Immediately after reconnecting the battery terminals due to replacing
the battery and so forth
The engine may not start. If this occurs, turn the push-button ignition switch
to “ON” mode, and start the engine after waiting at least 10 seconds. Idling
may be unstable immediately after the engine starts, however, this is not a
malfunction.
WARNING
■
When starting the engine
●
Always start the engine while sitting in the driver’s seat. Do not depress
the accelerator pedal while starting the engine under any circumstances.
Doing so may cause an accident resulting in death or serious injury.
●
If the keyless access with push button start system indicator light flashes
in green after the engine has started, never drive the vehicle. The steering
wheel is still locked, and it may result in an accident.
■
Caution while driving
If engine failure occurs while the vehicle is moving, do not lock or open the
doors until the vehicle reaches a safe and complete stop. Activation of the
steering lock in this circumstance may lead to an accident, resulting in death
or serious injury.
■
Stopping the engine
Do not touch the push-button ignition switch during driving.
When the push-button ignition switch is pressed for 2 seconds or longer or
pressed 3 times successively, the engine will stop. When the engine stops,
the brake booster will not function. A greater foot pressure will be required
on the brake pedal.
The power steering system will not operate either. A greater force will be
required to steer, and it may result in an accident.
