Tips for starting
l The operation mode can be in any mode
to start the engine.
l The starter motor will be turning for up
to approximately 15 seconds if the en-
gine switch is released at once. Pressing the engine switch again while the starter
motor is still turning will stop the starter motor. The starter motor will be turningfor up to approximately 30 seconds while the engine switch is pressed.
If the engine does not start, wait for a
while and then attempt to start the en- gine again. Trying repeatedly with the
starter motor still running will damage the starter mechanism.WARNINGl Never run the engine in a closed or poorly
ventilated area any longer than is needed
to move your vehicle in or out of the area. Carbon monoxide gases are odourless and can be fatal.CAUTIONl Never attempt to start the engine by pushing
or pulling the vehicle.
l Do not run the engine at high rpm or drive
the vehicle at high speed until the engine has had a chance to warm up.Starting the engine (petrol-pow-

On vehicles equipped with CVT, make
sure the selector lever is in the “P”
(PARK) position.Vehicles with M/TVehicles with CVT
NOTEl The engine can only be started when the se-
lector lever is in the “P” (PARK) or “N” (NEUTRAL) position (CVT).
For safety reasons, the engine should be star-
ted when the selector lever is in the “P” (PARK) position in which the driving
wheels lock.

7. Make sure that all warning lamps are
functioning properly.
NOTEl Minor noises may be heard on engine start-
up. These will disappear as the engine
warms up.
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 ( CVT)
or the clutch pedal ( M/T), press the ac-
celerator pedal halfway and hold it there, then crank the engine. Release the accel-erator pedal, immediately after the en-
gine starts.
3. If the engine still will not start, the en-
gine could be flooded with too much
petrol. While depressing the brake pedal (CVT ) or the clutch pedal ( M/T), push
the accelerator pedal all the way down and hold it there, then press the engine
switch to crank the engine. If the engine does not start after 5 to 6 seconds, push
the engine switch to stop cranking the
engine, and release the accelerator pedal. Put the operation mode in OFF. Wait a
few seconds, and then press the engine
switch to crank the engine again while
depressing the brake pedal ( CVT) or the
clutch pedal ( M/T), but do not push the
accelerator pedal. If the engine fails to

modes:
System preparation mode (ap- prox. 20 seconds)
(The buzzer sounds intermittently and the se-curity indicator (A) blinks.)
The system preparation time extends fromthe point at which all of the doors and the
tailgate are locked by pressing the LOCK
switch on the remote control switch or the
keyless operation function to the point at which the system armed mode goes into ef- fect.
During this time, it is possible to temporarily
open a door or the tailgate without using the
keyless entry system or the keyless operation function and without causing the alarm tosound (for example, when you forget some-
thing inside the vehicle or realize that a win- dow is open).
System armed mode
(The security indicator continues to blink with the indicator’s reduced lit-up duration
time.)
Once the system preparation mode has ended,
the system armed mode starts.
If an unlawful opening of any of the doors, tailgate or bonnet is detected during the sys-
tem armed mode, the alarm will be activated to warn people around the vehicle of an ab-
normal condition.
Also, if unlawful moving of the vehicle is at-
tempted or a vehicle intrusion is detected, the alarm will be activated.
Alarm activation
The turn-signal lamps blink and the siren sounds for approximately 30 seconds.
Refer to “Alarm activation” on page 3-38.
