■Push Button Start Positions
●The  engine  starts  by  pressing  the  push  button  start  while  depre ssing  the
clutch pedal (manual transaxle) or the brake pedal (automatic t ransaxle). To
switch  the  ignition  position,  press  the  push  button  start  without  depressing
the pedal.
● Do not leave the ignition switched ON while the engine is not r unning. Doing
so  could  result  in  the  battery  going  dead.  If  the  ignition  is  l eft  in ACC  (For
automatic transaxle, the selector lever is in the P position, a nd the ignition is
in ACC), the ignition switches off automatically after about 25  minutes.
■ ACC (Accessory)
The  keyless  entry  system  does  not  function  while  the  push  butto n  start  has
been  pressed  to ACC,  and  the  doors  will  not  lock/unlock  even  if   they  have
been locked manually.
■ ON
When  the  push  button  start  is  pressed  to  ON,  the  sound  of  the  f uel  pump
motor  operating  near  the  fuel  tank  can  be  heard.  This  does  not  indicate  an
abnormality.
WARNING
■ Before  leaving  the  driver’s  seat,  set  the  parking  brake,  make  s ure  the
selector lever is in 1st gear  or R (manual  transaxle) or in P ( automatic
transaxle), and always switch the ignition off
Leaving  the  driver’s  seat  without  setting  the  parking  brake,  sh ifting  the
selector  lever  to  1st  gear  or  R  (manual  transaxle)  or  to  P  (automatic  tran-
saxle),  and  switching  the  ignition  off  is  dangerous.  Unexpected  vehicle
movement could occur which could result in an accident.
In addition, if your intention is to leave the vehicle for even  a short period, it
is important to switch the ignition off, as leaving it in anoth er position will dis-
able some of the vehicle’s security systems and run the battery  down.
