Tips for starting
l
Do not operate the starter motor continuous-
ly longer than 10 seconds; doing so could
run down the battery. If the engine does not
start, turn the ignition switch back to
“LOCK”, wait a few seconds, and then try
again.
Trying repeatedly with the starter motor still
turning will damage the starter mechanism.
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
temperature display starts to move (the en-
gine speed decreases). Otherwise, the engine
will not rev smoothly and the vehicle will
move jerkily.
l
On vehicles equipped with the Twin Clutch
SST, the following may occur after the en-
gine is started, but they do not indicate an
abnormality.
• You may hear operational sounds of the
Twin Clutch SST and you may feel vi-
bration in the vehicle body.
• If you shift the gearshift lever into the
“N” (NEUTRAL) position and depress
the accelerator pedal, increases in the en-
gine speed will be limited.
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
pushing or pulling the vehicle.
l
Do not run the engine at high rpm or
drive the vehicle at high speed until the
engine has had a chance to warm up.
l
Release the ignition key as soon as the en-
gine starts to avoid damaging the starter
motor.
