Perform the necessary procedures (see
“Warning lights And Messages” paragraph in
“Getting To Know Your Instrument Panel”
chapter).
Regarding Ice Breaker
When the ambient temperature is low, the
start of cranking may be delayed after engine
starting procedure is performed. At this time,
the Cold Start Disable Indicator light in the
instrument cluster illumintes. However, this
does not indicate a problem.
Refer to your authorized dealer regarding
other related parts which are to be input such
as function name, operating scenario (condi
-
tion) of each function, indicator operation,
and user operation/procedure information.
Extended Park Starting
NOTE:
Extended Park condition occurs when the
vehicle has not been started or driven for at
least 30 days.
1. Install a battery charger or jumper cables
to the battery to ensure a full battery
charge during the crank cycle.
2. Place the ignition in the START mode
and release it when the engine starts.
3. If the engine fails to start within 10
seconds, place the ignition in the STOP
(OFF/LOCK) mode, wait five seconds to
allow the starter to cool, then repeat the
Extended Park Starting procedure.
4. If the engine fails to start after eight
attempts, allow the starter to cool for at
least 10
minutes, then repeat the proce
-
dure.
After Starting — Warming Up The Engine
Proceed as follows:
1. Travel slowly, letting the engine run at a
reduced RPM, without accelerating
suddenly.
2. It is recommended to wait until the
digital engine coolant temperature indi
-
cator starts moving before demanding
full performance.
Stopping The Engine
Proceed as follows:
1. Park the car in a position that is not
dangerous for oncoming traffic, if
equipped with manual transmission
place gear selector in FIRST (1st) or
REVERSE (R) gear, if equipped with
automatic transmission place the gear
selector to PARK (P).
2. Push and release the ignition button to
STOP the engine.
BRAKE SYSTEM
This vehicle has power-assisted brakes that
adjust automatically through normal use.
Should power-assist fail, you can stop by
applying greater force than normal to the
brake pedal. But the distance required to
stop will be greater than usual.
NOTE:
Always depress the brake pedal with the right
foot. Applying the brakes with the unaccus
-
tomed left foot could slow your reaction time
to an emergency situation resulting in insuf
-
ficient braking operation.
CAUTION!
To prevent damage to the starter, do not
crank continuously for more than 10 seconds
at a time. Wait 10 to 15 seconds before
trying again.
