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.
l Be careful of hot steam, which could be
blowing off the reserve tank cap.WARNINGl Do not attempt to remove the radiator
cap while the engine is hot.
3. Confirm that the cooling fan (A) is turn-

4.Check the coolant level in the reserve
tank (B).
5. Add coolant to the radiator and/or re-
serve tank if necessary (refer to the
“Maintenance” section).
WARNINGl Make sure that the engine has cooled
down before removing the radiator cap (C), because hot steam or boiling water
otherwise will gush from the filler port and may scald you.CAUTIONl Do not add coolant while the engine is hot.
Suddenly adding cold coolant could damage the engine. Wait for the engine to cool
down, then add coolant a little at a time.6. Examine the radiator hoses for coolant
leakage and the drive belt for looseness
or damage.
If there is anything wrong with the cool-
ing system or drive belt, we recommend
you to have it checked and repaired.Bleeding the fuel system
E00800701423
The fuel system should be bled to remove air
as described below if the fuel supply is ex- hausted during travel.
Pump the hand pump (A) at the top of the fuel filter until the hand pump becomes stiff.Then try again to start the engine.
If the engine does not start, repeat the process
above.
CAUTIONl Do not smoke or have any other open flame
near the vehicle while bleeding the fuel sys-
tem.
l Be sure to carefully clean away any spilt fuel
which could ignite and cause a fire.Removal of water from the
fuel filter E00800801525
If the fuel filter indication lamp in the instru-ment panel illuminates during driving, it indi-
cates that water has accumulated in the fuel filter. If this occurs, remove the water as de-
scribed below. 1. Loosen the drain plug (A) of the fuel fil-
ter.
Bleeding the fuel system

2.Operate the hand pump (B) slowly 6 or 7
times in order to force the water out
through the drain plug (A).
3. Tighten the drain plug (A) when water
no longer comes out.
4. Bleed the air in the fuel system. (Refer to “Bleeding the fuel system” onpage 8-11.)
5. Check to be sure that the fuel filter indi-
cation lamp illuminates when the igni- tion switch is turned to “ON” or the op-
eration mode is put in ON, and that it
goes off when the engine is started. If in
doubt, we recommend you to consult a specialist for necessary information.

near the vehicle while bleeding the fuel sys-
tem.
l Be sure to carefully clean away any water
drained out because any fuel mixed with the water could ignite and cause a fire.Tools, jack and jack handle

Spare wheel information
E00803601801
The spare wheel is stored under the floor of
the cargo bed.
Check the air pressure of the spare tyre fre-
quently and make sure it is ready for emer- gency use at any time.

Maintaining the spare wheel at the highest
specified air pressure will ensure that it can always be used under any conditions (city/ high-speed driving, varying load weight,
etc.).
CAUTIONl The pressure should be periodically checked
and maintained at the specified pressure while the tyre is stowed.
Driving with an insufficient tyre pressure
can lead to an accident. If you have no choice but to drive with an insufficient tyre
pressure, keep your speed down and inflate the tyre to the correct pressure as soon as
possible. (Refer to “Tyre inflation pressures”
on page 10-12.)To remove the spare wheel
