NOTE l When

entering a country in which vehicles
are driven on the opposite side of the road to
the country in which your vehicles is sup-
plied, necessary measures have to be taken to
avoid dazzling oncoming traffic. However,
headlamps on this vehicle do not need any ad-
justment.

washed, the inside of the lens sometimes be-
comes foggy, but this does not indicate a func-

Tips for starting l Do
not operate the starter motor continuous-
ly longer than 10 seconds; doing so could
run down the battery. If the engine does not
start, turn the ignition switch back to
“LOCK”, wait a few seconds, and then try
again. Trying repeatedly with the starter mo-
tor still turning will damage the starter mech-
anism.

clutch pedal fully depressed, the engine revo-
lutions do not rise to over 3,000 rpm in order
to protect the engine even if the accelerator
pedal is depressed. WARNING

run the engine in a closed or poor-
ly ventilated area any longer than is nee-
ded to move your vehicle in or out of the
area. Carbon monoxide gases are odour-
less and can be fatal. CAUTION
l
Never
attempt to start the engine by push-
ing or pulling the vehicle.
l Do not run the engine at high rpm or
drive the vehicle at high speed until the en-
gine has had a chance to warm up. CAUTION
l
Release
the ignition key as soon as the en-
gine starts to avoid damaging the starter
motor.

er electrical components are operating or
the blower speed is set to a high setting.
• Battery voltage or battery performance is low
• Check engine warning lamp is illumina-
ted or the “ ”
