this indicator light and how to set it. EBU35282Coolant temperature warning light “ ”
This warning light comes on when the coolant
temperature, and therefore the engine, is out-
side its normal operating temperature range.The warning light comes on in blue to inform
the driver that the vehicle should be warmed
up. After the engine is started, warm it up until
the warning light goes off.
The vehicle can be operated normally when
the warning light is off.
The warning light comes on in red when the
engine is overheating. If the red light comes
on, stop the vehicle as soon as it is safe to do
so and allow the engine to idle for about 10
minutes. If the warning light does not go off,
stop the engine and allow it to cool. (See page
8-67.)
TIPThe coolant temperature warning light can be
checked by turning the key to “ ” (on). The
warning light should come on in purple briefly
(which confirms that both the blue and red in-
dicators are okay) and then go off. If the warn-
ing light does not come on at all, comes on in
red or blue, or if the warning light remains on,

5. Check behind you, then release the brakepedal and press the accelerator pedal
gradually.
6. Continue to watch to the rear while driv- ing in reverse.EBU36733Launch system operationThe launch system allows you to start off at a
higher engine speed, and thus have a higher
initial acceleration rate than normal operation.
Only use the launch system on level ground
with a clear and safe path ahead of you.TIPThe launch system will be prevented from op-
erating if any of the following conditions are
present:
the engine is not warmed up or is overheat-
ing.
 the driver seat belt is not latched.
 the differential gear is locked (“DIFF LOCK”
is selected) or the differential gear lock indi-
cator is flashing. 
the parking brake is applied.
 an engine or system malfunction is detect-
ed (a warning light is on).
To activate the launch system1. Confirm that the front wheels and steer-
ing wheel are pointed straight ahead.
2. Shift the transmission into first gear.
3. While pressing the brake pedal, pull both
shift paddles toward you and hold them
in that position. The launch system indi-
cator light will come on, and the launch
system enters standby mode.

4. While checking in front of you for obsta-cles or anything that may cross your
path, release the brake pedal, and then
press the accelerator pedal to rev the en-
gine to the desired launch engine speed.TIPThe engine speed at launch must be be-
tween 5000–10000 r/min.
 If you release one shift paddle, or if a sys-
tem restriction is detected during standby
mode, the launch system indicator light will
begin to flash and the launch will be can-
celled.
 If the indicator light is flashing, release the
accelerator pedal and let the engine return
to idle speed. When the indicator light goes
off, you may start off normally or retry acti-
vating the launch system. 5. When ready, release both shift paddles at
the same time and further press the ac-
celerator pedal to launch the vehicle.
TIPWhen the clutch has completely engaged, the
launch system and the launch system indica-
tor light will turn off. NOTICEECB03430Do not make consecutive launches with-
out allowing the clutch to cool down. Oth-
erwise, the clutch system may be
damaged.
