Sunroof timer functionThe sunroof can be operated when the ignition switch is in the
“ON” position. The sunroof can be opened or closed for a 30-
second period after the ignition switch is turned to the “ACC”
or “LOCK” position. However, when the driver’s door or the
front passenger door is opened, the sunroof cannot be operated.
Turn on the ignition switch again to operate.
Safety mechanismIf a hand or head is trapped in the closing sunroof opening, the
safety mechanism will cause the sunroof to re-open automati-
cally. The opened sunroof will become operational again after
a few seconds.
If the safety mechanism is activated 5 or more times consecu-
tively, normal closing of the sunroof will be aborted. To return
the sunroof to normal operation:
1. Press switch (2) repeatedly until the sunroof moves into
the tilt up position.
2. Once the tilt up position has been reached, press again and
hold the switch (2) for at least 3 seconds.
3. Press the switch (3) to fully close the sunroof.
4. After pressing the switch (1) to perform full opening,
press the switch (3) to fully close the sunroof.NOTE
The safety mechanism can be activated if the driving con-
ditions or other circumstances cause the sunroof to be sub-
jected to a physical shock similar to that caused by a
trapped hand or head.

Avoid stopping the sunroof before it reaches the opening
or closing end during operations. If this should acciden-
tally be allowed to happen, repeat the process from step 1.

N00550900113
When removing the key, first set the selector lever to the “P”
(PARK) position, and then turn the key to the “LOCK” position
and remove it.NOTE

brake booster will stop functioning and greater
effort for braking will be required. Also, the power
steering system will not function and it will require
greater effort to manually steer the vehicle.

time when the engine is not running. This will cause
the battery to run down.
Do not turn the key to the “START” position when
the engine is running. It will damage the starter
motor.

3Starting the engine
N00512600721
[For vehicles equipped with the Free-hand Advanced Secu-
rity Transmitter (F.A.S.T.-key).]
For information on operations for vehicles equipped with the
Free-hand Advanced Security Transmitter (F.A.S.T.-key), refer
to “Free-hand Advanced Security Transmitter (F.A.S.T.-key):
Starting” on page3-16.
[Except for vehicles equipped with the Free-hand
Advanced Security Transmitter (F.A.S.T.-key).]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.

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 temperature display starts to
move. Refer to “Interrupt display screen (When the igni-
tion switch is in the “ON” position)” on page 3-172.
Starting the engineThis model is equipped with an electronically controlled fuel
injection system. This is a system that automatically controls
fuel injection. There is usually no need to depress the accelera-
tor pedal when starting the engine.
The starter should not be run for more than 15 seconds at a
time.
To prevent battery drain, wait a few seconds between attempts
to restart the engine.
1. Make sure all occupants are properly seated with seat
belts fastened.
2. Insert the ignition key.
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.

Selector lever operation
N00513800296
As an additional safety precaution, models equipped with an
automatic transaxle have a shift-lock device that holds the
selector lever in the “P” (PARK) position. To move the selector
lever from the “P” (PARK) position to another position, follow
the steps below.
1. Press and hold the brake pedal down.
2. Move the selector lever to the desired position.NOTE
The selector lever cannot be moved from “P” (PARK) to
another position if the ignition switch is set to the
“LOCK” or “ACC” position, or if the key has been
removed, or if the brake pedal is not pressed and held
down.The transaxle has 6 forward gears and 1 reverse gear.
The individual gears are selected automatically, depending on
the position of the gear selector lever, the speed of the vehicle
and the position of the accelerator pedal.
The selector lever (A) has “2 gates”: The main gate (B) and the
manual gate (C).
NOTE
There are 4 selector lever positions in the main gate.
