Power seat adjustment (where fitted) WARNING
Never leave children or adults who would nor-
mally require the support of others alone in the
vehicle. Pets should not be left alone either. They
could unknowingly activate switches or controls,
or move the vehicle, and inadvertently become
involved in aserious accident and injure them-
selves. Operating tips:
• The power seat motor has an auto-reset over-
load protection circuit. If the motor stops during
the seat adjustment, wait 30 seconds, then reac-
tivate the switch.
• To avoid discharge of the battery, do not operate
the power seats for
along period of time when
the engine is not running. JVR0392XZ

THREE-POINT TYPE SEAT BELTS
Fastening seat belts WARNING
The seatback should not be in
areclined position
any more than needed for comfort. Seat belts are
most effective when the passenger sits well back
and straight up in the seat.
1. Adjust the seat. (See “Manual seat adjustment
(where fitted)” earlier in this section.)
2. Slowly pull the seat belt out of the retractor and insert the tongue into the buckle until you hear
and feel the latch engage.
• The retractor is designed to lock during a
sudden stop or on impact.
Aslow pulling
motion permits the seat belt to move, and
allows you some freedom of movement in
the seat. •
If the seat belt cannot be pulled from its
fully retracted position, firmly pull the belt
and release it. Then smoothly pull the belt
out of the retractor.
3. Position the lap belt portion low and snug on the hips as shown.
4. Pull the shoulder belt portion toward the retrac- tor to take up extra slack. Be sure the shoulder
belt is routed over your shoulder and is snug
across your chest. Shoulder belt height adjustment (for
front seats) WARNING
• The shoulder belt anchor height should be
adjusted to the position best for you. Failure
to do so may reduce the effectiveness of the
entire restraint system and increase the
chance or severity of injury in an accident.
• The shoulder belt should rest on the middle
of the shoulder. It must not rest against the
neck.
• Be sure that the seat belt is not twisted in any
way.
• Be sure that the shoulder belt anchor is se-
cured by trying to move the shoulder belt an-
chor up and down after adjustment.
To adjust, pull on the release button ➀and move
the shoulder belt anchor to the proper position ➁,
so that the belt passes over the centre of the shoul- SSS0292Z

HEADLIGHT AIMING CONTROL
(where fitted)
Manual type
The headlight aiming control operates when the ig- nition switch is in the ONand the headlight switch is
in the position to allow the headlight axis to be
adjusted according to the driving condition.
When driving with no heavy load/luggage or driving
on aflat road, select the normal position <0>.
If the number of occupants and load/luggage in the
vehicle changes, the headlight axis may become
higher than normal.
If the vehicle is travelling on ahilly road, the head-
lights may directly shine on the rearview and outside mirrors of avehicle ahead or the windscreen of an
oncoming vehicle, which may obscure another driv-
ers’ vision. To adjust to the proper aiming height, turn the switch
accordingly. The higher the number, designated on
the switch, the lower the headlight axis.
Automatic type
For vehicles fitted with an automatic levelling sys-
tem, the headlight axis is controlled automatically.
BATTERY SAVER SYSTEM
(where fitted)
The light reminder chime will sound if the headlight
switch is in either the or position and
when the driver’s door is opened with the ignition
switch in the ACC,OFForLOCK position.
If the ignition switch is placed in the OFForLOCK
position while the headlight switch is in the or
position, the battery saver function will turn off
the lights after aperiod of time to prevent the battery
from being discharged.
CAUTION
Do not leave the lights on when the engine is not
running for extended periods of time to prevent
the battery from being discharged. TURN SIGNAL SWITCH
CAUTION
The turn signal switch will not be cancelled auto-
matically if the steering wheel turning angle does
not exceed the preset amount. After the turn or
lane change, make sure that the turn signal
switch is returned to its original position.
Turn signal
To turn on the turn signals, move the lever up
➀or
down ➁to the point where the lever latches. When
the turn is completed, the turn signal cancels auto-
matically.
Lane change signal
To turn on the lane change signals, move the lever
up ➀ or down
➁to the point where the light be-
gins to flash.
If the lever is moved back to its original position right

The disc brake pads have audible wear warnings.
When
abrake pad requires replacement, it will make
ah igh pitched scraping sound when the vehicle is in
motion. This scraping sound will first occur only
when the brake pedal is depressed. After more wear
of the brake pad, the sound will always be heard
even if the brake pedal is not depressed. Have the
brakes checked as soon as possible if the wear
warning sound is heard.
Under some driving or climate conditions, occa-
sional brake squeaks, squeals or other noises may
be heard. Occasional brake noise during light to
moderate stops is normal and does not affect the
function or performance of the brake system.
The rear drum brakes do not have audible wear indi-
cators. Should you ever hear an unusually loud noise
from the rear drum brakes, have them checked as
soon as possible by an approved dealer or qualified
workshop.
Proper brake inspection intervals should be
followed. For additional information, see aseparate
maintenance booklet.
BRAKE BOOSTER
Check the brake booster function as follows:
1. With the engine off, depress and release the footbrake pedal several times. When the brake
pedal movement (distance of travel) remains the
same from one pedal application to the next, con-
tinue on to the next step. SDI1447AZ DI1020MMZ

