2-1. Driving procedures
CAUTION
■
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.
■
Caution while driving
Do not turn the engine switch to the “LOCK” position while driving. If, in an
emergency, you must turn the engine off while the vehicle is moving, turn the
engine switch only to the “ACC” position to stop the engine. An accident may
result if the engine is stopped while driving.
NOTICE
■
To prevent battery discharge
Do not leave the engine switch in the “ACC” or “ON” position for long periods
of time without the engine running.
■
When starting the engine
●
Do not crank the engine for more than 30 seconds at a time. This may
overheat the starter and wiring systems.
●
Do not race a cold engine.
●
If the engine becomes difficult to start or stalls frequently, have the engine
checked immediately.
