Precautions to observe when using
wipers and washers
EE13C-I
(1) If the moving wipers become blocked
by ice or other deposits on the glass,
the motor may burn out even if the
wiper switch is turned to OFF. If
obstruction occurs, park your vehicle in
a safe place, turn off the ignition, and
clean the deposits from the glass so
that the wipers operate smoothly.
(2) Do not use the wipers when the glass
is dry. They may scratch the glass sur-
face or the blades may prematurely
wear out.
(3) Before using the wipers in cold weather,
check that the wiper blades are not fro-
zen onto the glass. The motor may
burn out if the wipers are used with the
blades frozen onto the glass.
(4) Avoid using the washer continuously for
more than 20 seconds. Do not oper-
ate the washer when the fluid reser-
voir is empty.
Otherwise, the motor may burn out.
(5) Periodically check the level of washer
fluid in the reservoir and refill if
required.
During cold weather, add a recom-
mended washer solution that will not
freeze in the washer reservoir. Fail-
ure to do so could result in loss of
washer function and frost damage to
the system components.

time Running Lamp, when the igni-
tion switch is“ON”, the headlamp low
beams etc. are turned on.
Refer to“Headlamps”.
(4) As your vehicle is equipped with an
electronic immobilizer, to start the

sponder inside the key sends must
match the one registered to the immo-
bilizer computer. (Refer to page 2-2).
CAUTION

from the ignition switch while
driving. The steering wheel will
be locked, causing loss of con-
trol.
(2) If the engine is stopped while
driving, the brake servomecha-
nism will cease to function and
braking efficiency will deterio-
rate. Also, power steering sys-
tem will not function and it will
require greater manual effort to
operate the steering.
(3) Do not leave the key in the“ON”
position for a long time when the
engine is not running; doing so
will cause the battery to be dis-
charged.
(4) Do not turn the key to the

How to lock and unlock the steer-
ing wheel
EI01B-K
To lock
Remove the key at the“LOCK”position.
Turn the steering wheel until it is locked.
To unlock
Turn the key to the“ACC”position while
moving the steering wheel slightly.
CAUTION
Remove the key when leaving the
vehicle.
NOTE
If the front wheels are turned, the anti-theft
lock may sometimes make it difficult to turn
the key from“LOCK”to“ACC”. Firmly turn
the steering wheel to the left or to the right
as you turn the key.
Starting
EI02FOH
Tips for starting(1) Do not operate the starter motor con-
tinuously for anything longer than 10
seconds; doing so could run down the
battery. If the engine does not start, turn
the ignition switch back to“LOCK”, wait
a few seconds, and then try again.
Trying repeatedly with the starter motor
still turning will damage the starter
mechanism.
(2) If the engine cannot be started because
the battery is weak or dead, refer to the
“Emergency starting”section for
instructions on starting the engine.
(3) The engine is well warmed up if the
coolant temperature gauge needle
starts to move (the engine speed
decreases). Extended warming-up
operation will result in excessive fuel
consumption.
WARNING
Never run the engine in a closed or
poorly ventilated area any longer
than is needed to move your vehicle
in or out the area. Carbon monox-
ide gases are odorless and can be
fatal.
