STARTING AND OPERATING
7
!WARNING:
Be sure that the clutch is fully de- pressed when starting a manualtransmission vehicle. Otherwise there is the potential to cause dam- age to the vehicle or injury to some-one inside or outside the vehicle as a result of the forward or backward movement of the vehicle that willoccur if the clutch is not depressed when the vehicle is started.
5. Turn the ignition key to the "START" position and release it when theengine starts. D040A01P-GAT Tips for starting
o Do not operate the starter motor
continuously for longer than ten seconds; doing so could run down the battery. If the engine does not start, turn the ignition switch backto "LOCK", wait a few minutes, and then try again.
o If the engine cannot be started be- cause the battery is weak or dead,refer to the emergency starting sec- tion for instructions on EmergencyStarting.
o After starting the engine, do not
keep the engine idling without driv-ing. Once when the atmospheric tem- perature is very low, warm up theengine at a high idling speed to ensure proper circulation of the oil. CAUTION:
o Do not run the engine at high rpm or drive the vehicle at high speed until the engine has had achance to warm up.
o Release the ignition key as soon
as the engine starts to avoiddamaging the starter motor.!
44IN CASE OF EMERGENCY

!WARNING:
o Improperly loading your car and trailer can serious affect its steer- ing and braking performance causing a crash in which youmay be seriously injured.
o For automatic transmission ve-
hicles, the trailer should be towedwith the towing vehicle unloaded, with the exception of the driver. Otherwise, the automatic trans-mission oil temperature may rise to a temperature that may result in serious damage of the auto- matic transmission. C190F02A-GAT Trailer or Vehicle Towing Tips
1. Before towing, check hitch and
safety chain connections as well as proper operation of the trailer run- ning lights, brake lights, and turn signals.
2. Always drive your vehicle at a mod- erate speed (Less than 100 km/h).
3. Trailer towing requires more fuel than normal conditions.
4. To maintain engine braking effi-
ciency and electrical charging per-formance, do not use fifth gear (manual transmission) or overdrive (automatic transmission).
5. Always secure items in the trailer to prevent load shift while driving.
6. Check the condition and air pres- sure of all tires on the trailer and your car. Low tire pressure can se- riously affect the handling. Alsocheck the spare tire.
7. The vehicle/trailer combination is
more affected by crosswind andbuffeting. When being passed by a large vehicle, keep a constant speed and steer straight ahead. If there is too much wind buffeting,slow down to get out of the othervehicle’s air turbulence.
8. When parking your car and trailer,
especially on a hill, be sure to followall the normal precautions. Turn your front wheel into the curb, set the parking brake firmly, and put thetransmission in 1st or "R" (manual transmission) or "P" (automatic transmission). In addition, placewheel chocks at each of the trailer’s tires.
9. If the trailer has electric brakes, start your vehicle and trailer mov-ing, and then apply the trailer brake controller by hand to be sure thebrakes are working. This lets you check your electrical connection at the same time.
10.During your trip, check occasion- ally to be sure that the load issecure, and that the lights and anytrailer brakes are still working.
11.Avoid jerky starts, sudden accel-
eration or sudden stops.
12.Avoid sharp turns and rapid lane changes.
