If you press the engine switch without de-
pressing the brake pedal (A/T) or the clutch
pedal (M/T), you can change the operation
mode in the order of OFF, ACC, ON, OFF.
CAUTIONl When the engine is not running, put the op-
eration mode in OFF. Leaving the operation mode in ON or ACC for a long time when
the engine is not running may cause the bat- tery to be discharged, making it impossible
to start the engine, lock and unlock the steer- ing wheel.
l When the battery is disconnected, the cur-
rent operation mode is memorized. After re- connecting the battery, the memorized modeis selected automatically. Before disconnect-
ing the battery for repair or replacement,
make sure to put the operation mode in OFF. Be careful if you are not sure which opera-
tion mode the vehicle is in when the battery
is run down.
l The operation mode cannot be changed from
OFF to ACC or ON if the keyless operation
key is not detected to be in the vehicle. Refer
to “Keyless operation system: Operating range for starting the engine and changing
the operation mode” on page 3-09.
l When there is the keyless operation key in
the vehicle and the operation mode isn’t
change, the keyless operation key may have worn out.NOTEl If the operation mode cannot be changed to
OFF, perform the following procedure.NOTE1
. Move the selector lever to the “P”
(PARK) position, and then change
the operation mode to OFF. (For ve-
hicles with A/T)
2 . One of the other causes could be low
battery voltage. If this occurs, the
keyless entry system, keyless opera- tion function and steering lock will also not operate. Contact a

Tips for starting
Except for vehicles equipped with the keyless operation sys-
tem
l Do not operate the starter motor continu-
ously longer than 10 seconds; doing so
could run down the battery. If the engine
does not start, turn the ignition switch
back to “LOCK”, wait a few seconds,
and then try again. Trying repeatedly with the starter motor still turning 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.CAUTIONl Do not run the engine at high speeds or drive
the vehicle at high speeds until the engine
has had a chance to warm up.
l Release the ignition key as soon as the en-
gine starts to avoid damaging the starter mo- tor.
l If your vehicle is equipped with a turbo-
charger, do not stop the engine immediately
after high-speed or uphill driving. First al-
low the engine to idle to give the turbocharg-
er a chance to cool down.
For vehicles equipped with the
