l
The use of special 
shaped,  damaged compact
discs (like cracked discs) or low-quality com-
pact  discs  (like  warped  discs  or  burrs  on  the
discs)  such  as  those  shown  will  damage  the
CD player. l
In the following circumstances, 
moisture 
 can
form  on  discs  and  inside  the  audio  system,
preventing normal operation. • When  there  is  high  humidity  (for  exam-ple, when it is raining). • When  the  temperature  suddenly  rises,
such  as  right  after 
the  heater  is  turned  on
in cold weather.
 
In  this  case,  wait  until  the  moisture  has
had time to dry out.
l When the CD player is subjected to violent vi-
brations, such as during off-road driving, the
tracking may not work.
l When  storing  compact  discs,  always  store
them in their separate cases. Never place com-
pact  discs  in  direct  sunlight,  or  in  any  place
where the temperature or humidity is high.
l Never touch the flat surface of the disc with-
out a label. This will damage the disc surface
and could affect the sound quality. When han-
dling  a  compact  disc,  always  hold  it  by  the
outer edge and the centre hole.
l To  clean  a  disc,  use  a  soft,  clean,  dry  cloth.
Wipe  directly  from  the  centre  hole  towards
the outer edge. Do not wipe in a circle. Nev-
er  use  any  chemicals  such  as  benzine,  paint
thinner, a disc spray cleaner, or an anti-static
agent on the disc. l
Do  not  use  a 
ball  point  pen,  felt  pen,  pencil,
etc. to write on the label surface of the disc.
l Do  not  put  additional  labels  (A)  or  stickers
(B)  on  compact  discs.  Also,  do  not  use  any
compact  disc  on  which  a  label  or  sticker  has
started  to  peel  off  or  any  compact  disc  that
has  stickiness  or  other  contamination  left  by
a  peeled-off  label  or  sticker.  If  you  use  such
a compact disc, the CD player may stop work-
ing properly and you may not be able to eject
the compact disc. Notes on CD-Rs/RWs
E00725100039
l You 
may 
have  trouble 
playing 
 back  some
CD-R/RW  discs  recorded  on  CD  recorders
(CD-R/RW drives), either due to their record-
ing  characteristics  or  dirt,  fingerprints,
scratches, etc. on the disc surface.
l CD-R/RW discs are less resistant to high tem-
peratures and high humidity than ordinary mu-
sic CDs. Leaving them inside a vehicle for ex-
tended  periods  may  damage  them  and  make
playback impossible. For pleasant driving

If  the  engine  cannot  be 
started  because  the  battery
is  weak  or  dead,  the  battery  from  another  vehicle
can be used with jumper cables to start the engine. WARNING
l To  start  the  engine 
using 
 jumper  cables
connected  from  another  vehicle,  perform
the correct procedures according to the in-
struction  manual.  Incorrect  procedures
could result in a fire or explosion or dam-
age to the vehicles.
1. Get  the  vehicles  close  enough  so  the  jumper
cables  can 
reach,  but 
be  sure  the  vehicles
aren’t touching each other.

ing  the  vehicle,  or  the  valve  may  be  dam-
aged.
NOTE l Occasionally 
when  the  vehicle  is 
jacked  up,
the  grooved  portion  of  the  designated  point
will  not  come  off.  When  this  happens,  rock
the vehicle to lower the ram.
l If the jack is difficult to remove by hand, in-
sert the jack handle (L) into the bracket (M).
Then using the handle, remove the jack. WARNING
l Stop jacking up the 
vehicle 
 as soon as the
tyre is raised off the ground. It is danger-
ous to raise the vehicle any higher.
l Do not get under your vehicle while using
the jack. WARNING
l Do not bump the raised 
 vehicle or leave it
sitting  on  the  jack  for  a  long  time.  Both
are very dangerous.
l Do  not  use  a  jack  except  the  one  that
came with your vehicle.
l The  jack  should  not  be  used  for  any  pur-
pose other than to change a tyre.
l No one should be in your vehicle when us-
ing the jack.
l Do not start or run the engine while your
vehicle is on the jack.
l Do  not  turn  the  raised  wheel.  The  tyres
still  on  the  ground  could  turn  and  make
your vehicle fall off the jack. For emergencies

