the steering wheel slightly.
NOTE

ing wheel to the left or to the right as you turn the ignition
switch.Starting

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 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 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.

[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.
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.

5. On vehicles equipped with manual transaxle, place the
gearshift lever in the “N” (Neutral) position.
On vehicles equipped with continuously variable trans-
mission (CVT) or Twin Clutch SST, make sure the selec-
tor lever (CVT) or the gearshift lever (Twin Clutch SST)
is in the “P” (PARK) position.NOTE
On vehicles equipped with CVT, the starter will not oper-
ate unless the selector lever is in the “P” (PARK) or “N”
(NEUTRAL) position.
On vehicles equipped with Twin Clutch SST, the starter
will not operate unless the gearshift lever is in the “P”
(PARK) position or the gearshift lever is in the “N”
(NEUTRAL) position with the brake pedal depressed.
For safety reasons, start the engine in the “P” (PARK)
position so that the wheels are locked.
6. While pushing the ignition switch from “LOCK” (PUSH
OFF) to “LOCK” (PUSH ON), set the ignition switch to
the “ON” position and confirm that all warning lights and
warning displays are operating properly.
7. Without pressing the accelerator pedal, slowly turn the
ignition switch to the “START” position to start the
engine. Release the ignition switch when the engine starts.NOTE
Minor noises may be heard on engine start-up. These will
disappear as the engine warms up. Startability of continuously variable transmission (CVT)
vehicles or Twin Clutch SST vehicles at extremely cold
ambient temperature
When the ambient temperature is -4 °F (-20 °C) or lower on
vehicles equipped with CVT, or -22 °F (-30 °C) or lower on
vehicles equipped with Twin Clutch SST, it may not be possi-
ble to start from a standstill even with the selector lever (CVT)
or the gearshift lever (Twin Clutch SST) in the “D” (DRIVE)
position.
This phenomenon occurs because the transaxle has not warmed
up sufficiently; it does not indicate a problem. If this occurs,
place the selector lever (CVT) or the gearshift lever (Twin
Clutch SST) in the “P” (PARK) position and let the engine idle
for at least 10 minutes.
The transaxle will warm up, and you will be able to drive nor-
mally.
Do not leave the vehicle during warm-up operation.

second valid F.A.S.T.-key to the “LOCK” position and
remove it. Within 30 seconds after doing so, insert a blank
F.A.S.T.-key into the emergency key and turn it to the
“ON” position. Perform this operation no more than 30
seconds after the immobilizer display starts blinking.
When registration of the ID code is complete, the immobi-
lizer display will come on for 3 seconds then go off. If an
error occurs, the immobilizer display will go off during
the procedure.
8. If you wish to register another F.A.S.T.-key, repeat the
process from step 1.

not showing. The interrupt display screen may prevent
you from seeing the immobilizer display.

It is not possible to register a F.A.S.T.-key if:
• the immobilizer display goes off during the procedure
• the immobilizer display does not come on within 30 sec-
onds after turning the ignition switch to the “ON” posi-
tion with a blank F.A.S.T.-key

The procedure will be terminated automatically if:
• a period of 30 seconds or longer elapses from the
moment when the first F.A.S.T.-key is turned to the
“LOCK” position to the moment when the second
F.A.S.T.-key is turned to the “ON” position

moment when the second F.A.S.T.-key is turned to the
“LOCK” position to the moment when the blank
F.A.S.T.-key is turned to the “ON” position

To use the new remote control transmitters, it is necessary
to register the key with both the electronic immobilizer
and keyless entry system.
Also refer to “Keyless entry system: Customer F.A.S.T.-
key programming” on page 3-48.
