been unlocked using the keyless entry system or the keyless operation function.
Also, for vehicles equipped with the interior
alarm sensor, the alarm will be activated if
any of the following occurs:
l attempt to an unlawful moving of the ve-
hicle (the vehicle inclination detection
function)
l detection of a motion in the vehicle (the
interior intrusion detection function)

electric tailgateVehicles with
electrictailgate

The security alarm has fourmodes:
System preparation mode (ap- proximately 20 seconds)
(The buzzer sounds intermittently and the se-curity indicator (A) blinks.)
The system preparation time extends fromthe point at which all of the doors and the
tailgate are locked by pressing the LOCK
switch on the remote control switch or the
keyless operation function to the point at which the system armed mode goes into ef- fect.
During this time, it is possible to temporarily
open a door or the tailgate without using the
keyless entry system or the keyless operation function and without causing the alarm tosound (for example, when you forget some-
thing inside the vehicle or realize that a win- dow is open).
System armed mode
(The buzzer stops and the security indicator continues to blink with the indicator’s re-
duced lit-up duration time.)
Once the system preparation mode has ended,
the system armed mode starts.
If an unlawful opening of any of the doors,
tailgate or bonnet is detected during the sys- tem armed mode, the alarm will be activated
to warn people around the vehicle of an ab-
normal condition.
Also, for vehicles equipped with the interior alarm sensor, if unlawful moving of the vehi-
cle is attempted or a vehicle intrusion is de-
tected, the alarm will be activated.
Alarm activation
Inside alarm (approximately 10 seconds):
The buzzer sounds, warning those inside the vehicle of an abnormal condition.
(except for vehicles equipped with the interi-
or alarm sensor)
Outside alarm (approximately 30 seconds):
The turn-signal lamps blink and the horn (the
siren for vehicles equipped with the interior alarm sensor) sounds, warning people around
the vehicle of an abnormal condition.
Refer to “Alarm activation” on page 4-33.NOTEl The alarm will resume if unlawful actions
are taken again, even if the alarm has stop-
ped.
System cancellation
It is possible to cancel the system activation
during the system preparation mode or the system armed mode.
In addition, it is possible to cancel the alarm
once it has been activated.
Refer to “Cancelling the system” on page 4-32, “Cancelling the alarm” on page 4-34.
NOTEl When lending the vehicle to another person
or allowing the vehicle to be driven bysomeone who is unfamiliar with the securityalarm system, be sure to give the person a
proper explanation of the security alarm sys- tem.
If a person who is unfamiliar with the securi-
ty alarm system accidentally unlocked the vehicle, causing the alarm to sound, the
alarm would be a nuisance to people nearby.

E01000404462
To check and refill engine oil
The engine oil used has a significant effecton 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 vehicle on a horizontal surface.
2. Switch off the engine.
3. Wait a few minutes.
4. Remove the dipstick and wipe it with a
clean cloth.
5. Reinsert the dipstick as far as it goes.
6. Remove the dipstick and read the oil lev- el, which should always be within therange indicated.
7. If the oil level is below the specified
limit, remove the cap located on the cyl- inder head cover and add enough oil to
raise the level to within the specified
range. Do not overfill to avoid engine damage. Be sure to use the specified en-
gine oil and do not mix various types of
oil.
8. After adding oil, close the cap securely.
9. Confirm the oil level by repeating step 4
to 6.

Open the washer fluid reservoir cap andcheck the level of washer fluid with the dip- stick.
If the level is low, replenish the container with washer fluid.
NOTEl The washer fluid container serves the wind-
screen, rear window and headlamps.During cold weather
To ensure proper operation of the washers at
low temperatures, use a fluid containing ananti-freezing agent.
Brake fluid
E01000801827
To check the fluid level
The fluid level must be between the “MAX”
and “MIN” marks on the reservoir.The fluid level is monitored by a float. When
the fluid level falls below the “MIN” mark, the brake fluid warning lamp lights up.The fluid level falls slightly with wear of the brake pads, but this does not indicate any ab-
normality.

The fluid in the master cylinder should be checked when doing other work under thebonnet. The brake system should also be checked for leakage at the same time.
If the fluid level falls markedly in a short length of time, it indicates leaks from the
brake system.
If this occurs, we recommend you to have the
vehicle checked.
