WARNINGlElectrolyte is corrosive diluted sulphuric
acid.
If electrolyte (battery acid) comes into contact 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.CAUTIONl Do not attempt to start the engine by pulling
or pushing the vehicle.
It could damage your vehicle.
l Always wear protective eye goggles when
working near the battery.
l Keep the battery out of the reach of children.NOTEl
On vehicles with anti-lock brake system, if
the vehicle is put in motion without fully charging the battery, it might cause the loss
of smooth engine operation and the antilock brake warning lamp to illuminate.
Refer to “Anti-lock brake system (ABS)” on
page 6-45.Engine overheating
E00800602777
If the water temperature gauge indication re-
mains in the overheating zone for a long
time, the engine may be overheating. If this occurs, take the following corrective meas-
ures: 1. Stop the vehicle in a safe place.
2. Check whether steam is coming from the
engine compartment.

[If steam does not come from the engine
compartment]
With the engine still running, raise the bonnet to ventilate the engine compart-
ment.

[If steam is coming from the engine
compartment]
Stop the engine, and when the steam
stops, raise the bonnet to ventilate the engine compartment. Restart the engine.WARNINGl Do not open the bonnet while steam is
coming 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.WARNINGl 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.

CAUTIONlSome types of hot water washing equipment
apply high pressure and heat to the vehicle.
They may cause heat distortion and damage to the vehicle resin parts and may result in
flooding of the vehicle interior. Therefore;
observe the following.
• Maintain a distance of approx. 50 cm or
more between the vehicle body and the washing nozzle.
• When washing around the door glass,
hold the nozzle at a distance of more than
50 cm and at right angles to the glass sur-
face.
l After washing the vehicle, drive the vehicle
slowly while lightly depressing the brake
pedal several times in order to dry out the brakes.
Leaving the brakes wet could result in re-
duced braking performance. Also, there is a possibility that they could freeze up or be-
come inoperative due to rust, rendering the vehicle unable to move.
l When using an automatic car wash, pay at-
tention to the following items, referring to the operation manual or consulting a car
wash operator. If the following procedure is not followed, it could result in damage to
your vehicle.
• The outside mirrors are retracted.
• If your vehicle is equipped with the pillar
antenna, it can be retracted.
• If your vehicle is equipped with the roof
antenna, it can be removed.During cold weather
Salt and other chemicals spread on the roads
in some areas in winter can have a harmful effect on the vehicle body. You should there-
fore wash the vehicle as often as possible in accordance with our care-instructions. It is
recommended to have a preservative applied
and the underfloor protection checked before and after the cold weather season.
After washing your vehicle, wipe off all wa- terdrops from the rubber parts around the
doors to prevent the doors from freezing.
NOTEl To prevent freezing of the weatherstripping
on the doors, bonnet, etc., they should be treated with silicone spray.Waxing
E00901000687
Waxing the vehicle will help prevent the ad-
herence of dust and road chemicals to the paintwork. Apply a wax solution after wash- ing the vehicle, or at least once every three
months to assist displacing of water.
Do not wax your vehicle in direct sunlight.
You should wax after the surfaces have
cooled.
CAUTIONl Waxes containing high abrasive compounds
should not be used. Such waxes remove rust and stains effectively from the paintwork but
they are harmful to the lustre on the painted
surface and the plated surface.
Further, they are harmful to glossy surfaces such as grille, garnish, mouldings, etc.
l Do not use petrol or paint thinners to remove
road tar or other contamination to the vehi-
cle surface.
l Do not apply wax on the areas having black
mat coating as it can cause uneven discolou-
ration, patches, blurs, etc. If stained with wax, immediately wipe off with a piece of
soft cloth and warm water.
l On vehicles with a sunroof, be careful when
waxing the area around the sunroof opening, not to put any wax on the weatherstrip
(black rubber). If stained with wax, the weatherstrip cannot maintain a weatherproof
seal with the sunroof.Polishing
E00901100011
The vehicle should only be polished if the
paintwork has become stained or lost its lus- tre. Matt-finish parts and plastic bumpers
must not be polished, polishing these parts will stain them or damage their finish.

lDo not drive with an extremely low fuel
level; running out of fuel could cause
damage to the catalytic converter.
l Do not switch OFF the ignition switch
while driving.
l Do not attempt to start the engine by
pushing the vehicle. If the battery isweak or discharged, use another battery
to start the engine.
l Do not idle the engine for prolonged pe-
riods during very rough idle or malfunc-
tioning operating conditions.
l Do not race the engine when turning off
the ignition switch. This will cause the catalytic converter to be damaged due tocontact with unburnt fuel.
l Stop driving the vehicle if you think the
performance is noticeably low, or if theengine has a malfunction such as with
the ignition, etc.
If it is impractical to stop driving imme- diately, reduce the speed and drive for
only a short time. We recommend you to have your vehicle inspected as soon as possible.l In unusual situations involving major en-
gine problems, a burnt smell may indi- cate severe and abnormal catalyst over-
heating.
If this occurs, the vehicle should be stop- ped in a safe place, the engine switchedoff and the vehicle allowed to cool.
Once the engine is cool, a service, in-
cluding a tune-up to manufacturer’s specifications, should be obtained imme-
diately.Bonnet
E01000302281
To open
Pull the release lever towards you to unlock
the bonnet.
Raise the bonnet while pressing the safety
lock.
NOTEl Only open the bonnet when the wipers are in
the parked position. Failure to do so may
cause damage to the bonnet, wiper arms or
front windscreen.
Bonnet
10-03OKTE15E3Maintenance10LHD RHD

Support the bonnet by inserting the supportbar in its slot.CAUTIONl Note that the support bar may disengage the
bonnet if the open bonnet is lifted by astrong wind.
l Always insert the support bar into the hole
provided specifically for this purpose. Sup- porting the bonnet at any other location
could result in the support bar slipping out
and lead to an accident.
To close
Unlatch the support bar and clip it in its hold-
er.
Slowly lower the bonnet to a position about
20 cm above the closed position, then let it drop.NOTEl If this does not close the bonnet, release it
from a slightly higher position.
l Do not press down the bonnet hard with a
hand as it may damage the bonnet.CAUTIONl Be careful that hands or fingers are not trap-
ped when closing the bonnet.
l Before driving, make sure that the bonnet is
securely locked. An incompletely locked bonnet can suddenly open while driving.
This can be extremely dangerous.Engine oil

C- Oil replacement indication mark
Type 1Type 2
The engine oil used has a significant effect on the engine’s performance, service life and
startability. Be sure to use oil of the recom- mended quality and appropriate viscosity.
All engines consume a certain amount of oil during normal operation. Therefore, it is im-portant to check the oil level at regular inter-
vals or before starting a long trip. 1. Park the car on a horizontal surface.
2. Switch off the engine.
3. Wait a few minutes.
