3-1. Start/Stop Engine  
Push Button Start Positions  
The engine starts by pressing the push button start while depressing the  
clutch pedal (manual transaxle) or the brake pedal (automatic transaxle). To  
switch the ignition position, press the push button start without depressing  
the pedal.  
Do not leave the ignition switched ON while the engine is not running. Doing  
so could result in the battery going dead. If the ignition is left in ACC (For  
automatic transaxle, the selector lever is in the P position, and the ignition is  
in ACC), the ignition switches off automatically after about 25 minutes.  
ACC (Accessory)  
The keyless entry system does not function while the push button start has  
been pressed to ACC, and the doors will not lock/unlock even if they have  
been locked manually.

ON  
When the push button start is pressed to ON, the sound of the fuel pump  
motor operating near the fuel tank can be heard. This does not indicate an  
abnormality.  
WARNING  
Before leaving the driver’s seat, set the parking brake, make sure the  
selector lever is in 1st gear or R (manual transaxle) or in P (automatic  
transaxle), and always switch the ignition off  
Leaving the driver’s seat without setting the parking brake, shifting the  
selector lever to 1st gear or R (manual transaxle) or to P (automatic tran-  
saxle), and switching the ignition off is dangerous. Unexpected vehicle  
movement could occur which could result in an accident.  
In addition, if your intention is to leave the vehicle for even a short period, it  
is important to switch the ignition off, as leaving it in another position will dis-  
able some of the vehicle’s security systems and run the battery down.
