SAFETY PRECAUTIONS (IV)
Starting the Engine
1. Turn the ignition key to the “ON” position and
wait until the glow indicator goes out. After then,
turn the ignition key to the
“START” position
and hold it until the engine starts.
2. Even if the engine does not start, do not hold
the ignition key at the
“START” position for
more than 10 seconds.
3. If the engine does not start, wait 10 seconds
before trying again.
4. If the engine fails to start, turn the key back to
the
“LOCK” position and wait for 10 seconds.
5. Do not turn the ignition key to the
“START”
position while the engine is running.
6. The engine in an automatic transmission
equipped vehicle can be started only when the
selector lever is at the
“P” or “N” position.
The engine in a manual transmission equipped
vehicle can be started only when the clutch
pedal is fully depressed.
7. Do not leave the ignition key at the “ON” or
“ACC” position when the engine is not
running. This could cause battery discharge.
Warming Up the Engine
1. Do not drive without warming up the engine. Driving immedi-
ately after starting the engine may decrease the engine’s life
expectancy. Warm up the engine before moving your vehicle.
2. Do not warm up the engine excessively. Warm up the engine just
until the coolant temperature gauge begins to move.
3. Excessive engine warming increases the fuel consumption
and air pollution. An optimized warming up time is approx. 2
minutes.
Do not accelerate the engine during the warming up period.
Driving the Automatic Transmission Equipped
Vehicle
1. Keep the brake pedal depressed and shift the gear selection
lever into the “-D+” position. Make sure that the “D1” light
is on the instrument cluster.
Drive off the vehicle by releasing the brake pedal slowly.
2. To avoid any possible damage to the automatic transmission,
do not abruptly drive off or accelerate the vehicle after shifting
the gear selection lever into the
“-D+” position. Especially
on a hill, move the lever to the
“-D+” position with the brake
pedal depressed and wait for a couple of seconds until the
position indicator of
“D1” is on the instrument cluster.
3. Your vehicle may move backward on a steep hill even if the
shift lever is engaged into the
“-D+” position. Therefore, al-
ways depress the brake pedal when you need to stop on such
a hill.
