ded in.
The lack of rearward visibility normally pro-
vided by the mirror could lead to an acci-
dent.

[Except for vehicles equipped with the
mirror retractor switch]
Push the mirror towards the back of the vehi-
cle with your hand to retract it in. When ex-
tending the mirror, pull it out towards the
front of the vehicle until it clicks to lock in

tend the mirrors using the mirror retractor
switch for about 30 seconds.

CAUTION

It is possible to retract and extend the mir-
rors by hand. After retracting a mirror using
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 re-
sult, it could move because of the wind or
vibration while you are driving, taking away
your rearward visibility.

NOTE

Be careful not to get your hands trapped
while a mirror is moving.

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
original position.

When freezing has occurred and mirrors fail
to operate as intended, please refrain from
repeated pushing of the retractor switch as
this action can result in burn-out of the mir-
ror motor circuits.

Fuel injection amount learning

process (diesel-powered 2200

models)

E00627901079

To keep exhaust emissions and engine noise
low, the engine very occasionally performs a
learning process for the fuel injection
amount.

Starting

6-16

OGAE18E1

Starting and driving

The engine sounds slightly different from
usual while the learning process is taking
place. The change in the engine sound does
not indicate a fault.

Diesel particulate filter
(DPF)*

E00619801330

The diesel particulate filter (DPF) is a device
that captures most of the particulate matter
(PM) in the exhaust emissions of the diesel
engine. The DPF automatically burns away
trapped PM during vehicle operation. Under
certain driving conditions, however, the DPF
is not able to burn away all of the trapped PM
and, as a result, an excessive amount of PM
accumulates inside it.

WARNING

The DPF reaches very high temperatures.
Do not park your vehicle in areas where
combustible materials such as dry grass
or leaves can come in contact with a hot
exhaust system since a fire could occur.

CAUTION

Do not use any type of fuel or engine oil that
is not specified for your vehicle. Also, do
not use any moisture-removing agent or oth-
er fuel additive. Such substances could have
a detrimental effect on the DPF.
Refer to “Fuel selection” on page 2-02 and
“Engine oil” on page 10-05.

NOTE

To minimize the likelihood of excessive ac-
cumulation of PM, try to avoid driving for
long periods at low speeds and repeatedly
driving short distances.

The engine sounds slightly different than
usual while the DPF automatically burns
away trapped PM. The change in the engine
sound does not indicate a fault.

DPF warning display

Type 1

Type 2

The DPF warning display illuminates in the
event of an abnormality in the DPF system.

If the DPF warning display il-

luminates during vehicle oper-

ation

Steady illumination of the DPF warning dis-
play shows that the DPF has not been able to
burn away all of the trapped PM and that, as
a result, an excessive amount of PM has ac-
cumulated inside it. To enable the DPF to
burn away the PM, try to drive the vehicle as
follows:
[Except for diesel-powered 1600 models]

Turbocharger operation*

E00611200083

CAUTION

Do not run the engine at high speeds (for ex-
ample, by revving it or by accelerating rap-
idly) immediately after starting it.

Do not stop the engine immediately after
high-speed or uphill driving. First allow the
engine to idle to give the turbocharger a
chance to cool down.

Turbocharger operation*

Turbocharger

The turbocharger increases engine power by
pushing large amounts of air into the engine’s
cylinders. The finned parts inside the turbo-
charger turn at extremely high speeds and are
subjected to extremely high temperatures.
They are lubricated and cooled by engine oil.
If the engine oil is not replaced at the speci-
fied intervals, the bearings may seize or emit
abnormal noise.
