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 engine coolant temperature display starts to
move. Refer to “Interrupt display screen (With ignition
switch or operation mode in ON)” on page 3-145.Starting the engineYour vehicle is equipped with an electronically controlled fuel
injection system. This is a system that automatically controls
fuel injection. There is 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 with your right foot.
4. Press and hold the clutch pedal all the way down (manual
transaxle).
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), make sure the selector lever is in the “P”
(PARK) position.
NOTE
On vehicles equipped with continuously variable trans-
mission (CVT), the engine can only be started when the
selector lever is in the “P” (PARK) or “N” (NEUTRAL)
position.
For safety reasons, the engine should be started when the
selector lever is in the “P” (PARK) position in which the
driving wheels lock.
6. Press the engine switch.

functioning properly.NOTE
Minor noises may be heard on engine start-up. These will
disappear as the engine warms up.

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.

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.

Startability of continuously variable transmission (CVT)
vehicles with an ambient temperature of -22 °F (-30 °C) or
lower
When the ambient temperature is -22 °F (-30 °C) or lower, it
may not be possible to start from a standstill even with the
selector lever 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 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 start nor-
mally.
Do not leave the vehicle during warm-up operation.Stopping the engine
