CAUTION

Starting the gasoline engine

If the engine stalls while the vehicle

is in motion, do not attempt to move

the shift lever to the P (Park) posi-

tion. 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 posi-

tion in an attempt to restart the

engine.

WARNING

1. Make sure the parking brake is

applied.

Always wear appropriate shoes

when operating your vehicle.

Unsuitable shoes (high heels, ski

boots,etc.) may interfere with your

ability to use the brake, accelerator

pedal, and clutch (if equipped).

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.

CAUTION

Do not engage the starter for more

than 10 seconds. If the engine stalls

or fails to start, wait 5 to 10 seconds

before re-engaging the starter.

Improper use of the starter may

damage it.

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.

Starting and stopping the engine for tur-

bocharger intercooler

✽ NOTICE

Starting the diesel engine

If the engine does not start within 10

seconds after the preheating is complet-

ed, turn the ignition key once more to

the LOCK position for 10 seconds, and

then to the ON position, in order to pre-

heat again.

1. Do not race or accelerate the engine

immediately after starting it.

To start the diesel engine when the

engine is cold, it has to be pre-heated

before starting the engine and then has

to be warmed up before starting to drive.

If the engine is cold, idle it for several

seconds before sufficient lubrication is

ensured in the turbocharger unit.

1. Make sure the parking brake is

applied.

2. After high speed or extended driving,

requiring a heavy engine load, idle the

engine about 1 minute before turning it

off.

✽ NOTICE - Kick down mechanism

2. 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.

If your vehicle is equipped with a kick

down mechanism in an accelerator

pedal,it prevents you from driving at

full throttle unintentionally by making

the driver require increased effort to

depress the accelerator pedal. However

if you depress the pedal more than

approximately 80% the vehicle can be

full throttle and the accelerator pedal

will be easier to depress.This is not a

malfunction but a normal condition.

This idle time will allow the tur-

bocharger to cool prior to shutting the

engine off.

3. Turn the ignition switch

to the ON position to pre-

heat the engine. Then

CAUTION

W-60

the glow indicator light

will illuminate.

Do not turn the engine off immedi-

ately after it has been subjected to

a heavy load. Doing so may cause

severe damage to the engine or

turbo charger unit.

4. If the glow indicator light goes out, turn

the ignition switch to the START posi-

tion and hold it there until the engine

starts (a maximum of 10 seconds),

then release the key.