Operation under adverse driving
conditions E00801702140
If your vehicle becomes stuck in sand,
mud or snow
If  the  vehicle  becomes  stuck 
in  snow,  sand,  or
mud, it can often be moved with a rocking motion.
Move  the  selector  lever  alternately  between  the
“L”  (LOW)  and  “R”  (REVERSE)  position  (with
manual  transmission,  between  1 st
  and  Reverse),
while applying slight pressure to the accelerator ped-
al.
Avoid racing the engine or spinning the wheels. Pro-
longed  efforts  to  free  a  stuck  vehicle  may  result  in
overheating and transmission failure. Allow the en-
gine  to  idle  for  a  few  minutes  to  let  the  transmis-
sion cool between rocking attempts.
If the vehicle remains stuck after several rocking at-
tempts, seek other assistance. WARNING
l When attempting to rock your vehicle out
of  a  stuck  position, 
be 
sure  that  the  area
around  the  vehicle  is  clear  of  people  and
physical objects. The rocking motion may
cause  the  vehicle  to  suddenly  launch  for-
ward or backward, causing injury or dam-
age to nearby people or objects.
On 2WD vehicles, it is recommended to start the ve-
hicle  with parking 
brake partially, 
but not complete-
ly, applied by slightly pulling the parking brake lev-
er.
After  the  vehicle  has  become  free,  do  not  forget  to
release the parking brake. NOTE
l Depress the accelerator pedal gradually when
starting the vehicle.
On a flooded road l Avoid 
flooded  roads. 
Water  could 
enter  the
brake  discs,  resulting  in  temporarily  ineffec-
tive brakes. In such cases, lightly depress the
brake pedal to see if the brakes operate prop-
erly.  If  they  do  not,  lightly  depress  the  pedal
several  times  while  driving  in  order  to  dry
the brake pads.
l When driving in rain or on a road with many
puddles  a  layer  of  water  may  form  between
the tyres and the road surface.
This  reduces  a  tyre’s  frictional  resistance  on
the road, resulting in loss of steering stability
and braking capability.
 
To cope with this, observe the following items:
  (a) Drive your vehicle at slow speed.
  (b) Do  not  drive  on  worn  tyres.  Always maintain  the  specified  tyre  inflation
pressures.
On a snow-covered or frozen road l When 
driving  on  a  snow-covered 
or  frozen
road,  it  is  recommended  that  you  use  snow
tyres or tyre chains.
Refer to the “Snow tyres” and “Tyre chains”
sections.
l Avoid  high-speed  operation,  sudden  acceler-
ation, abrupt brake application and sharp cor-
nering. l
Depressing  the  brake  pedal 
during 
 travel  on
snowy  or  icy  roads  may  cause  tyre  slippage
and  skidding.  When  traction  between  the
tyres and the road is reduced the wheels may
skid  and  the  vehicle  cannot  readily  be
brought  to  a  stop  by  conventional  braking
techniques.  Braking  will  differ,  depending
upon  whether  you  have  anti-lock  brake  sys-
tem  (ABS).  If  you  do  have  ABS,  brake  by
pressing  the  brake  system  pedal  hard,  and
keeping  it  pressed.  If  you  do  not  have  ABS,
pump  the  brake  pedal  with  short  rapid  jabs,
each  time  fully  applying  and  fully  releasing
for greatest effect.
l Allow  extra  distance  between  your  vehicle
and the vehicle in front of you, and avoid sud-
den braking.
l Accumulation  of  ice  on  the  braking  system
can cause the wheels to lock. Pull away from
a  standstill  slowly  after  confirming  safety
around the vehicle. CAUTION
l
Do  not  press  the 
accelerator 
 pedal  rapid-
ly.  If  the  wheels  break  free  of  the  ice,  the
vehicle  could  suddenly  start  moving  and
possibly cause an accident.
On a bumpy or rutted road l Drive 
as  slow  as  possible 
when  driving  on
bumpy or rutted roads. For emergencies

The  catalytic  converter  itself  gets  hot  quickly,  and
may  be  damaged  if  overheated. 
The  following
points should be noted in order to prevent the igni-
tion of unburned fuel within the catalytic converter.
l Do not drive with an extremely low fuel lev-
el; 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  is  weak  or  dis-
charged,  use  another  battery  to  start  the  en-
gine.
l Do  not  idle  the  engine  for  prolonged  periods
during very rough idle or malfunctioning op-
erating conditions.
l Do  not  race  the  engine  when  turning  off  the
ignition  switch.  This  will  cause  the  catalytic
converter  to  be  damaged  due  to  contact  with
unburnt fuel.
l Stop driving the vehicle if you think the per-
formance  is  noticeably  low,  or  if  the  engine
has  a  malfunction  such  as  with  the  ignition,
etc.
If it is impractical to stop driving immediate-
ly,  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  engine
problems,  a  burnt  smell  may  indicate  severe
and abnormal catalyst overheating.
If  this  occurs,  the  vehicle  should  be  stopped
in  a  safe  place,  the  engine  switched  off  and
the  vehicle  allowed  to  cool.  Once  the  engine
is cool, a service, including a tune-up to man-
ufacturer’s specifications, should be obtained
immediately. Bonnet
E01000302281
To open
Pull the release lever  towards 
you to unlock the bon-
net. Raise the bonnet while pressing the safety lock.
NOTE
l 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.
Support  the  bonnet  by  inserting  the  support  bar  in
its slot. Maintenance
