SB13049
To change the steering wheel angle,
hold the steering wheel, push the lock
release lever, tilt the steering wheel to
the desired angle and return the lever
to its original position.
CAUTION
Do not adjust the steering wheel
while the vehicle is moving. Doing
so may cause the driver to mishan-
dle the vehicle and an accident may
occur resulting in death or serious
injuries.
After adjusting the steering wheel,
try moving it up and down to make
sure it is locked in position.
Outside rear view mirrors—
SB13050
Adjust the mirror so that you can see
the side of your vehicle in the mirror.
Be careful when judging the size or dis-
tance of any object seen in the outside
rear view mirror on the passenger ’s side
because it is a convex mirror. Any object
seen in a convex mirror will look smaller
and farther away than when seen in a flat
mirror.

Before starting the engine
1. Check the area around the vehicle be-fore entering it.
Sequential manual transmission only:
When the driver ’s door is opened, a motor
sound may be heard from the engine
compartment, but it is not a malfunction.
The motor will stop after a certain period
of time. 2. Adjust seat position, seatback angle, seat cushion angle and steering wheel
angle.
3. Adjust the inside and outside rear view mirrors.

Hold down the brake pedal firmly, and
place the selector lever to the “N” posi-
tion. Make sure that the “N” indicator

starter safety device will prevent the
starter from operating if the selector
lever is in a position except “N” or the
brake pedal is not depressed.
Manual transmission: Press the clutch
pedal to the floor and shift the trans-
mission into neutral. Hold the clutch
pedal to the floor until the engine is

vent the starter from operating if the

off the accelerator pedal, crank the en-
gine by turning the key to the “START”
position. Release the key when the en-
gine starts.
