Vehicles with M/T Vehicles with CVT
NOTE
l
On vehicles with CVT, the starter will not
operate unless the selector lever is in the “P”
(PARK) or “N” (NEUTRAL) position.
For safety reasons, start the engine in the
“P” (Park) position so that the wheels are
locked.
6. After turning the ignition key to the
“ON” position, make certain that all
warning lamps are functioning properly
before starting the engine.
7. Turn the ignition key to the “START”
position without depressing the accelera-
tor pedal, and release it when the engine
starts.
NOTE
l
Minor noises may be heard on engine start-
up. These will disappear as the engine
warms up.

If you replace the battery, it needs more time
to start the engine shortly after the battery
replacement.
When it is difficult to start the
engine
After several attempts, you may experience
that the engine still does not start.
1. Make sure that all electric devices, such
as lamps, air conditioning blower and
rear window demister, are turned off.
2. While depressing the brake pedal on ve-
hicles equipped with CVT or the clutch
pedal on vehicles equipped with M/T,
press the accelerator pedal halfway and
hold it there, then crank the engine. Re-
lease the accelerator pedal, immediately
after the engine starts.
3. If the engine still will not start, the en-
gine could be flooded with too much
petrol. While depressing the brake pedal
on vehicles equipped with CVT or the
clutch pedal on vehicles equipped with
M/T, push the accelerator pedal all the
way down and hold it there, then crank
the engine for 5 to 6 seconds. Return the
ignition switch to the “LOCK” position
and release the accelerator pedal. Wait a
few seconds, and then crank the engine
again for 5 to 6 seconds while depress-
ing the brake pedal or the clutch pedal,
but do not push the accelerator pedal.
Release the ignition switch if the engine
starts. If the engine fails to start, repeat
these procedures. If the engine still will
not start, we recommend you to have the
vehicle checked.
On vehicles equipped with the keyless op-
eration system
1. Fasten the seat belt.
2. Make sure the parking brake is applied.
3. Press and hold the brake pedal down
firmly with your right foot.
