For information on operation for vehicles
equipped with the Free-hand Advanced Secu-

[Except for vehicles equipped with the
Free-hand Advanced Security Transmit-
ter (F.A.S.T.-key)]
 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 ignition switch back to the “OFF”
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
engine coolant temperature display starts
to move. Refer to “Interrupt display
screen (With ignition switch or operation
mode in ON)” on page 5-114.
This model is equipped with an electronically
controlled fuel injection system. This is a sys-
tem that automatically controls fuel injection.
There is usually no need to depress the accel-
erator pedal when starting the engine.
The starter 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. Insert the ignition key.
3. Make sure the parking brake is applied.
4. Press and hold the brake pedal down
firmly with your right foot.
5. Press and hold the clutch pedal all the way
down (manual transaxle).
CAUTION
 If the engine is stopped while driving, the
brake servomechanism will cease to function
and braking efficiency will deteriorate. Also,
the power steering system will not function
and it will require greater manual effort to
operate the steering.

Do not leave the key in the “ON” position for
a long time when the engine is not running,
doing so will cause the battery to be dis-
charged.
 Do not turn the key to the “START” position
when the engine is running, doing so could
damage the starter motor.

Tips for 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 ignition switch as soon as the
engine starts. Otherwise, the starter motor
will be damaged.
