Do not operate the starter motor for longer than 15 sec-
onds 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 mecha-
nism.


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.


A longer warm up period will only consume extra fuel.
The engine is warmed up enough for driving when the bar
graph of engine coolant tempareture display starts to
move. Refer to “Interrupt display screen (When the igni-
tion switch is in the “ON” position)” on page 3-174.
CAUTION
!

Carry the key with you when leaving the vehicle.


If your vehicle needs to be towed, turn the ignition
switch to the “ACC” position to unlock the steering
wheel.
