SAFETY PRECAUTIONS (IV)
Starting the Engine
1. Turn the ignition key to the
“ON”
position and wait
until the glow indicator goes out. After then, turn the ig-
nition key to the
“START”
position and hold it until
the engine starts.
2. Even if the engine does not start, do not hold the igni-
tion key at the
“START”
position for more than 10
seconds.
3. If the engine does not start, wait 10 seconds before try-
ing again.
4. If the engine fails to start, turn the key back to the
“LOCK”
position and wait for 10 seconds.
5. Do not turn the ignition key to the
“START”
position
while the engine is running.
6. The engine in an automatic transmission equipped ve-
hicle can be started only when the selector lever is at
the
“P”
or
“N”
position.
The engine in a manual transmission equipped vehicle
can be started only when the clutch pedal is fully
depressed.
7. Do not leave the ignition key at the
“ON”
or
“ACC”
position when the engine is not running. This could
cause battery discharge.
Warming Up the Engine
1. Do not drive without warming up the engine. Driving im-
mediately after starting the engine may decrease the
engine’s life expectancy. Warm up the engine before
moving your vehicle.
2. Do not warm up the engine excessively. Warm up the en-
gine just until the coolant temperature gauge begins to move.
3. Excessive engine warming increases the fuel con-
sumption and air pollution. An optimized warming up
time is approx. 2 minutes.
Do not accelerate the engine during the warming up period.
Driving the Automatic Transmission
Equipped Vehicle
1. Keep the brake pedal depressed and shift the gear se-
lection lever into the
“D”
position. Make sure that the
“D”
light is on the instrument cluster.
Drive off the vehicle by releasing the brake pedal slowly.
2. To avoid any possible damage to the automatic
transmission, do not abruptly drive off or accelerate
the vehicle after shifting the gear selection lever into
the
“D”
position. Especially on a hill, move the lever
to the
“D”
position with the brake pedal depressed
and wait for a couple of seconds until the position indi-
cator of
“D”
is on the instrument cluster.
3. Your vehicle may move backward on a steep hill even
if the shift lever is engaged into the
“D”
position.
Therefore, always depress the brake pedal when you
need to stop on such a hill.
