUTRAL) posi- tion.“D” DRIVE
This position is used for most city and high-
way driving. The transmission will automati-
cally change its gear depending on road and driving conditions.
CAUTIONl To prevent transmission damage, never shift
into the “D” (DRIVE) position from the “R”
(REVERSE) position while the vehicle is in motion.Sports mode
E00603902405
Whether the vehicle is stationary or in mo-
tion, sports mode is selected by gently push-ing the selector lever from the “D” (DRIVE)
position into the manual gate (A). To return to “D” range operation, gently push the selec-tor lever back into the main gate (B).

In sports mode, gear shifts can be made rap-idly simply by moving the selector leverbackward and forward. In contrast to a man-
ual transmission, the sports mode allows gear shifts with the accelerator pedal depressed.SHIFT UPSHIFT DOWN
+ (SHIFT UP)
Push the lever forward once to shift up
one gear.

- (SHIFT DOWN)
Pull the lever backward once to shift
down one gear.
CAUTIONl In sports mode, the driver must execute up-
ward shifts in accordance with prevailingroad conditions, taking care to keep the en-
gine speed below the red zone.CAUTIONl By rapidly moving the selector lever back-
ward (SHIFT DOWN) twice, it is possible to
skip one gear, i.e., 3 rd
to 1 st
, 4 th
to 2 nd
or 5 th
to 3 rd
. Since sudden engine braking and/or
rapid acceleration can cause a loss of trac-
tion, however, downshifts must be made carefully in accordance with the vehicle’s
speed.NOTEl In sports mode, only the 5 forward gears can
be selected. To reverse or park the vehicle, move the selector lever to the “R” (RE-
VERSE) or “P” (PARK) position as re- quired.
l To maintain good running performance, the
transmission may refuse to perform an up- shift when the selector lever is moved to the“+ (SHIFT UP)” position at certain vehicle
speeds. Also, to prevent over-revving of the engine, the transmission may refuse to per-
form a downshift when the lever is moved to
the “- (SHIFT DOWN)” position at certain vehicle speeds.
l In sports mode, downward shifts are made
automatically when the vehicle slows down.
When the vehicle stops, 1st
gear is automati-
cally selected.NOTEl When driving away on a slippery road, push
the selector lever forward into the“+ (SHIFT UP)” position. This causes the
transmission to shift into the 2nd
gear which
is better for smooth driving away on a slip-
pery road. Push the selector lever to the
“- (SHIFT DOWN)” side to shift back to the
1 st
gear.
l For vehicles equipped with the gearshift in-
dicator, the gearshift indicator shows recom-
mended gearshift points for fuel-efficient
driving. It shows a “
” when an upshift is
recommended.
When the transfer shift lever is in the 4LLc
position, the gearshift indicator does not show recommended gearshift points.

Operation of the A/T
E00604200560
CAUTIONlBefore selecting a gear with the engine run-
ning and the vehicle stationary, fully depressthe brake pedal to prevent the vehicle from
creeping.
The vehicle will begin to move as soon as the gear is engaged, especially when the en-
gine speed is high, at fast idle or with the air conditioning operating, the brakes should
only be released when you are ready to drive
away.
l Depress the brake pedal with the right foot at
all times.
Using the left foot could cause driver move- ment delay in case of an emergency.
l Operating 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 To prevent sudden acceleration, never race
the engine when shifting from the “P”
(PARK) or “N” (NEUTRAL) position.
l Use the selector lever in the correct shift po-
sition in accordance with driving conditions. Never coast downhill backward with the se- lector lever in the “D” (DRIVE) or sportsmode position or coast forward with the se-
lector lever in the “R” (REVERSE) position. The engine may stop and the unexpected in- crease in brake pedal effort and steering
wheel weight could lead to an accident.CAUTIONl Do not race the engine with brake pedal
pressed when the vehicle is stationary.
This can damage the A/T.
Also, when you depress the accelerator ped- al while holding down the brake pedal withthe selector lever in the “P” (PARK), “N”
(NEUTRAL) or “D” (DRIVE) position, the
increase in engine revolutions may be limi-
ted.Passing acceleration
E00604500156
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.Uphill/downhill driving
E00610500177
DRIVING UPHILL
The transmission prevents unnecessary up-
shifts even when the accelerator pedal is re- leased and ensures smooth driving.
DRIVING DOWNHILL
According to the conditions, the transmission
will automatically shift to a lower gear ratio to achieve stronger engine braking. This mayhelp reduce your need to use the service brake.
Waiting
E00604600245
For short waiting periods, such as at trafficsignals, 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 and apply the parking
brake, while holding the vehicle stationary with the service brake.
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.Parking
E00604700161
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.
