(PARK) position in which the driving wheels
lock.
6. Press the engine switch.
7. Make sure that all warning lamps are func- tioning properly.
NOTE l Minor noises may be heard on engine start-
up. These will disappear as the engine warms
up.
Starting the engine (diesel-powered vehicles) E00308600051
1. Fasten the seat belt.
2.

Make sure the parking brake is applied.
3. Depress and hold the brake pedal.
4. Fully depress and hold the clutch pedal.
NOTE l On vehicles with the Auto Stop & Go
(AS&G) system, the starter will not operate
unless the clutch pedal is fully depressed
(Clutch interlock). 5. Place
the gearshift lever in the “N” (Neutral)
position. 6. Press the engine switch.
The
diesel preheat indication lamp will first
illuminate, and then after a short time go out,
indicating that preheating is completed. The
engine will start.
NOTE l If the engine is cold, the diesel preheat indi-
cation lamp is on for a longer time.
l Putting the operation mode in ON will also
start preheating the engine. When the engine
has not been started within about 5 seconds
after the diesel preheat indication lamp went
out, put the operation mode in OFF. Then, at-
tempt the engine start procedure to preheat
the engine again.
l Minor noises may be heard on engine start-
up. These will disappear as the engine warms
up. Using the MIVEC engine
The

MIVEC engine automatically switches its in-
take-valve control between a low-speed mode and
a high-speed mode in accordance with driving con-
ditions for maximum engine performance.
NOTE
l To protect the engine, the high-speed mode
may not be selected while the engine coolant
temperature is low.
Stopping the engine E00312600023 WARNING
l Do
not operate the engine switch while
driving except in an emergency. If the en-
gine is stopped while driving, the brake
servomechanism will cease to function
and braking efficiency will deteriorate.
Also, the power steering system will not
function and it will require greater man-
ual effort to operate the steering. This
could result in a serious accident.
NOTE l If

you have to bring the engine to an emergen-
cy stop while driving, press and hold the en-
gine switch for 3 seconds or more, or press it
quickly 3 times or more. The engine will
stop and the operation mode will go to ACC. Locking and unlocking

Fuel injection amount learning proc-
ess (diesel-powered vehicles)
E00627900043
To
keep exhaust emissions and engine noise low,
the engine very occasionally performs a learning
process for the fuel injection amount.
The engine sounds slightly different from usual
while the learning process is taking place. The
change in the engine sound does not indicate a fault. Diesel particulate filter (DPF)*
E00619800199
The
diesel particulate filter (DPF) is a device that
captures most of the particulate matter (PM) in the
exhaust emissions of the diesel engine. The DPF au-
tomatically burns away trapped PM during vehicle
operation. Under certain driving conditions, howev-
er, the DPF is not able to burn away all of the trap-
ped PM and, as a result, an excessive amount of
PM accumulates inside it. WARNING
l The DPF reaches very high temperatures.
Do

not park your vehicle in areas where
combustible materials such as dry grass
or leaves can come in contact with a hot
exhaust system since a fire could occur. CAUTION
l
Do
not use any type of fuel or engine oil
that is not specified for your vehicle. Al-
so, do not use any moisture-removing
agent or other fuel additive. Such substan-
ces could have a detrimental effect on the
DPF.
Refer to “Fuel selection” on page 02 and
“Engine oil” on page 8-04.
NOTE l To

minimize the likelihood of excessive ac-
cumulation of PM, try to avoid driving for
long periods at low speeds and repeatedly
driving short distances. l
The
engine sounds slightly different than usu-
al while the DPF automatically burns away
trapped PM. The change in the engine sound
does not indicate a fault.
DPF warning display Type 1 Type 2
The DPF warning display illuminates in the event
of an abnormality in the DPF system.
If the DPF warning display illumi-
nates during vehicle operation
Steady

illumination of the DPF warning display
shows that the DPF has not been able to burn away
all of the trapped PM and that, as a result, an exces-
sive amount of PM has accumulated inside it. To en-
able the DPF to burn away the PM, try to drive the
vehicle as follows:
l With the bar graph of engine coolant temper-
ature display stabilized in roughly the middle
of the scale, drive for about 20 minutes at a
speed of at least 40 km/h (25 mph). Starting and driving

NOTE
l When
the engine is automatically stopped,
changes will occur in the driving operations.
Pay closel attention to the following. • The brake booster becomes inoperativeand the pedal effort will increase.
If the vehicle is moving, press down the
brake pedal harder than usual.
• The electric power steering system (EPS) becomes inoperative and it will become
harder to turn the steering wheel. CAUTION
l
Observe
the following precautions when
the engine is stopped automatically. Oth-
erwise, an unexpected accident might oc-
cur when the engine restarts automatical-
ly. • Do not depress the accelerator pedalto race the engine while the vehicle is
stopped (regardless of whether the en-
gine is running or stopped).
Otherwise, an unexpected accident
might occur when the engine restarts
automatically. CAUTION
• Do
not leave the driver’s seat or open
the bonnet.
If the driver’s seat belt is unfastened
or if the bonnet is opened, the “ ” dis-
play/indicator

will blink to notify the
driver. If this occurs, the engine will
not restart automatically even if the
clutch pedal is depressed, the seat belt
is refastened, and the bonnet is closed.
While depressing the brake pedal,
fully depress the clutch pedal and
turn the ignition switch to the
“START” position or press the engine
switch to start the engine.
For details, refer to “Starting and stop-
ping the engine” on page 1-15 or “Start-
ing” on page 4-13.
• Do not move the gearshift lever to a po- sition other than the “N” (Neutral) po-
sition.
If the gearshift lever is moved to a po-
sition other than the “N” (Neutral) po-
sition, the “ ”
display/indicator
blinks and the buzzer sounds.
If the gearshift lever is returned to the
“N” (Neutral) position, the display/in-
dicator stops blinking and the buzzer
stops sounding. The engine will not re-
start if the gearshift lever is in a posi-
tion other than the “N” (Neutral) posi-
tion.

the following cases, the Auto Stop & Go
(AS&G) system will not operate and the en- gine will not stop automatically even if the ve-
hicle is stopped.
•

Driver’s seat belt is not fastened
• Bonnet is open
• After the engine restarts automatically, the vehicle speed has not exceeded ap-
proximately 5 km/h (3 mph)
• Brake booster vacuum pressure is low be- cause the brake pedal is depressed repeat-
edly or depressed harder than usual
• After the ignition switch is turned from the “ON” position to the “START” posi-
tion, approximately 30 seconds or more
have not elapsed.
• After the engine restarts automatically and the vehicle stops again within 10 sec-
onds.
• After presing the engine switch to start the engine from the operation mode is in
ON, approximately 30 seconds or more
have not elapsed
• Engine coolant temperature is low
• Ambient temperature is lower than ap- proximately 3 °C
• Air conditioning is operating and passen- ger compartment has not sufficiently
cooled
• Mode selection dial is set to the demister position.
