NOTE l When the engine on diesel-powered vehicles
fails to operate due to running out of fuel, it
may sometimes be difficult to start after refu-
eling. This is due to air entering the fuel sys-
tem. Therefore, air must be bled from the sys-
tem. (Refer to “Bleeding the fuel system” on
page 6-05.)

pressed, all turn-signal lamps will flash
on and off continuously.High-beam indication lamp E00501800115
This indication lamp illuminates when
the high-beam is used.Front fog lamp indication
lamp* E00501900347
This indication lamp illuminates while
the front fog lamps are on.Rear fog lamp indication lamp E00502000114
This indication lamp illuminates while
the rear fog lamp is on.Diesel preheat indication lamp E00502300250
This indication lamp illuminates when
the ignition switch is placed in the “ON”
position. As the glow plug becomes hot,
the lamp goes out and the engine can be
started.CAUTIONl If the diesel preheat indication
lamp comes on after the engine
is started, the engine speed may
not rise above the idling speed
because of fuel freezing. In this
case, keep the engine idling for
about ten minutes, then turn
off the ignition switch and im-
mediately turn it on again to
confirm that the diesel preheat
indication lamp is off.
NOTE
l If the engine is cold, the diesel pre-
heat indication lamp is on for a lon-
ger time.
l When the engine has not been star-
ted within about 5 seconds after
the diesel preheat indication lamp
went out, return the ignition
switch to the “LOCK” position.
Then, turn the switch to the “ON”
position to preheat the engine
again.
l When the engine is warm, the die-
sel preheat indication lamp does
not come on even if the ignition
switch is placed in the “ON” posi-
tion.Fuel filter indication lamp E00509900170
This indication lamp illuminates when
the ignition switch is turned to the “ON”
position and goes off after the engine
has started. If it lights up while the en-
gine is running, it indicates that water
has accumulated inside the fuel filter; if
this happens, remove the water from the
fuel filter.
Refer to “Removal of water from the
fuel filter” on page 6-06.
When the lamp goes out, you can re-
sume driving. If it either does not go out
or comes on from time to time, we rec-
ommend you to have the vehicle inspec-
ted.

switch is turned to the “ON” position,
and goes off after a few seconds.
Always make sure that the lamp goes off
before driving.
With the ignition switch in the “ON” po-
sition, the brake warning lamp illumi-
nates under the following conditions:
l When the parking brake lever has
been engaged.
l When the brake fluid level in the
reservoir falls to a low level.
l When the brake force distribution
function is not operating correctly.
(vehicles with anti-lock brake sys-
tem)CAUTIONl In the situations listed below,
brake performance may be com-
promised or the vehicle may be-
come unstable if brakes are ap-
plied suddenly; consequently,
avoid driving at high speeds or
applying the brakes suddenly.
Furthermore, immediately the
vehicle should be brought to a
stop in a safe location and to
have it checked.CAUTION• The brake warning lamp
does not illuminate when
the parking brake is applied
or does not turn off when
the parking brake is re-
leased.
• The ABS warning lamp and
brake warning lamp illumi-
nate at the same time.
For details, refer to “ABS
warning lamp” on page
4-44. (vehicles with anti-lock
brake system)
• The brake warning lamp re-
mains illuminated during
driving.
l The vehicle should be brought
to a halt in the following man-
ner when brake performance
has deteriorated. •Depress the brake pedal
harder than usual.
Even if the brake pedal
moves down to the very end
of its possible stroke, keep it
pressed down hard.
• Should the brakes fail, use
engine braking to reduce
your speed and carefully
pull the parking brake lever
to park your vehicle.
Depress the brake pedal to
operate the stop lamp to
alert the vehicles behind you.Check engine warning lamp E00502600657
This lamp is a part of an onboard diag-
nostic system which monitors the emis-
sions, engine and automatic transmission
control systems.
If a problem is detected in one of these
systems, this lamp illuminates.
Although your vehicle will usually be
drivable and not need towing, we recom-
mend you to have the system checked as
soon as possible.
This lamp will also illuminate for a few
seconds when the ignition switch is
turned to the “ON” position. If it does
not go off after a few seconds, we recom-
mend you to have the vehicle checked.CAUTIONl Prolonged driving with this
lamp on may cause further dam-
age to the emission control sys-
tem. It could also affect fuel
economy and drivability.
l If the lamp does not illuminate
when the ignition switch is
turned to the “ON” position,
we recommend you to have the
system checked.
