Tripmeter
The tripmeter indicates
the distance travelled dur-
ing a particular trip or period.
There are two tripmeter displays: TRIP and
.
TRIP can be used to measure the distance trav-
elled since the
current trip began. At the same time,
TRIP can be used to measure the distance from
an intermediate location.
To switch the
display between TRIP and TRIP
, press the reset button (B) less than 1 second.
NOTE l If
you do
not push the button for about
10 seconds while the service reminder is
showing, the display will return to the odom-
eter indication.
l The odometer, tripmeter, and service remind-
er indications are given for 30 seconds after
the ignition switch has been turned to the
“ACC” or “LOCK” position.
l After the odometer, tripmeter, and service re-
minder indications have gone off, they come
back on for about 30 seconds if either of the
following actions takes place.
• The driver’s door is opened.
• The reset button is pressed.

Check engine warning lamp
E00502601696
This lamp is
a part of an onboard diag-
nostic system which monitors the emis-
sions, engine control system or automat-
ic transmission control systems.
If a problem is detected in one of these
systems, this lamp illuminates.
Although your vehicle will usually be
drivable and not need towing, we recom-
mend you to have the system checked as
soon as possible.
[Vehicles to comply with the Euro 3 and
Euro 4 regulation]
This lamp will also illuminate for a few
seconds when the ignition switch is
turned to the “ON” position. If it does
not go off after a few seconds, we recom-
mend you to have the vehicle checked.
[Vehicles to comply with the Euro 5]
This lamp will also illuminate when the
ignition switch is turned “ON”, and goes
off after the engine has started. If it does
not go off after the engine has started,
we recommend you to have the system
checked. CAUTION
l
Prolonged driving
with
this
lamp on may cause further dam-
age to the emission control sys-
tem. It could also affect fuel
economy and drivability. CAUTION
l
If 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.
Accelerator pedal and brake
pedal response may be negative-
ly influenced under these condi-
tions.
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 display
E00502700472
This lamp illuminates
when the ignition
switch is turned to the “ON” position,
and goes off after the engine has started. CAUTION
l
If it illuminates
while the en-
gine is running, there is a prob-
lem in the charging system. In
this case, immediately park
your vehicle in a safe place and
we recommend you to have it
checked. Oil pressure warning lamp
E00502800529
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. Turn
the engine off and have it inspected. CAUTION
l
This warning
lamp
does not in-
dicate the amount of oil level in
the engine. This must be deter-
mined by checking the oil level
on the dipstick, while the en-
gine is switched off.
l If this lamp illuminates when
the engine oil level is not low,
have it inspected.
l If you continue driving with
low engine oil level or with this
warning lamp illuminated, en-
gine seizure may occur. Instruments and controls

The driving
range is shown based on the ac-
cumulated fuel consumption data, however,
may be changed depending on the driving con-
dition (road condition, driving behavior,
etc.). If the battery terminals are disconnec-
ted, the accumulated fuel consumption data
will be erased. It is recommended to use the
indication as reference.
l When the vehicle is fueled, the driving range
will be updated. However, if the amount of
fueling is small, the indication may not be cor-
rect. Therefore, fill up the tank as much as
possible in case of fueling.
l When the vehicle is stopped on a steep slope,
the value of the driving range may increase.
This is caused by the fuel movement inside
the tank on the slope and is not deemed as a
failure.

CAUTION
l
Do not drive the vehicle with the mirror
folded in. The lack of rearward visibility
normally provided the mirror could lead
to an accident.
Retracting and extending the mirrors using the
mirror retractor switch
With the ignition
switch in the “ON” or “ACC” po-
sition, push the mirror retractor switch to retract
the mirrors. Push it again to extend the mirrors to
their original positions.
After placing the ignition switch in the “LOCK” po-
sition, it is possible to retract and extend the mir-
rors using the mirror retractor switch for about
30 seconds. CAUTION
l
It is possible
to retract and extend the mir-
rors by hand. After retracting a mirror us-
ing the mirror retractor switch, however,
you should extend it by using the switch
again, not by hand. If you extended the
mirror by hand after retracting it using
the switch, it would not properly lock in
position. As a result, it could move be-
cause of the wind or vibration while you
are driving, taking away your rearward
visibility.
NOTE l Be
careful not
to get your hands trapped
while a mirror is moving.
l If you move a mirror by hand or it moves af-
ter hitting a person or object, you may not be
able to return it to its original position using
the mirror retractor switch. If this happens,
push the mirror retractor switch to place the
mirror in its retracted position and then push
the switch again to return the mirror to its orig-
inal position.
l If the battery voltage is low and you start the
engine while extending the mirrors, the mir-
rors may stop part-way. If this happens, push
the mirror retractor switch to retract the mir-
rors and then push the switch again to extend
them.
l When freezing has occurred and mirrors fail
to operate as intended, please refrain from re-
peated pushing of the retractor switch as this
action can result in burn-out of the mirror mo-
tor circuits. Automatic extension of mirrors
If
the
engine
is stopped and started with the mirrors
retracted, the mirrors automatically extend for safe-
ty when the vehicle speed reaches 30 km/h
(19 mph).

