This model is equipped with an electronically controlled fuel injection system. This is a sys-tem that automatically controls fuel injection. There is usually no need to depress the accel- erator pedal when starting the engine.The starter should not be run for more than 15 seconds at a time. To prevent battery drain, wait a few secondsbetween attempts to restart the engine. 1. Make sure all occupants are properly seated with seat belts fastened.
CAUTION If the engine is stopped while driving, the brake servomechanism w
ill cease to function
and braking efficiency will deteriorate. Also, the power steering syst
em will not function
and it will require gr
eater manual effort to
operate the steering. Do not leave the key in
the “ON” position for
a long time when the engine is not running, doing so will cause th
e battery to be dis-
charged. Do not turn the key to the “START” position when the engine is running, doing so coulddamage the starter motor.

After several attempts
, you may experience
that the engine still does not start. 1. Make sure that all electric devices, such as lights, air conditi
oning blower and rear
window defogger, are turned off. 2. While depressing the brake pedal {contin- uously variable transmission (CVT)} orthe clutch pedal (manual transaxle), press the accelerator peda
l halfway and hold it
there, then crank th
e engine. Release the
accelerator pedal, immediately after the engine starts.
3. If the engine still wi
