Indication lamps
E00501600012Turn-signal indication lamps/
Hazard warning indication
lamps
E00501700185
These
indication lamps blink on and off
when a turn-signal lamp is operating.
NOTE
l If the blinking is too fast, the
cause may be a blown lamp bulb
or a faulty turn-signal connection.
When the hazard warning lamp switch is
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*
E00502000068
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. CAUTION
l
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. Instruments and controls

Headlamps
NOTE l Do
not leave the headlamps and other lamps
on for a long time while the engine is station-
ary (not running). A run-down battery could
result.
l When it rains or when the vehicle has been
washed, the inside of the lens sometimes be-
comes foggy. This is the same phenomenon
as when window glass mists up on a humid
day, and does not indicate a functional prob-
lem. When the lamp is switched on, the heat
will remove the fog. However, if water gath-
ers inside the lamp, we recommend you to
have it checked. Type 1

tomatic on/off control with the ignition
switch in the “ON” position, the front fog
lamps (if so equipped) and rear fog lamp (if
so equipped) also go off. When the head-
lamps are subsequently turned back on by
the automatic on/off control, the front fog
lamps also come on but the rear fog lamp
stays off. If you wish to turn the rear fog
lamp back on, operate the switch again.

ers; push the switch again to turn them off.
When this switch is operated, all turn-signal lamps
flash continuously, as do the turn-signal indication
lamps in the instrument cluster. NOTE
