pedal (automatic transaxle). To switch
the ignition position, press the push
button start without depressing the
pedal.
 


y Do not leave the ignition switched ON
while the engine is not running. Doing
so could result in the battery going
dead. If the ignition is left in ACC (For

is in the P position, and the ignition
is in ACC), the ignition switches off
automatically after about 25 minutes. off
The power supply to electrical devices
turns off and the push button start indicator

lever to P (automatic transaxle) or
to 1st gear or R (manual transaxle)
is dangerous. Unexpected vehicle
movement could occur which could
result in an accident.
In addition, if your intention is to leave
the vehicle for even a short period, it
is important to switch the ignition off ,
as leaving it in another position will
disable some of the vehicle's security
