Changing the operation mode

CAUTION When the engine is not running, put the oper- ation mode in OFF. Leaving the operationmode in ON or ACC for a long time when the engine is not r
unning may cause the bat-
tery to be discharged, making it impossibleto start the engine.  When the battery is disconnected, the current operation mode is memorized. After recon- necting the battery, the memorized mode is selected auto
matically. 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. The operation mode cannot be changed from OFF to ACC or ON if the F.A.S.T.-key is not detected to be in the
vehicle. Refer to “Oper-
ating range for starting the engine and changing the operation mode” on page 5-11.

 The operation mode can be in any mode to start the engine.  The starter motor will be turning for up to approximately 15 seconds if the engine switch is released at once. Pressing the engine switch again while the starter motor is still turning will stop the starter motor. The starter motor will be turningfor up to approximately 30 seconds while the engine switch is pressed. If the engine does not start, wait for awhile and then attempt to start the engine again. Trying repeatedly with the starter motor still turning will damage the startermechanism.  If the engine will not
start because the bat-
tery is weak or discharged, refer to“Jump-starting the engine” on page 8-2 for instructions.  A longer warm up period will only con- sume extra fuel. The engine is warmed up enough for driv- ing when the low coolant temperatureindicator goes out. Refer to “Low coolant temperature indi- cator” on page 5-76.
Your vehicle is equipped with an electroni- cally controlled fuel injection system. This is a system that automatically controls fuelinjection. There is usually no need to depress the accelerator pedal when starting the engine.To prevent battery drain, wait a few seconds between attempts to restart the engine. 1. Make sure all occupants are properly seated with seat belts fastened.2. Make sure the parking brake is applied. 3. Press and hold the brake pedal down firmly with your right foot.
4. Press and hold the clut
ch pedal all the way
down (manual transaxle). 5. On vehicles equipped with manual trans- axle, place the gearshift lever in the “N” (Neutral) position.On vehicles equippe
d with continuously
variable transmission (CVT), make sure the selector lever is in the “P” (PARK)position.
Starting and stopping the engine

Tips for starting

WA R N I N G Never run the engine in
a closed or poorly
ventilated area any longer than is neededto move your vehicle
out of the area. Car-
bon monoxide gas, wh
ich 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.
Starting the engine

NOTE
 After the engine has not started for a while, the brake pedal effort needed to start theengine may become grea
ter. If this occurs,
depress the brake pedal more firmly than usual.NOTE
 For vehicles equipped with a manual trans- axle, the engine will
not start unless the
clutch pedal is fully depressed (Clutch inter- lock). This is a safety feature.

Always use care to cha
nge the gear with the
vehicle speed matched
to the engine speed.
Proper shifting will
improve fuel economy
and prolong engine life.
N00512900131
For the best fuel economy and performance in using your manual transaxle, upshift as listed below. At low altitude locations, shift at the vehicle speeds listed. Upshifting earlier during cruise conditions (relatively
steady speeds) will
improve your fuel economy. At high altitude locati
ons, upshift as listed
below.
N00513000096
It is recommended th
at you downshift to a
lower gear when needed to maintain the desired speed, according to the table. Avoid downshifting at
too high a speed. The
engine may suffer damage. To maintain a safe speed and prolong brake life, shift down to 2nd or 1st when descend-ing a steep hill. Downshifting is also important to avoid “lug- ging” the engine at too low a speed, such as when turning a corner or when driving up a steep hill.
NOTE
 If it is hard to shift into 1st, depress the clutch pedal a second time; the shift will thenbe easier.  To shift into reverse from 5th gear, move the gearshift lever to the “N” (Neutral) position,and then shift it into reverse.  To avoid grinding noises when shifting into reverse, wait approxi
mately 3 seconds with
the clutch pedal depressed when the vehicle is stationary.
Proper shift points

CAUTION Avoid downshifting that may cause the tachometer pointer to enter the red zone. This puts the engine at risk of being dam- aged.