2. While depressing the footbrake pedal, start the
engine. The pedal height should drop alittle.
3. With the footbrake pedal depressed, stop the engine. Keep the pedal depressed for about 30
seconds. The pedal height should not change.
4. Run the engine for 1minute without depressing
the footbrake pedal, then turn it off. Depress the
footbrake pedal several times. The pedal travel
distance will decrease gradually with each de-
pression as the vacuum is released from the
booster.
If the brakes do not operate properly, have the
brakes checked by an approved dealer or qualified
workshop. WARNING
• Use only new fluid from
asealed container.
Old, inferior, or contaminated fluid may dam-
age the brake system. The use of improper
fluids can damage the brake system and af-
fect the vehicle’s stopping ability.
• Clean the filler cap before removing.
• Brake fluid is poisonous and should be stored
carefully in marked containers out of the reach
of children.
CAUTION
• Refilling and checking the brake system
should be left to an approved dealer or quali-
fied workshop who will have the necessary
brake fluid and technical knowledge.
• Do not spill the fluid on painted surfaces. This
will damage the paint. If fluid is spilled, wash
with water.
For details of recommended fluids, refer to the main-
tenance service booklet for your vehicle. Check the fluid level in the reservoir. If the fluid is
below the MIN line
➁,t
he brake warning light will
illuminate. Add fluid up to the MAX line ➀.
If fluid must be added frequently, the system should
be thoroughly checked by your approved dealer or
qualified workshop. JVM0450XZ

•
Incorrect tyre selection, fitting, care or main-
tenance can affect vehicle safety with risk of
accident and injury. If in doubt, consult an
approved dealer or qualified workshop or the
tyre manufacturer.
TYRE WEAR AND DAMAGE
➀ :W
ear indicator
➁ :W
ear indicator location mark
Tyres should be periodically inspected for wear,
cracking, bulging or objects caught in the tread. If
excessive wear, cracks, bulging or deep cuts are
found, the tyre should be replaced immediately.
The original tyres have abuilt-in tread wear indica-
tor. When the wear indicator is visible, the tyre
should be replaced.
Improper service of aspare tyre may result in seri-
ous personal injury. If it is necessary to repair the
spare tyre, contact an approved dealer or qualified
workshop. TYRE AGE
Never use
atyre over six years old, regardless of
whether it has been used or not.
Tyres degrade with age as well as with the vehicle
usage. Have your tyres checked and balanced often
by arepair shop or, if you prefer, an approved dealer
or qualified workshop.
CHANGING TYRES AND WHEELS WARNING
Do not install
adeformed wheel or tyre even if it
has been repaired. Such wheels or tyres could
have structural damage and could fail without
warning.
When replacing atyre, use the same size, speed
rating and load carrying capacity as originally
equipped. (See “Tyres and wheels” in the “9. Tech-
nical information” section for recommended types
and sizes of tyres and wheels.) The use of tyres
other than those recommended or the mixed use of
tyres of different brands, construction (bias, bias-
belted, or radial), or tread patterns can adversely
affect the ride, braking, handling, ground clearance,
body-to-tyre clearance, snow chain clearance,
speedometer calibration, headlight aim and bumper
height. Some of these effects may lead to accidents
and could result in serious personal injury.
If the wheels are changed for any reason, always
replace with wheels which have the same offset
dimension. Wheels of adifferent offset could cause
early tyre wear, possibly degraded vehicle handling characteristics and/or interference with the brake
discs/drums. Such interference can lead to
decreased braking efficiency and/or early brake
pad/shoe wear.
WHEEL BALANCE
Unbalanced wheels may affect vehicle handling and
tyre life. Even with regular use, wheels can get out
of balance. Therefore, they should be balanced as
required.
SPARE TYRE
Conventional spare tyre (where fitted)
As tandard tyre (the same size as the road wheels)
is supplied with your vehicle.
Temporary spare tyre (where fitted)
The temporary spare tyre is adifferent size from the
road wheels.
Temporary spare tyres can be distinguished as fol-
lows:
—T yre and wheel size differs from the four mounted
tyres and wheels.
—T here is alabel in the wheel with aspeed limita-
tion.
In order to avoid malfunction adhere to the follow-
ing:
• Never drive at speeds above 80 km/h (50 MPH).
• Drive with special caution when
atemporary
spare wheel is mounted. SDI1663Z
