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 emergency key 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.

A longer warm up period will only consume extra fuel.
The engine is warmed up enough for driving when the bar
graph of the engine coolant temperature display starts to
move. Refer to “Interrupt display screen (With ignition
switch in the “ON” position)” on page 3-166.

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 emergency key as soon as the engine
starts. It will damage the starter motor.

5. Press and hold the brake pedal down with your right foot.
6. Press and hold the clutch pedal all the way down (manual
transaxle).NOTE
For models equipped with a manual transaxle, the starter
will not operate unless the clutch pedal is fully depressed
(Clutch interlock). This is a safety feature.
7. On vehicles with manual transaxle, place the gearshift
lever in the “N” (Neutral) position.
On vehicles with SST, make sure the gearshift lever is in
the “P” (PARK) position.NOTE
On vehicles with Twin Clutch SST, the starter will not
operate unless the gearshift lever is in the “P” (PARK)
position or the gearshift lever is in the “N” (NEUTRAL)
position with the brake pedal depressed.
For safety reasons, start the engine in the “P” (PARK)
position so that the wheels are locked.
8. Turn the emergency key with the F.A.S.T.-key to the
“ON” position and make certain that all warning lights
and warning displays are functioning properly before
starting the engine.
9. Turn the emergency key with the F.A.S.T.-key to the
“START” position without pressing the accelerator pedal.
Release the emergency key with the F.A.S.T.-key when
the engine starts.10. Remove the F.A.S.T.-key from the emergency key.
NOTE
Minor noises may be heard on engine start-up. These will
disappear as the engine warms up.NOTE
If the emergency key is attached to a key ring, it may
become impossible to insert the F.A.S.T.-key into the
emergency key, and it may prevent the engine from being
started. When using the emergency key to start the engine,
first remove the key from the key ring.
WA R N I N G
!
Make sure to remove the F.A.S.T.-key from the
emergency key after the engine is started.
If not removed, the F.A.S.T.-key could fall to the
floor, which could disturb the pedal operation. Fur-
thermore, the F.A.S.T.-key could prevent the
driver’s knee airbag from inflating normally or
could be propelled to cause serious injury if the air-
bag inflates.
