mark (A) is no longer shown every time the igni-
tion switch is turned from the “OFF” position to
the “ON” position. 1. Push the reset button (D) to view the number
of months and driving distance remaining un-
til the next inspection.
2. Give the reset button (D) a long push (at least two seconds to make the spanner mark
(A) start flashing. (If you do not touch the re-
set button for 10 seconds while the spanner

Fuel gauge
E00500700856
The fuel gauge
indicates the fuel level in the fuel
tank when the ignition switch is in the “ON” position. F- Full
E- Empty
CAUTION
l
For petrol-powered
vehicles,
do not drive
with an extremely low fuel level; running
out of fuel could cause damage to the cat-
alytic converter.
l For diesel-powered vehicles, do not drive
with an extremely low fuel level; running
out of fuel could cause damage to the fuel
system.
NOTE l When
the vehicle

has been refuelled, the point-
er in the fuel gauge takes a short while to sta-
bilize. l
The fuel gauge will not give an accurate indi-
cation
if
the

vehicle is refuelled with the igni-
tion switch in the “ON” position.
l When the engine on diesel-powered vehicles
fails to operate due to running out of fuel, it
may sometimes be difficult to start after refu-
eling. This is due to air entering the fuel sys-
tem. Therefore, air must be bled from the sys-
tem. (Refer to “Bleeding the fuel system” on
page 6-06.)
Fuel lid mark
The fuel lid mark (A) indicates that the fuel tank fill-
er door is located on the right side of the vehicle.
Low fuel warning lamp E00508100595
The warning lamp (A) illuminates when the fuel lev-
el is getting

low (approx. 10 litres) with the igni-
tion switch in the “ON” position. Refuel as soon as
possible. NOTE
l On
inclines or

curves, due to the movement
of fuel in the tank, the low fuel warning lamp
may indicate incorrectly.
Water temperature gauge E00500800408
The water temperature gauge indicates the engine
coolant temperature when

the ignition switch is in
the “ON” position. CAUTION
l
If the indication
needle enters the H zone
while the engine is running, it indicates
that the engine is possibly overheating. Im-
mediately park your vehicle in a safe
place and make the necessary correc-
tions. (Refer to “Engine overheating” on
page 6-04.)
While driving, care should always be tak-
en to maintain the normal operating tem-
perature. Instruments and controls

Indication lamps
E00501600012Turn-signal indication lamps/
Hazard warning indication
lamps
E00501700068
These indication lamps
blink on and off
when a turn-signal lamp is operating.
NOTE
l If the blinking is too fast, the
cause may be a blown lamp bulb
or a faulty turn-signal connection.
When the hazard warning lamp switch is
pressed, all turn-signal lamps will flash
on and off continuously. High-beam indication lamp
E00501800072
This indication lamp

illuminates when
the high-beam is used. Front fog lamp indication
lamp*
E00501900132
This indication lamp

illuminates while
the front fog lamps are on. Rear fog lamp indication lamp
E00502000084
This lamp illuminates

while the rear fog
lamp is on. Position lamp indication lamp
E00508900102
This lamp illuminates

with the lamp
switch at “ ” or “ ” position
Diesel preheat indication lamp
(diesel-powered vehicles)
E00502300146
This indication lamp

illuminates when
the ignition switch is placed in the “ON”
position. As the glow plug becomes hot,
the lamp goes out and the engine can be
started. CAUTION
l
If the
diesel
preheat indication
lamp comes on after the engine
is started, the engine speed may
not rise above the idling speed
because of fuel freezing. In this
case, keep the engine idling for
about ten minutes, then turn
off the ignition switch and im-
mediately turn it on again to
confirm that the diesel preheat
indication lamp is off.
NOTE l If
the engine

is cold, the diesel pre-
heat indication lamp is on for a lon-
ger time. l
When the
engine
has not been star-
ted within about 5 seconds after
the diesel preheat indication lamp
went out, return the ignition
switch to the “LOCK” position.
Then, turn the switch to the “ON”
position to preheat the engine
again.
l When the engine is warm, the die-
sel preheat indication lamp does
not come on even if the ignition
switch is placed in the “ON” posi-
tion. Fuel filter indication lamp (die-
sel-powered vehicles)
E00509900239
This indication lamp

illuminates when
the ignition switch is turned to the “ON”
position and goes off after the engine
has started. If it lights up while the en-
gine is running, it indicates that water
has accumulated inside the fuel filter; if
this happens, remove the water from the
fuel filter. Refer to “Removal of water
from the fuel filter (diesel-powered vehi-
cles only)” on page 6-06.
When the lamp goes out, you can re-
sume driving. If it either does not go out
or comes on from time to time, we rec-
ommend you to have the vehicle inspec-
ted. Instruments and controls

Warning lamps
E00502400017Brake warning lamp (brake
warning buzzer)
E00502501712
This lamp illuminates
when the ignition
switch is turned to the “ON” position,
and goes off after a few seconds.
Always make sure that the lamp goes off
before driving.
With the ignition switch in the “ON” po-
sition, the brake warning lamp illumi-
nates under the following conditions:
l When the parking brake lever has
been engaged.
l When the brake fluid level in the
reservoir falls to a low level.
l When the brake force distribution
function or the brake system is not
operating correctly.
Brake warning buzzer
When there is a danger of brake perform-
ance becoming compromised,

a buzzer
will sound to alert the driver. If this buz-
zer should continue to sound, park your
vehicle in a safe place and we recom-
mend you to have it checked. NOTE
l Depressing
the brake

pedal repeat-
edly may turn on the brake warn-
ing lamp, ABS warning lamp and
brake warning buzzer. It is normal
if the lamp goes out and the buz-
zer stops sounding after a few sec-
onds. CAUTION
l
In the
situations
listed below,
brake performance may be com-
promised or the vehicle may be-
come unstable if brakes are ap-
plied suddenly; consequently,
avoid driving at high speeds or
applying the brakes suddenly.
Furthermore, the vehicle
should be brought to a stop in a
safe location and to have it
checked. • The brake warning lampdoes not illuminate when
the parking brake is applied
or does not turn off when
the parking brake is re-
leased.
• The ABS warning lamp and brake warning lamp illumi-
nate at the same time.
For details, refer to “ABS
warning lamp” on page
4-40.
• The brake warning buzzer does not turn off.
l The vehicle should be brought
to a halt in the following man- CAUTION
ner when brake performance
has deteriorated.
• Depress the brake

pedal
harder than usual.
Even if the brake pedal
moves down to the very end
of its possible stroke, keep it
pressed down hard.
• Should the brakes fail, use engine braking to reduce
your speed and pull the park-
ing brake lever.
Depress the brake pedal to
operate the stop lamp to
alert the vehicles behind you.
NOTE l In
certain cases

immediately after
the engine has been started or
when the brake pedal is depressed
repeatedly, a noise generated by
operation of brake devices may be
heard coming from the engine com-
partment. At this time, you may
feel a shock from the brake pedal
if you depress it. This type of
noise or shock is normal and there
is no need for concern. In fact,
they indicate that the correspond-
ing devices are operating normally.
l The brake system uses brake fluid
pressurized by the pump.

4-37. Instruments and controls
