2. While depressing the brake pedal on vehicles
equipped with CVT or the clutch pedal on
the vehicles equipped with manual transmis-
sion, press the accelerator pedal halfway and
hold it there, then crank the engine. Release
the accelerator pedal, immediately after the
engine starts.
3. If the engine still will not start, the engine
could be flooded with too much petrol.
While depressing the brake pedal on vehicles
equipped with CVT or the clutch pedal on
the vehicles equipped with manual transmis-
sion, push the accelerator pedal all the way
down and hold it there, then press the engine
switch to crank the engine. If the engine does
not start after 5 to 6 seconds, push the engine
switch to stop cranking the engine, and re-
lease the accelerator pedal. Put the operation
mode in OFF. Wait a few seconds, and then
press the engine switch to crank the engine
again while depressing the brake pedal or the
clutch pedal, but do not push the accelerator
pedal. If the engine fails to start, repeat these
procedures. If the engine still will not start,
we recommend you to have the vehicle
checked.
Stopping the engine
E00632700010
[For vehicles equipped with keyless operation sys-
tem]
WARNING
l Do not operate the engine switch while
driving except in an emergency. If the en-
gine is stopped while driving, the brake
servomechanism will cease to function
and braking efficiency will deteriorate. Al-
so, the power steering system will not func-
tion and it will require greater manual ef-
fort to operate the steering. This could re-
sult in a serious accident.
NOTE
l
If you have to bring the engine to an emergen-
cy stop while driving, press and hold the en-
gine switch for 3 seconds or more, or press it
quickly 3 times or more. The engine will
stop and the operation mode will go to ACC.
l Do not stop the engine with the selector lever
in any position other than the “P” (PARK) po-
sition (CVT). If the engine is stopped with
the selector lever in any position other than
the “P” (PARK) position, the operation
mode will go to ACC rather than OFF.
Put the operation mode in OFF after placing
the selector lever in the “P” (PARK) position.
1. Stop the vehicle.
2. Fully engage the parking brake while depress-
ing the brake pedal.
3. On vehicles with M/T, press the engine
switch to stop the engine, move the gearshift
lever to the 1
st
(on a uphill) or “R” (Reverse)
(on a downhill) position.
On vehicles with CVT, move the selector lev-
er to the “P” (PARK) position, press the en-
gine switch to stop the engine.
