flight operation.
When carrying a key in a bag, be careful that no switches on the key can be easily
pressed by mistake.NOTEl The key is a precision electronic device with
a built-in signal transmitter. Please observe
the following in order to prevent a malfunc- tion.

direct sunlight, for example on the dash- board.
• Do not disassemble or modify.
• Do not excessively bend the key or sub-
ject it to strong impacts.
• Do not expose to water.
• Keep away from magnetic key rings.
• Keep away from audio systems, personal
computers, TVs, and other equipment that generates a magnetic field.

electromagnetic waves, such as cellular phones, wireless devices and high fre-
quency equipment (including medical de- vices).NOTE• Do not clean with ultrasonic cleaners or
similar equipment.
• Do not leave the key where it may be ex-
posed to high temperature or high humidi-
ty.

Position lamp indication lamp*
E00508901301
This indication lamp illumi-
nates while the position
lamps are on.
Diesel preheat indication lamp
E00502301390
This indicates the glow plug
preheat condition.
[Except for vehicles equip-
ped with keyless operation system]
When the ignition switch is
turned to the “ON” position, the lamp illumi-
nates. As the glow plug becomes hot, the lamp goes out and the engine can be started.
[For vehicles equipped with keyless opera- tion system]
When the operation mode is put in ON, the
lamp illuminates and preheating of the glow
plug starts automatically. As the glow plug becomes hot, the lamp goes out and the en-
gine starts.
CAUTIONl If the diesel preheat indication lamp comes
on after the engine is started, the engine speed may not rise above the idling speedbecause of fuel freezing. In this case, keep
the engine idling for about 10 minutes, then turn off the ignition switch or put in OFF the operation mode, and immediately turn it onor put in ON again to confirm that the diesel
preheat indication lamp is off.NOTEl If the engine is cold, the diesel preheat indi-
cation lamp is on for a longer time.
l [Except for vehicles equipped with keyless
operation system]
When the engine has not been started within about 5 seconds after the diesel preheat indi- cation lamp went out, return the ignition
switch to the “LOCK” position. Then, turn
the ignition switch to the “ON” position to preheat the engine again.
l When the engine is warm, the diesel preheat
indication lamp does not come on even if the
ignition switch is placed in the “ON” posi-
tion or the operation mode is in ON.Fuel filter indication lamp
E00509901353
This indication lamp illumi-
nates when the ignition switch is turned to the “ON”
position or the operation
mode is put in ON, and goes off after the engine has star-
ted. If it lights up while the engine is running,
it indicates that water has accumulated inside the fuel filter; if this happens, take action as
follows.
Remove the water from the fuel filter. Refer to “Removal of water from the fuel filter” on
page 8-11.
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.

During cold weather
If the temperatures in your area drop belowfreezing, there is the danger that the coolant
in the engine or radiator could freeze and
cause severe damage to the engine and/or ra- diator. Add a sufficient amount of anti-freeze to the coolant to prevent it from freezing.The concentration should be checked before the start of cold weather and anti-freeze add-
ed to the system if necessary.
Washer fluid
E01000702113
Open the washer fluid reservoir cap andcheck the level of washer fluid with the dip- stick.
If the level is low, replenish the container with washer fluid.
NOTEl The washer fluid container serves the wind-
screen and headlamps (if so equipped).
During cold weather
To ensure proper operation of the washers at
low temperatures, use a fluid containing ananti-freezing agent.
Brake fluid
E01000902014
To check the fluid level
Check the brake fluid level in the reservoir.
The brake fluid level must be between the “MAX” and “MIN” marks on the reservoir.
The brake fluid level is monitored by a float.
When the brake fluid level falls below the “MIN” mark, the brake fluid warning lamp
lights up.
The fluid level falls slightly with wear of the brake pads, but this does not indicate any ab-
normality.
If the brake fluid level falls markedly in a short length of time, it indicates leaks from
the brake system.
If this occurs, we recommend you to have the vehicle checked.
Fluid type
Use brake fluid conforming to DOT3 or
DOT4. The brake fluid is hygroscopic. Too
much moisture in the brake fluid will ad- versely affect the brake system, reducing the brake performance.
In addition, the brake fluid reservoir is equip-
ped with a special cap to prevent the entrance
of air, and this cap should not be removed.
CAUTIONl Take care in handling brake fluid as it is
harmful to the eyes, may irritate your skin
and also damage painted surfaces.
