driver’s knee airbag from inflating normally or
could be propelled to cause serious injury if the air-
bag inflates.

3 Starting and stopping the engine
N00542100073
Tips for starting

Do not operate the starter motor continuously for longer
than 15 seconds as this could run the battery down or
damage the starter motor. If the engine does not start, turn
the ignition switch back to the “LOCK” position, wait a
few seconds, and then try again. Trying repeatedly with
the engine or starter motor still turning will damage the
starter mechanism.


If the engine will not start because the battery is weak or
discharged, refer to “Jump-starting the engine” (on page
6-2) for instructions.


The engine is warmed up enough for driving when the bar
graph of engine coolant temperature display starts to
move. Driving before the bar graph moves may cause
deterioration of turbocharger performance and driveabil-
ity. A longer warm up period will only consume extra
fuel.


On vehicles equipped with the Twin Clutch SST, the fol-
lowing may occur after the engine is started, but they do
not indicate an abnormality.
 You may hear operational sounds of the Twin Clutch
SST and you may feel vibration in the vehicle body.
 If you shift the gearshift lever into the “N” (NEUTRAL)
position and depress the accelerator pedal, increases in
the engine speed will be limited.
WA R N I N G
!

Never run the engine in a closed or poorly ventilated
area any longer than is needed to move your vehicle
out of the area. Carbon monoxide gas, which is
odorless and extremely poisonous, could build up
and cause serious injury or death.CAUTION
!

Do not push-start the vehicle.


Do not run the engine at high rpms or drive at high
speeds until the engine has had a chance to warm
up.


Release the ignition switch as soon as the engine
starts. Otherwise, the starter motor will be dam-
aged.
