l
After starting the engine in cold weather,
drive in a way that keeps the engine speed
low until the bar graph of engine coolant tem-
perature display starts to move (the engine
speed decreases). Otherwise, the engine will
not rev smoothly and the vehicle will move
jerkily.
l
On vehicles with Twin Clutch SST, even
when you depress the accelerator pedal sever-
al seconds after the engine is started and the
gearshift lever is in the “N” (NEUTRAL) po-
sition, the engine may not rev up.
WARNING
l
Never run the engine in a closed or poor-
ly ventilated area any longer than is nee-
ded to move your vehicle in or out of the
area. Carbon monoxide gases are odour-
less and can be fatal.
CAUTION
l
Never attempt to start the engine by push-
ing or pulling the vehicle. Especially the
Twin Clutch SST, since the structure is
different from a M/T it is not possible to
start the engine by using this technique.
Never attempt this or it could damage the
Twin Clutch SST.
l
Do not run the engine at high rpm or
drive the vehicle at high speed until the en-
gine has had a chance to warm up.
l
Release the emergency key as soon as the
engine starts to avoid damaging the start-
er motor.
