[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.
