Turn the emergency key to the “LOCK” posi-
tion.
Turn the steering wheel until it is locked.
Turn the emergency key to the “ACC” posi-
tion while moving the steering wheel slightly.
Tips for starting
 Do not operate the starter motor continu-
ously for longer than 15 seconds as this
could run the battery down or damage the
starter motor. If the engine does not start,
turn the emergency key back to the
“LOCK” position, wait a few seconds,
and then try again. Trying repeatedly with
the engine or starter motor still turning
will damage the starter mechanism.
 If the engine will not start because the bat-
tery is weak or discharged, refer to
“Jump-starting the engine” on page 8-2
for instructions.
 A longer warm up period will only con-
sume extra fuel. The engine is warmed up
enough for driving when the bar graph of
the engine coolant temperature display
starts to move. Refer to “Interrupt display
screen (With ignition switch in the “ON”
position)” on page 5-101.
Starting the engine
Your vehicle is equipped with an electroni-
cally controlled fuel injection system. This is
a system that automatically controls the fuel
injection. There is no need to depress the
accelerator pedal when starting the engine.
The starter motor should not be run for more
than 15 seconds at a time.
To prevent battery drain, wait a few seconds
between attempts to restart the engine.
1. Make sure all occupants are properly
seated with seat belts fastened.
2. Make sure the parking brake is applied.
3. While pushing the lock release buttons
(A), remove the cover of the ignition
switch.

CAUTION
 Remove the emergency key when leaving the
vehicle.
 If your vehicle needs to be towed, turn the
emergency key to the “ACC” position to
unlock the steering wheel.
NOTE
 If the front wheels are turned, the anti-theft
lock may sometimes make it difficult to turn
the emergency key from “LOCK” to “ACC”.
Firmly turn the steering wheel to the left or
to the right as you turn the emergency key.
Starting
WARNING

Never run the engine in a closed or poorly
ventilated area any longer than is needed
to move your vehicle out of the area. Car-
bon monoxide gas, which is odorless and
extremely poisonous, could build up and
cause serious injury or death.
CAUTION
 Do not push-start the vehicle.
 Do not run the engine at high rpms or drive
at high speeds until the engine has had a
chance to warm up.
 Release the emergency key as soon as the
engine starts. It will damage the starter
motor.
CAUTION
