Tips for starting
l
Do not operate the starter motor continuous-
ly longer than 10 seconds; doing so could
run down the battery. If the engine does not
start, turn the ignition switch back to
"LOCK", wait a few seconds, and then try
again.
Trying repeatedly with the starter motor still
turning will damage the starter mechanism.
l
After starting the engine in cold weather,
drive in a way that keeps the engine speed
low for the first few minutes or the bar graph
of the engine coolant temperature display
starts to move. Otherwise the engine opera-
tion may not rev smoothly and the vehicle
could jerk or surge while driving.
A longer warm up period will only consume
extra fuel.
l
[For vehicles equipped with Twin Clutch SST]
The following may occur after the engine is
started, but they do not indicate an abnormal-
ity.
• You may hear operational sounds of the
Twin Clutch SST and you may feel vibra-
tion in the vehicle body.
• If you shift the gearshift lever into the
"N" (NEUTRAL) position and depress
the accelerator pedal, increases in the en-
gine speed will be limited.
l
[Diesel-powered vehicles]
While the vehicle is stationary with the
clutch pedal fully depressed, the engine revo-
lutions do not rise to over 3,000 rpm in order
to protect the engine even if the accelerator
pedal is depressed.

WARNING
l
Never run the engine in a closed or poor-
ly ventilated area any longer than is nee-
ded to move your vehicle in or out of the
area. Carbon monoxide gases are odour-
less and can be fatal.
CAUTION
l
Never attempt to start the engine by push-
ing or pulling the vehicle.
l
Do not run the engine at high rpm or
drive the vehicle at high speed until the en-
gine has had a chance to warm up.
l
Release the ignition key as soon as the en-
gine starts to avoid damaging the starter
motor.
