For information on operation for vehicles

 Do not operate the starter motor continu-
ously for longer than 15 seconds as this
could run the battery down or damage the
starter motor. If the engine does not start,
turn the ignition switch back to the “OFF”
or “LOCK” position, wait a few seconds,
and then try again. Trying repeatedly with
the engine or starter motor still turning
will damage the starter mechanism.
 If the engine will not start because the bat-
tery is weak or discharged, refer to
“Jump-starting the engine” (on page 8-2)
for instructions.
 A longer warm up period will only con-
sume extra fuel. The engine is warmed up
enough for driving when the bar graph of
engine coolant temperature display starts
to move or the low coolant temperature
indicator goes out. Refer to “Engine cool-
ant temperature display” on page 5-171 or
“Low coolant temperature indicator” on
page 5-215.
This model is equipped with an electronically
controlled fuel injection system. This is a sys-
tem that automatically controls fuel injection.
There is usually no need to depress the accel-
erator pedal when starting the engine.
The starter should not be run for more than 15
seconds at a time.
To prevent battery drain, wait a few seconds
between attempts to restart the engine.
1. Make sure all occupants are properly
seated with seat belts fastened.
2. Insert the ignition key.
3. Press and hold the brake pedal down with
your right foot.
4. Make sure the selector lever is in the “P”
(PARK) position.
NOTE
 If the front wheels are turned, the anti-theft
lock may sometimes make it difficult to turn
the key from “LOCK” to “ACC”. Firmly
turn the steering wheel to the left or to the
right as you turn the key.

Tips for starting
WARNING
 Never run the engine in a closed or poorly
ventilated area any longer than is needed
to move your vehicle out of the area. Car-
bon monoxide gas, which is odorless and
extremely poisonous, could build up and
cause serious injury or death.
CAUTION
 Do not push-start the vehicle.
 Do not run the engine at high rpms or drive
at high speeds until the engine has had a
chance to warm up.
 Release the ignition switch as soon as the
engine starts. Otherwise, the starter motor
will be damaged
