CAUTIONlIf the lamp does not illuminate
when the ignition switch is
turned to the “ON” position,
we recommend you to have the
system checked.
l If the lamp illuminates while
the engine is running, avoid
driving at high speeds and we
recommend you to have the sys-
tem checked.
During vehicle operation with
the lamp illuminated, the vehi-
cle may not accelerate when
you depress the accelerator ped-
al.
When the vehicle is stationary
with the lamp illuminated, you
must depress the brake pedal
more firmly than usual since
the engine idling speed is high-
er than usual and the vehicle
with an A/T has a stronger ten-
dency to creep forward.NOTE
l The engine electronic control mod-
ule accommodating the onboard di-
agnostic system has various fault
data (especially about the exhaust
emission) stored.
This data will be erased if a bat-
tery cable is disconnected which
will make a rapid diagnosis diffi-
cult. Do not disconnect a battery
cable when the check engine warn-
ing lamp is ON.Charge warning lamp E00502700821
This lamp illuminates when the ignition
switch is turned to the “ON” position,
and goes off after the engine has started.CAUTIONl If the lamp comes on while the
engine is running, the probable
cause is as shown below.
Park the vehicle immediately at
a safe place and we recommend
you to have it checked. •Broken drive belt or abnor-
mality in the charging sys-
tem. A broken drive belt cau-
ses poor braking efficiency.
Depress the brake pedal
harder than usual to park
the vehicle in a safe place.Oil pressure warning lamp E00502800620
This lamp illuminates when the ignition
switch is turned to the “ON” position,
and goes off after the engine has started.
If it illuminates while the engine is run-
ning, the oil pressure is too low.
If the warning lamp illuminates while
the engine is running, turn the engine off
and have it inspected.CAUTIONl If this lamp illuminates when
the engine oil level is not low,
have it inspected.
l This warning lamp does not in-
dicate the amount of oil in the
crankcase. This must be deter-
mined by checking the oil level
on the dipstick, while the en-
gine is switched off.
l If you continue driving with
low engine oil level or with this
warning lamp illuminated, en-
gine seizure may occur.
NOTE
l The oil pressure warning lamp
should not be treated as an indica-
tion of the engine’s oil level. The
oil level must be checked using
the dipstick.

5.Connect one end of the other jumper cable to
the negative (-) terminal of the booster bat-
tery (B), and the other end to the engine
block of the vehicle with the discharged bat-
tery at the point farthest from the battery.
NOTE
l Open the cover before connecting the jumper
cable to the positive (+) terminal of the battery.
(Refer to “Battery” on page 8-10.)WARNINGl Be sure to observe the connecting se-
quence of .
l Make sure that the connection is made
to the appointed position (shown in the il-
lustration). If the connection is made di-
rectly to the negative side of the battery,
the inflammable gasses generated from
the battery might catch fire and explode.
l When connecting the jumper cables, do
not connect the positive (+) cable to the
negative (-) terminal.
Otherwise sparks might cause explosion
of the battery.
CAUTIONl Take care not to get the jumper cable
caught in the cooling fan or other rotat-
ing part in the engine compartment.
l Use the proper cables suitable for the bat-
tery size.
Otherwise heat damage to the cables
could result.
l Check the jumper cables for damage and
corrosion before use.
6. Start the engine in the vehicle which has the
booster battery, let the engine idle a few mi-
nutes, then start the engine in the vehicle
with the discharged battery.
CAUTIONl Keep the engine of the vehicle giving assis-
tance running.
7. After the engine is started, disconnect the ca-
bles in the reverse order.
WARNINGl Charging the battery while it is installed
in the vehicle might cause the battery to
catch fire and explode.
Or damage to the vehicle could result. If
it has to be charged in that condition for
unavoidable reasons, disconnect the vehi-
cle side negative (-) terminal connected to
the battery.
l Keep sparks, cigarettes and flames away
from the battery because the battery may
produce an explosion.
l Use adequate ventilation when charging
or using the battery in an enclosed space.
l Remove all the caps before charging the
battery.
l Electrolyte is corrosive diluted sulphuric
acid.
If electrolyte (battery acid) comes into con-
tact with your hands, eyes, clothes and
the painted surface of your vehicle, it
should be thoroughly flushed with water.
If electrolyte gets in your eyes, flush them
with water immediately and thoroughly,
and get prompt medical attention.

Engine overheating E00800602777
If the water temperature gauge indication remains
in the overheating zone for a long time, the engine
may be overheating. If this occurs, take the follow-
ing corrective measures: 1. Stop the vehicle in a safe place.
2. Check whether steam is coming from the en-
gine compartment.
[ If steam does not come from the engine com-
partment]
With the engine still running, raise the bon-
net to ventilate the engine compartment.
[If steam is coming from the engine compart-
ment]
Stop the engine, and when the steam stops,
raise the bonnet to ventilate the engine com-
partment. Restart the engine.WARNINGl Do not open the bonnet while steam is com-
ing from the engine compartment. It
could cause steam or hot water to spurt
out, causing burns. Hot water could spurt
out even when there is no steam coming
out, and some parts will be very hot. Be
very careful when opening the bonnet.
l Be careful of hot steam, which could be
blowing off the reserve tank cap.
l Do not attempt to remove the radiator
cap while the engine is hot.

WARNINGlThe battery electrolyte is extremely caus-
tic. Do not allow it to come in contact
with your eyes, skin, clothing, or the pain-
ted surfaces of the vehicle. Spilt electro-
lyte should be flushed immediately with
ample amounts of water.
Irritation to eyes or skin from contact
with electrolyte requires immediate medi-
cal attention.
l Ventilate when charging or using the bat-
tery in an enclosed space.CAUTIONl Never disconnect the battery with the ig-
nition switch in the “ON” position; doing
so could damage the vehicle’s electrical
components.
l Never short-circuit the battery; doing so
could cause it to overheat and be damaged.
l Always wear protective eye goggles when
working near the battery.
l If the battery is to be quick-charged, first
disconnect the battery cables.
l In order to prevent a short circuit, be
sure to disconnect the negative (-) termi-
nal first.
l Keep it out of reach of children.CAUTIONlDo not bring the nearby parts, the plastic
parts and so on into contact with sulphu-
ric acid (battery electrolyte) which may
crack, stain or discolour them.
If they are in contact, wipe off with soft
cloth, chamois or the like and an aqueous
solution of neutral detergent then imme-
diately rinse the affected parts with plen-
ty of water.
NOTE
l Keep the terminals clean. After the battery is
connected, apply terminal protection grease.
To clean the terminals, use lukewarm water.
l Check to see if the battery is securely instal-
led and cannot be moved during travel. Also
check each terminal for tightness.
l When the vehicle is to be left unused for a
long period of time, remove the battery and
store it in a place where the battery fluid will
not freeze. The battery should be stored only
in a fully charged condition.
