Tips for startingDo not operate the starter motor for longer than 15 sec-
onds as this could run the battery down or damage the
starter motor. If the engine does not start, turn the ignition
switch back to the “LOCK” position, wait a few seconds,
and then try again. Trying repeatedly with the engine or
starter motor still turning will damage the starter mecha-
nism.
If the engine will not start because the battery is weak or
discharged, refer to “Jump-starting the engine” on page 6-
2 for instructions.
A longer warm up period will only consume extra fuel.
The engine is warmed up enough for driving when the bar
graph of the engine coolant temperature display starts to
move. Refer to “Interrupt display screen (With ignition
switch in the “ON” position)” on page 3-195.
On vehicles equipped with the Twin Clutch SST, the fol-
lowing may occur after the engine is started, but they do
not indicate an abnormality.
• You may hear operational sounds of the Twin Clutch
SST and you may feel vibration in the vehicle body.
CAUTION
!Carry the key with you when leaving the vehicle.If your vehicle needs to be towed, turn the ignition
switch to the “ACC” position to unlock the steering
wheel.

Tips for starting
Do not operate the starter motor continuously for longer
than 15 seconds as this could run the battery down or
damage the starter motor. If the engine does not start, turn
the emergency key back to the “LOCK” position, wait a
few seconds, and then try again. Trying repeatedly with
the engine or starter motor still turning will damage the
starter mechanism.
If the engine will not start because the battery is weak or
discharged, refer to “Jump-starting the engine” on page 6-
2 for instructions.

switch in the “ON” position)” on page 3-195.
On vehicles equipped with the Twin Clutch SST, the fol-
lowing may occur after the engine is started, but they do
not indicate an abnormality.
• You may hear operational sounds of the Twin Clutch
SST and you may feel vibration in the vehicle body.
• If you shift the gearshift lever into the “N” (NEUTRAL)
position and depress the accelerator pedal, increases in
the engine speed will be limited.Starting the engine
Your vehicle is equipped with an electronically controlled fuel
injection system. This is a system that automatically controls
the fuel injection. There is no need to depress the accelerator
pedal when starting the engine.
The starter motor should not be run for more than 15 seconds at
a time.
To prevent battery drain, wait a few seconds between attempts
to restart the engine.
WA R N I N G
!Never run the engine in a closed or poorly ventilated
area any longer than is needed to move your vehicle
out of the area. Carbon monoxide gas, which is
odorless and extremely poisonous, could build up
and cause serious injury or death.
CAUTION
!Do not push-start the vehicle.Do not run the engine at high rpms or drive at high
speeds until the engine has had a chance to warm
up.Release the emergency key as soon as the engine
starts. It will damage the starter motor.

[Except for vehicles equipped with the turbocharger]
The engine is warmed up enough for driving when the bar
graph of engine coolant temperature display starts to
move. A longer warm up period will only consume extra
fuel.
[For vehicles equipped with the turbocharger]
The engine is warmed up enough for driving when the bar
graph of engine coolant temperature display starts to
move. Driving before the bar graph moves may cause
deterioration of turbocharger performance and driveabil-
ity. A longer warm up period will only consume extra
fuel.
On vehicles equipped with the Twin Clutch SST, the fol-
lowing may occur after the engine is started, but they do
not indicate an abnormality.
• You may hear operational sounds of the Twin Clutch

3 Turbocharger operation
(if so equipped)
N00537300051
TurbochargerThe turbocharger increases engine power by pushing large
amounts of air into the engine’s cylinders. The finned parts
inside the turbocharger turn at extremely high speeds and are
subjected to extremely high temperatures. They are lubricated
by engine oil and cooled by engine oil and coolant. If the
engine oil is not replaced at the specified intervals, the bearings
may seize or emit abnormal noise.
CAUTION
!Do not run the engine at high speeds (for example,
by revving it or by accelerating rapidly) immedi-
ately after starting it.Do not stop the engine immediately after high-speed
or uphill driving. First allow the engine to idle to
give the turbocharger a chance to cool down.Engine oil must be properly maintained to avoid
engine and/or turbocharger damage. To better pro-
tect your engine and turbocharger, use fully syn-
thetic engine oil.

Moving out of mudSet the drive mode-selector to “4WD LOCK” and then gradu-
ally depress the accelerator pedal for a smooth start.
Keep the pressure on the accelerator pedal as constant as possi-
ble, and drive at low speed.
NOTEAvoid sudden braking, sudden acceleration and sharp
turning; such operations could result in the vehicle
becoming stuck.
If the vehicle becomes stuck in muddy roads, it can often
be moved with a rocking motion. Move the selector lever
alternately between “D” (DRIVE) and “R” (REVERSE)
positions, while pressing lightly on the accelerator pedal.Climbing/descending sharp gradesYour vehicle may not provide sufficient hill climbing ability
and engine braking on steep slopes. Avoid driving on steep
slopes even though the vehicle is a 4-wheel drive vehicle.
CAUTION
!If any of the following conditions occur, follow these
procedures:
• The engine coolant temperature display
appears on the information screen in the multi-
information display or the engine power drops
suddenly.
Refer to “Engine overheating” on page 6-5.
• The “ ” warning display or the “ ” warning
display appear on the information screen in the
multi-information display.
Refer to “Warning display” on page 3-104.WA R N I N G
!When attempting to rock your vehicle out of a stuck
position, be sure that the area around the vehicle is
clear of people and physical objects. The rocking
motion may cause the vehicle to suddenly launch
forward/backward, causing injury or damage to
nearby people or objects.

For further details, refer to “Odometer/Trip odometer” on page
3-185.Service reminderShows the distance and number of months until the next peri-
odic inspection.
Refer to “Service reminder” on page 3-199.Engine coolant temperature displayShows the engine coolant temperature.
If the coolant becomes hot, “ ” will blink.
Pay careful attention to the engine coolant temperature display
while you are driving.
Driving range displayShows the approximate driving range (how many more miles
or kilometers you can drive) with the current fuel level. When
this driving range falls below 30 miles (50 km), “---” is dis-
played.
Refuel as soon as possible.NOTEThe driving range is determined based on the fuel con-
sumption data. This may vary depending on the driving
conditions and habits. Treat the distance displayed as just
a rough guideline.
When you refuel, the driving range display is automati-
cally updated.
However, if you only add a small amount of fuel, the cor-
rect value will not be displayed. Fill to a full tank when-
ever possible.
When your vehicle is stopped on an extremely steep hill,
the driving range value may change. This is due to the
movement of fuel in the tank and does not indicate any
problem.
The display setting can be changed to the preferred units
(miles or km).
Refer to “Changing the function settings (With ignition
switch in the “ON” position)” on page 3-202.