ly ventilated area any longer than is nee-
ded to move your vehicle in or out of the
area. Carbon monoxide gases are odour-
less and can be fatal. CAUTION
l
Never attempt to
start the engine by push-
ing or pulling the vehicle.
l Do not run the engine at high rpm or
drive the vehicle at high speed until the en-
gine has had a chance to warm up.
l Release the ignition key as soon as the en-
gine starts to avoid damaging the starter
motor.
l If your vehicle is equipped with a turbo-
charger, do not stop the engine immedi-
ately after high-speed or uphill driving.

Automatic transmission
INVECS-II Sports Mode 5A/T
(Intelligent & Innovative Vehicle Electronic Control System II) E00603200101
Designed for
optimum control and equipped with
adaptive control capabilities, the electronically con-
trolled transmission optimally matches gear shifts
to almost all driving and road conditions. CAUTION
l
This system
is
strictly intended to provide
supplementary functions. When travel-
ling downhill under certain conditions or
immediately after starting off when the au-
tomatic transmission is cold, no automat-
ic shiftdown may be made. The driver
should shiftdown to a lower gear to use en-
gine braking. Try to drive safely at all time.
NOTE l During
running-in period
or immediately af-
ter reconnection of the battery cable, there
may be a case where gear shifts are not made
smoothly. This does not indicate a faulty trans-
mission.
Gear shifts will become smooth after the trans-
mission has been shifted several times by the
electronic control system.
Selector lever operation E00603300522
The transmission has 5 forward gears and 1 reverse
gear. The individual gears are selected automatically, de-
pending
on the
position of the gear selector lever,
the speed of the vehicle and the position of the ac-
celerator pedal.
The selector lever has 2 gates; the main gate (1)
and the manual gate (2). In the main gate, the selector lever has 4 positions,
and is equipped
with a lock button (A) to avoid in-
advertent selection of the wrong gear. The lock button must be pushed while
the brake
pedal
is depressed to move the
selector lever. The lock button must be pushed to move
the selector lever.

ABS warning lamp
E00607200532
The ABS warning
lamp should illuminate when the
ignition switch is turned “ON”, and should go off
in a few seconds. CAUTION
l
If the
warning
lamp stays on or does not
illuminate when you start the vehicle, it in-
dicates that the ABS is not functioning
and that only the standard brake system
is in operation. (In this condition the stand-
ard hydraulic brake system will still func-
tion.) We recommend you to have your ve-
hicle inspected as soon as possible. NOTE
l Depressing
the brake
pedal repeatedly may
turn on the brake warning lamp, ABS warn-
ing lamp and brake warning buzzer. (The
ASTC indication lamp and Active Stability
Control function OFF indication lamp also
turn on.) It is normal if the lamp goes out
and the buzzer stops sounding after a few sec-
onds.
l On vehicles with the rear differential lock,
the active stability & traction control
(ASTC) and anti-lock brake system (ABS)
functions are suspended while the rear differ-
ential lock is activated. ASTC indication
lamp, Active Stability Control function OFF
indication lamp, ABS warning lamp and
brake warning lamp are illuminated while
these functions are suspended. It does not in-
dicate a problem. When the rear differential
lock is disengaged, these lamps go out and
function again.
Refer to “Brake warning lamp” on page 3-09,
“ASTC indication lamp” on page 4-42, “Ac-
tive stability control function OFF indication
lamp” on page 4-43. If the warning lamp illuminates while
driving
E00607300416
If only the ABS warning lamp illuminates l Avoid
hard
braking
and high-speed driving.
Stop the vehicle in a safe place.
Restart the engine and check to see whether
the lamp goes out after a few minutes driv-
ing; if it then remains off during driving,
there is no problem.
However, if the lamp does not go out, or if it
lights up again when the vehicle is driven,
we recommend you to have the vehicle
checked as soon as possible.
l The ABS warning lamp can illuminate if the
battery voltage is insufficient when the en-
gine is started. In this case, it does not indi-
cate an ABS fault.
Charge the battery by allowing the engine to
idle for a while.
If the battery has been charged but the ABS
warning lamp continues to illuminate or illu-
minates intermittently, we recommend you
to have the vehicle inspected.
If the ABS warning lamp and brake warning
lamp illuminate at the same time l The ABS and brake force distribution func-
tion will not work, so hard braking could
make the vehicle unstable.
Avoid hard braking and high-speed driving.
Stop the vehicle in a safe place and we rec-
ommend you to have it checked. Starting and driving
