CAUTIONlFor petrol-powered vehicles, do not run out
of fuel, or the catalytic converter may be ad-versely affected.
If the warning display appears, refuel as
soon as possible.
l For diesel-powered vehicles, do not drive
with an extremely low fuel level; running out of fuel could cause damage to the fuel
system.NOTEl It may take several seconds to stabilise the
display after refilling the tank.
l If fuel is added with the ignition switch or
the operation mode is in ON, the fuel gauge may incorrectly indicate the fuel level.Fuel lid mark

NOTElFor diesel-powered vehicles, if the tempera-
ture inside the engine compartment is high,
the cooling fans (A) will continue to operate for some time even if the engine is stopped.
Therefore, the operation sound of the cool-
ing fans may be heard even after the engine is stopped. This sound is normal and does
not indicate a malfunction.
After operating for a period of time, the cooling fans will stop automatically.
*: Front of the vehicle
Using the MIVEC engine*
The MIVEC engine automatically switches
its intake-valve control between a low-speed mode and a high-speed mode in accordancewith driving conditions for maximum engine
performance.
NOTEl To protect the engine, the high-speed mode
may not be selected while the engine coolanttemperature is low.Fuel injection amount learning
process (diesel-powered vehi- cles)
E00627900043
To keep exhaust emissions and engine noise low, the engine very occasionally performs a
learning process for the fuel injection
amount.
The engine sounds slightly different from
usual while the learning process is taking place. The change in the engine sound does
not indicate a fault.
Diesel particulate filter
(DPF)* E00619800245
The diesel particulate filter (DPF) is a devicethat captures most of the particulate matter
(PM) in the exhaust emissions of the diesel engine. The DPF automatically burns away trapped PM during vehicle operation. Under
certain driving conditions, however, the DPF is not able to burn away all of the trapped PM
and, as a result, an excessive amount of PM accumulates inside it.
WARNINGl The DPF reaches very high temperatures.
Do not park your vehicle in areas where
combustible materials such as dry grass
or leaves can come in contact with a hot exhaust system since a fire could occur.CAUTIONl Do not use any type of fuel or engine oil that
is not specified for your vehicle. Also, do not use any moisture-removing agent or oth-
er fuel additive. Such substances could have a detrimental effect on the DPF.
Refer to “Fuel selection” on page 2-02 and
“Engine oil” on page 10-04.NOTEl To minimize the likelihood of excessive ac-
cumulation of PM, try to avoid driving for long periods at low speeds and repeatedly
driving short distances.
l The engine sounds slightly different from
usual while the DPF automatically burns
away trapped PM. The change in the engine
sound does not indicate a fault.

NOTElDuring cold weather, shifting may be diffi-
cult until the transmission lubricant has
warmed up. This is normal and not harmful
to the transmission.
l If it is hard to shift into 1 st
, depress the
clutch pedal again; the shift will then be eas-
ier to make.
l The gearshift indicator (if so equipped)
shows recommended gearshift points for
fuel-efficient driving. It shows a “
” when
an upshift is recommended, and it shows a
“
” when a downshift is recommended.
Type 2Type 1Moving the gearshift lever to
the “R” (Reverse) position
E00615400100
Vehicles equipped with 5M/T
To shift into the “R” (Reverse) position from
5 th
gear, move the gearshift lever to the “N”
(Neutral) position, and then move it to the “R” (Reverse) position.
Vehicles equipped with 6M/T
Pull up the pull-ring (A), then move the gear-
shift lever to the “R” (Reverse) position with the pull-ring still pulled.
CAUTIONl Do not pull up the pull-ring (A) when mov-
ing the gearshift lever to any position other than the “R” (Reverse) position. If you al-
ways pulled up the pull-ring (A) when mov- ing the gearshift lever, you could uninten- tionally move the gearshift lever to the “R”
(Reverse) position and cause an accident and/or a transmission fault.
The pull-ring will return to its original posi-
tion when you return the gearshift lever to the“N” (Neutral) position.
CAUTIONl If the pull-ring will not return from the
pulled-up position, we recommend you to
have the vehicle inspected.
