1. Make sure all occupants are properly seated with seat
belts fastened.
2. Make sure the parking brake is applied.
3. Press and hold the brake pedal down with your right foot.
4. Press and hold the clutch pedal all the way down (manual
transaxle).
5. On vehicles equipped with manual transaxle, place the
gearshift lever in the “N” (Neutral) position.
On vehicles equipped with continuously variable trans-
mission (CVT), make sure the selector lever is in the “P”
(PARK) position.NOTE
On vehicles equipped with continuously variable trans-
mission (CVT), the engine can only be started when the
selector lever is in the “P” (PARK) or “N” (NEUTRAL)
position.
For safety reasons, the engine should be started when the
selector lever is in the “P” (PARK) position in which the
driving wheels lock.
6. Press the engine switch.
7. Confirm that all warning lights and warning displays are
functioning properly.NOTE
Minor noises may be heard on engine start-up. These will
disappear as the engine warms up.Startability of continuously variable transmission (CVT)
vehicles with an ambient temperature of -22 °F (-30 °C) or
lower
When the ambient temperature is -22 °F (-30 °C) or lower, it
may not be possible to start from a standstill even with the
selector lever in the “D” (DRIVE) position.
This phenomenon occurs because the transaxle has not warmed
up sufficiently; it does not indicate a problem. If this occurs,
place the selector lever in the “P” (PARK) position and let the
engine idle for at least 10 minutes.
The transaxle will warm up, and you will be able to start nor-
mally.
Do not leave the vehicle during warm-up operation.

Do not operate the engine switch while driving
except in an emergency. If the engine is stopped
while driving, the brake servomechanism will cease
to function and braking efficiency will deteriorate.
Also, the power steering system will not function
and it will require greater manual effort to operate
the steering. This could result in a serious accident.
