General precautions when starting/
stopping engine
WARNING
.
Never start the engine from out-
side the vehicle. It may result in
an accident.
.
Do not leave the engine running
in locations with poor ventilation,
such as a garage and indoors.
The exhaust gas may enter the
vehicle or indoors, and it may
result in carbon monoxide poi-
soning.
.
Do not start the engine near dry
foliage, paper, or other flam-
mable substances. The exhaust
pipe and exhaust emissions can
create a fire hazard at high
temperatures.
CAUTION
.
Do not stop the engine during
driving. Otherwise, the catalyst
may overheat and burn.
.
When starting the engine, be sure
to sit in the driver
’
s seat.
NOTE
.
Avoid rapid racing and rapid accel-
eration immediately after the engine
has started.
.
For a short time after the engine has
started, the engine speed is kept high.
When the warm-up is completed, the
engine speed lowers automatically.
.
On rare occasions, it may be difficult
to start the engine depending on the
fuel and the usage condition (repeated
driving of a distance in which the
engine has not warmed up sufficiently).
In such a case, it is recommended that
you change to a different brand of fuel.
.
On rare occasions, transient knock-
ing may be heard from the engine when
the accelerator is operated rapidly
such as a rapid start-up and a rapid
acceleration. This is not a malfunction.
.
The engine starts more easily when
the headlights, air conditioner and rear
window defogger are turned off.
.
After the engine starts, the engine
speed will be kept high until the engine
has warmed up sufficiently.
