Driving your vehicle
10 6
Key positions
throttle unintentionally by making the
driver require increased effort to
depress the accelerator pedal. However,
if you depress the pedal more than
approximately 80%, the vehicle can be
at full throttle and the accelerator pedal
will be easier to depress. This is not a
malfunction but a normal condition.
Starting the petrol engine
1. Make sure the parking brake is
applied.
2. Manual Transmission - Depress the
clutch pedal fully and shift the trans
-
mission into Neutral. Keep the clutch
pedal and brake pedal depressed
whilst turning the ignition switch to
the start position.
Automatic Transmission / Dual
cluth transmission
- Place the trans
-
mission shift lever in P (Park). Depress
the brake pedal fully.
You can also start the engine when
the shift level is in the N (Neutral)
position.
3. Turn the ignition switch to START and
hold it there until the engine starts (a
maximum of 10 seconds), then
release the key.
It should be started without depressing
the accelerator pedal.
4. Do not wait for the engine to warm up
whilst the vehicle remains stationary.
Start driving at moderate engine
speeds. (Steep accelerating and
decelerating should be avoided.)
NOTICE
If the engine does not start within 10sec
-
onds after the preheating is completed,
turn the ignition key once more to the
LOCK position for 10 seconds, and then
to the ON position, in order to preheat
again.
Starting and stopping the engine
for turbocharger intercooler
1. Do not race or accelerate the engine
immediately after starting. If the
engine is cold, idle for several seconds
before sufficient lubrication is
ensured in the turbocharger unit.
2. After high speed or extended driving,
requiring a heavy engine load, idle the
engine about 1 minute before turning
it off.
This idle time will allow the turbo
-
charger to cool prior to shutting the
engine off.
CAUTION
Do not turn the engine off immediately
after it has been subjected to a heavy
load. Doing so may cause severe dam
-
age to the engine or turbocharger unit.
CAUTION
If the engine stalls whilst you are in
motion, do not attempt to move the shift
lever to the P (Park) position. If traffic
and road conditions permit, you may put
the shift lever in the N (Neutral) position
whilst the vehicle is still moving and turn
the ignition switch to the START position
in an attempt to restart the engine.
CAUTION
僅 Do not engage the starter for more
than 10 seconds. If the engine stalls or
fails to start, wait 5 to 10 seconds
before reengaging the starter.
Improper use of the starter may dam
-
age it.
