Driving your vehicle

Starting the engine with an igni-

tion key (if equipped)

1. Make sure the parking brake is

applied.

2. Manual Transaxle - Depress the

clutch pedal fully and shift the

transaxle into Neutral. Keep the clutch

pedal and brake pedal depressed

while turning the ignition switch to the

start position.

Automatic Transaxle - Place the

transaxle shift lever in P (Park).

Depress the brake pedal fully.

You can also start the engine when

the shift lever is in the N (Neutral)

position.

3. Turn the ignition switch to START and

hold it there until the engine starts (a

maximum of 10 seconds), then

release the key.

4. In extremely cold weather (below

-18°C / 0°F) or after the vehicle has

not been operated for several days, let

the engine warm up without depress-

ing the accelerator.

Whether the engine is cold or warm, it

should be started without depressing

the accelerator.

If the engine stalls while the vehicle is in

motion, do not attempt to move the shift

lever to the P (Park) position. If traffic and

road conditions permit, you may put the

shift lever in the N (Neutral) position

while the vehicle is still moving and turn

the ignition switch to the START position

in an attempt to restart the engine.

than 10 seconds. If the engine stalls

or fails to start, wait 5 to 10 seconds
