Starting and stopping the en-
gine
Tips for starting
z The operation mode can be in any mode
to start the engine.
z 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 turning for 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.
:ARN,NGz 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.

CAUT,ONzNever attempt to start the engine by pushing
or pulling the vehicle.
z 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
The starting procedure is as follows:
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.
NOTEz After the engine has not started for a while,
the brake pedal effort needed to start the en- gine may become greater.
If this occurs, depress the brake pedal more
firmly than usual.
4. Fully depress the clutch pedal (M/T).
5. On vehicles equipped with M/T, place
the gearshift lever in the “N” (Neutral) position.
On vehicles equipped with CVT, make
sure the selector lever is in the “P”
(PARK) position.NOTEz 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.
6. Press the engine switch.
7. Make sure that all warning lamps are
functioning properly.
NOTEz 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
start, repeat these procedures. If the en-
gine still will not start, we recommend you to have the vehicle checked.
Using the MIVEC engine*
The MIVEC engine automatically controls valve timing in accordance with driving con-
ditions for maximum engine performance.
Stopping the engine:ARN,NGz Do not operate the engine switch while
driving except in an emergency. If the en-
gine is stopped while driving, the brake servomechanism will cease to function and braking efficiency will deteriorate.
Also, the power steering system will not function and it will require greater man- ual effort to operate the steering. This
could result in a serious accident.NOTEz If you have to bring the engine to an emer-
gency stop while driving, press and hold the engine switch for 3 seconds or more, or
press it quickly 3 times or more. The engine will stop and the operation mode will go to ACC.
z Do not stop the engine with the selector lev-
er in any position other than the “P” (PARK) position (or CVT). If the engine is stopped
with the selector lever in any position other
than the “P” (Park) position, the operation mode will go to ACC rather than OFF.
Put the operation mode in OFF after placing the selector lever in the “P” (Park) position.
1. Stop the vehicle.
2. Fully engage the parking brake while de-
pressing the brake pedal.
3. On vehicles with M/T, press the engine
switch to stop the engine, move the gear-
shift lever to the 1 st
(on an uphill) or “R”
(Reverse) (on a downhill) position. On vehicles with CVT, move the selec-
tor lever to the “P” (PARK) position,
press the engine switch to stop the en- gine.If the keyless operation key is
not operating properly
Insert the keyless operation key into the key
slot in the glove box. Starting the engine and changing the operation mode should now be
possible.
