WARNING LIGHTS Anti-lock Braking System (ABS)
warning light (where fitted)
When the ignition switch is in the ON position, the
Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) warning light illumi- nates and then turns off. This indicates the ABS is
operational. If the ABS warning light illuminates while the engine
is running, or while driving, it may indicate the ABS
is not functioning properly. Have the system
checked by an approved dealer or qualified work-
shop promptly.
If an ABS malfunction occurs, the anti-lock function
is turned off. The brake system then operates nor-
mally, but without anti-lock assistance. (See “Anti-
lock Braking System (ABS)” in the “5. Starting and
driving” section.)
While the differential lock (where fitted) is en-
gaged, the ABS warning light illuminates. This
indicates that the anti-lock function is not fully
operating. (See “Rear differential locking system
(where fitted)” in the “5. Starting and driving” sec-
tion for the rear differential lock function.) Automatic Transmission (AT)
check warning light (AT model)
When the ignition switch is in the ON position, the
Automatic Transmission (AT) check warning light
illuminates and then turns off. This indicates that the
AT is operational.
If the AT check warning light illuminates while the
engine is running, or while driving, it may indicate
that the AT is not functioning properly and may need
servicing. Have the system checked, and if neces-
sary repaired, by an approved dealer or qualified
workshop promptly. Automatic Transmission (AT) oil
temperature warning light (AT
model)
This light illuminates when the Automatic Transmis-
sion (AT) oil temperature is too high. If the light illu-
minates while driving, reduce the vehicle speed as
soon as safely possible until the light turns off.
CAUTION
Continued vehicle operation when the AT oil tem-
perature warning light is on may damage the AT. Automatic Transmission (AT)
park warning light (AT model)
This light indicates that the Automatic Transmission
(AT) parking function is not engaged. If the transfer
control is not secured in any driving position while
the AT shift lever is in the P(Park) position, the
transmission will disengage and the wheels will not
lock.
For 4WD model: If the ATP warning light illumi-
nates with the shift lever in the P(Park) position,
shift the Four-Wheel Drive (4WD) mode switch to
the 2WD, 4H or 4LO position again with the shift
lever in the N(Neutral) position. (See “4WD mode

WARNING
• Never rely solely on the hill start assist system
to prevent the vehicle from moving backward on ahill. Always drive carefully and attentively.
Depress the brake pedal when the vehicle is
stopped on asteep hill. Be especially careful
when stopped on ahill on frozen or muddy
roads. Failure to prevent the vehicle from roll-
ing backwards may result in aloss of control
of the vehicle and possible serious injury or
death.
• The hill start assist system is not designed to
hold the vehicle at
astandstill on ahill. De-
press the brake pedal when the vehicle is
stopped on asteep hill. Failure to do so may
cause the vehicle to roll backwards and may
result in acollision or serious personal injury.
• The hill start assist system may not prevent
the vehicle from rolling backwards on ahill
under all load or road conditions. Always be
prepared to depress the brake pedal to pre-
vent the vehicle from rolling backwards. Fail-
ure to do so may result in acollision or seri-
ous personal injury.
The hill start assist system automatically keeps the
brakes applied to help prevent the vehicle from roll-
ing backwards in the time it takes the driver to re-
lease the brake pedal and apply the accelerator
when the vehicle is stopped on ahill. The hill start assist system will operate automatically
under the following conditions:
• The transmission is shifted to
aforward or re-
verse gear.
• The vehicle is stopped completely on
ahill by
applying the brake.
The maximum holding time is 2seconds. After 2
seconds the vehicle will begin to roll back and the
hill start assist system will stop operating completely.
The hill start assist system will not operate when the
transmission is shifted to the N(Neutral) or P(Park)
position or on aflat and level road.
When the Electronic Stability Programme (ESP)
warning light illuminates in the meter, the hill start
assist system will not operate. (See “Electronic Sta-
bility Programme (ESP) system (where fitted)” ear-
lier in this section.) The cruise control system allows driving at constant
speeds without keeping your foot on the accelerator
pedal. WARNING
• The cruise control system ONLY maintains a
constant vehicle speed, it does not replace
the driver.
• Always observe the posted speed limits and
do not set the speed over them.
• Do not use the cruise control when driving
under the following conditions. Doing so
could cause
aloss of vehicle control and re-
sult in an accident.
–W hen it is not possible to keep the vehicle
at ac onstant speed
–W hen driving in heavy traffic
–W hen driving in traffic that varies speed
–W hen driving in windy areas
–W hen driving on winding or hilly roads
–W hen driving on slippery (rain, snow, ice,
etc.) roads
CAUTION
On manual Transmission (MT) model, do not shift
to the N(Neutral) position without depressing
the clutch pedal when the cruise control is oper-

• Do not stop or park the vehicle over flam-
mable materials such as dry grass, waste pa-
per or rags. They may ignite and cause afire.
• Safe parking procedures require that both the
parking brake be applied and the shift lever
placed into the
P(Park) position for Automatic
Transmission (AT) model or in an appropriate
gear for Manual Transmission (MT) model.
Failure to do so could cause the vehicle to
move unexpectedly or roll away and result in

lever is moved to the
P(Park) position. The
shift lever cannot be moved out of the P(Park)
position without depressing the footbrake
pedal (AT model).
• Never leave the engine running while the ve-
hicle is unattended.
• To help avoid risk of injury or death through
unintended operation of the vehicle and/or its systems, do not leave children, people who
require the assistance of others or pets unat-
tended in your vehicle. Additionally, the tem-

ECO DRIVE REPORT
PARKING
5-44 Starting and driving

When leaving your vehicle unoccupied:
• Always take the key with you
-even when leav-
ing the vehicle in your own garage.
• Close all windows completely and lock all doors.
• Always park your vehicle where it can be seen.
Park in
awell lit area during the night.
• If the security system is equipped, use it
-even
for ashort period.
• Never leave children or pets in the vehicle unat-
tended.
• Never leave valuables inside the vehicle. Always
take valuables with you.
• Never leave the vehicle documents in the ve-
hicle.
• Never leave articles on
aroof rail. Remove them
from the rack and keep and lock them inside the
vehicle.
• Never leave the spare key in the vehicle. WARNING
If the engine is not running or is turned off while
driving, the power assist for the steering will not
work. The steering will be much harder to oper-
ate.
The power assisted steering is designed to use a
hydraulic pump driven by the engine, to assist steer-
ing.
If the engine stops or the drive belt breaks, you will
still have control of the vehicle. However, greater
steering effort is needed, especially in sharp turns
and at low speeds. The brake system has two separate hydraulic cir-
cuits. If one circuit malfunctions, you will still have
braking ability at two wheels.
BRAKE PRECAUTIONS
Vacuum assisted brakes
The brake booster aids braking by using engine
vacuum. If the engine stops, you can stop the ve-
hicle by depressing the footbrake pedal. However,
greater foot pressure on the footbrake pedal will be
required to stop the vehicle. The stopping distance
will be longer.
If the engine is not running or is turned off while driv-
ing, the power assisted brakes will not function.
Braking will be harder. WARNING
Do not coast with the engine stopped.
Using brakes
Avoid resting your foot on the footbrake pedal while
driving. This will overheat the brakes, wear out the
brake linings/pads faster, and increase fuel con-
sumption.
To help reduce brake wear and to prevent the brakes
from overheating, reduce speed and downshift to a
lower gear before going down aslope or long grade.
Overheated brakes may reduce braking perfor-
mance and could result in loss of vehicle control.
