CAUTION
l
If the engine is stopped while driving, the
brake servomechanism will cease to func-
tion and braking efficiency will deterio-
rate. Also, the power steering system will
not function and it will require greater
manual effort to operate the steering.
l
Do not leave the ignition switch in the
"ON" or "ACC" position for a long time
when the engine is not running, doing so
will cause the battery to be discharged.
l
Do not turn the ignition switch to the
"START" position when the engine is run-
ning, doing so could damage the starter
motor.

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.

Locking and unlocking
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.
