Starting the engine
Do not allow the engine to run in enclosed
spaces; otherwise inhalation of the nox-
ious exhaust gases can lead to unconsciousness
and death. Exhaust gases contain carbon mon-
oxide, an odorless and colorless, but highly toxic
gas. Never leave an unattended vehicle with the
engine running, otherwise such a vehicle repre-
sents a potential safety hazard.
Before leaving the car with the engine running,
place the transmission in idle or move the selec-
tor lever to position P and forcefully apply the
parking brake to prevent the car from moving.

When starting the engine, do not depress the
accelerator pedal.
Do not let the engine warm up with the vehicle
at a standstill. Move off immediately at a moder-
ate engine speed.
The engine is started immediately when
you briefly press the start/stop button and
depress the brake if the car has automatic trans-
mission, or the clutch if the car has manual
transmission. Do not depress either the brake or
the clutch until you are ready to start the
engine.

alytic converter.
