vehicle, special care should be exercised
to the following points.
• Apply the parking brake and shift the
transmission lever to the
P
range before
starting the engine.
• The engine can also be started in the
N
range, but it is advisable to start the
engine in the
P
range.
• For safety reasons, the shifting mechanism
is constructed to ensure that the engine
cannot be started with the transmission
lever shifted to the
R
,
D
4
,

or
2
range.
• If the engine is stalled while the vehicle
is moving, restart it with the transmission
in the
N
range.
• The engine cannot be started by
pushing or towing the vehicle.
• Shift the transmission only when the
engine is idling. The vehicle may move
suddenly if the transmission is shifted to
the
R
,
D
4
,
3
or
2
range during high
engine speed.
• Shift the transmission from the
P

firmly depressed; otherwise the vehicle
may move suddenly.
The electronic fuel injection system
automatically controls the proper air-fuel
mixture for starting.

engine for a few minutes before driving.
Starting procedure
Precautions for automatic
transmission-equipped vehicle
The shift pattern is shown above.
Depress the clutch pedal fully when shifting.
If the gear will not shift easily, release and
depress the clutch pedal and try again.
The transmission is designed to ensure that
the shift lever cannot be shifted from the 5th
gear to the reverse gear directly. To shift from
the 5th gear to the reverse gear, first return the
shift lever to neutral, and then to the reverse
gear after the vehicle has completely stopped.
