Starting
E00601600811
Tips for starting l Do not
operate
the starter motor continuous-
ly longer than 10 seconds; doing so could
run down the battery. If the engine does not
start, turn the ignition key back to “LOCK”
position, wait a few seconds, and then try
again. Trying repeatedly with the starter mo-
tor still turning will damage the starter mech-
anism. WARNING
l Never
run
the

ly ventilated area any longer than is nee-
ded to move your vehicle in or out of the
area. Carbon monoxide gases are odour-
less and can be fatal. CAUTION
l
Never attempt to
start the engine by push-
ing or pulling the vehicle.
l Do not run the engine at high rpm or
drive the vehicle at high speed until the en-
gine has had a chance to warm up.
l Release the ignition key as soon as the en-
gine starts to avoid damaging the starter
motor.
l If your vehicle is equipped with a turbo-
charger, do not stop the engine immedi-
ately after high-speed or uphill driving.

Automatic transmission
INVECS-II Sports Mode 5A/T
(Intelligent & Innovative Vehicle Electronic Control System II) E00603200101
Designed for
optimum control and equipped with
adaptive control capabilities, the electronically con-
trolled transmission optimally matches gear shifts
to almost all driving and road conditions. CAUTION
l
This system
is
strictly intended to provide
supplementary functions. When travel-
ling downhill under certain conditions or
immediately after starting off when the au-
tomatic transmission is cold, no automat-
ic shiftdown may be made. The driver
should shiftdown to a lower gear to use en-
gine braking. Try to drive safely at all time.
NOTE l During
running-in period

or immediately af-
ter reconnection of the battery cable, there
may be a case where gear shifts are not made
smoothly. This does not indicate a faulty trans-
mission.
Gear shifts will become smooth after the trans-
mission has been shifted several times by the
electronic control system.
Selector lever operation E00603300522
The transmission has 5 forward gears and 1 reverse
gear. The individual gears are selected automatically, de-
pending
on the

position of the gear selector lever,
the speed of the vehicle and the position of the ac-
celerator pedal.
The selector lever has 2 gates; the main gate (1)
and the manual gate (2). In the main gate, the selector lever has 4 positions,
and is equipped
with a lock button (A) to avoid in-
advertent selection of the wrong gear. The lock button must be pushed while
the brake
pedal

is depressed to move the
selector lever. The lock button must be pushed to move
the selector lever.
The lock button need not be pushed to
move the selector lever. Starting and driving

ABS warning lamp
E00607200532
The ABS warning
lamp should illuminate when the
ignition switch is turned “ON”, and should go off
in a few seconds. CAUTION
l
If the
warning
lamp stays on or does not
illuminate when you start the vehicle, it in-
dicates that the ABS is not functioning
and that only the standard brake system
is in operation. (In this condition the stand-
ard hydraulic brake system will still func-
tion.) We recommend you to have your ve-
hicle inspected as soon as possible. NOTE
l Depressing
the brake

pedal repeatedly may
turn on the brake warning lamp, ABS warn-
ing lamp and brake warning buzzer. (The
ASTC indication lamp and Active Stability
Control function OFF indication lamp also
turn on.) It is normal if the lamp goes out
and the buzzer stops sounding after a few sec-
onds.
l On vehicles with the rear differential lock,
the active stability & traction control
(ASTC) and anti-lock brake system (ABS)
functions are suspended while the rear differ-
ential lock is activated. ASTC indication
lamp, Active Stability Control function OFF
indication lamp, ABS warning lamp and
brake warning lamp are illuminated while
these functions are suspended. It does not in-
dicate a problem. When the rear differential
lock is disengaged, these lamps go out and
function again.
Refer to “Brake warning lamp” on page 3-09,
“ASTC indication lamp” on page 4-42, “Ac-
tive stability control function OFF indication
lamp” on page 4-43. If the warning lamp illuminates while
driving
E00607300416
If only the ABS warning lamp illuminates l Avoid
hard
braking
and high-speed driving.
Stop the vehicle in a safe place.
Restart the engine and check to see whether
the lamp goes out after a few minutes driv-
ing; if it then remains off during driving,
there is no problem.
However, if the lamp does not go out, or if it
lights up again when the vehicle is driven,
we recommend you to have the vehicle
checked as soon as possible.
l The ABS warning lamp can illuminate if the
battery voltage is insufficient when the en-
gine is started. In this case, it does not indi-
cate an ABS fault.
Charge the battery by allowing the engine to
idle for a while.
If the battery has been charged but the ABS
warning lamp continues to illuminate or illu-
minates intermittently, we recommend you
to have the vehicle inspected.
If the ABS warning lamp and brake warning
lamp illuminate at the same time l The ABS and brake force distribution func-
tion will not work, so hard braking could
make the vehicle unstable.
Avoid hard braking and high-speed driving.
Stop the vehicle in a safe place and we rec-
ommend you to have it checked. Starting and driving

NOTE
l Immediately
after reconnection
of the battery
cable, the indication lamp will illuminate
and the Active Stability Control function will
stop operating. If

the vehicle is driven and
the indication lamp goes off, the Active
Stability Control function
will again start op-
erating.
If the indication lamp illuminates again or il-
luminates even though the battery has not
been disconnected, an insufficient battery
voltage or other problems may be the reason.
We recommend you to have your vehicle in-
spected.
Active traction control function E00614100041
The active traction control function maintains trac-
tion on slippery

road surfaces by automatically con-
trolling the engine output and applying the brakes
so the driving wheels are prevented from spinning.
The active traction control function automatically
turns ON when the ignition switch is turned to the
“ON” position. CAUTION
l
If the temperature
in the braking system
increases excessively due to continuous
brake control on a slippery road surface,
a warning buzzer will sound intermittent-
ly to warn the driver. If driving continues
in spite of the buzzer and the tempera-
ture in the braking system increases fur-
ther, the indication lamp will illumi-
nate, the warning

buzzer will sound con-
tinuously for approximately 3 seconds,
and active traction control function oper-
ation will be suspended to protect the brak-
ing system. (Normal operation of the vehi-
cle will not be affected.) If the vehicle is
stopped and the indication lamp goes
off, the active

traction control function
will start operating again.
Active traction control function indication lamp E00614200127
The indication lamp (1) should illuminate when
the ignition switch

is turned to the “ON” position
and should go off after a few seconds.
If the indication lamp stays on or does not illumi-
nate when the ignition switch is turned to the “ON”
position, we recommend you to have your vehicle
inspected. When the active Traction Control System operates,
the
active
traction

control function indication lamp
(1) blinks and the indication lamp for the wheel (2)
being subjected to antispin control also blinks. Example indication: Active traction control func-
tion controlling front-right wheel
NOTE l In
the event

of a fault in the Active Stability
Control function, the and indication
lamps illuminate. As

a result, an indication
of the active traction control function is limi-
ted to flashing of the indication lamp for the
wheel (2) being subjected to antispin control. Starting and driving

tion lamp in the meter cluster will come on.
NOTE
l If
the cruise
control is on when the ignition
switch is turned to the “LOCK” or “ACC” po-
sition, cruise control will be on automatically
the next time you start the engine. The
“CRUISE” indication lamp will also be on.
l If the battery voltage is insufficient, the mem-
ory data for the cruise control may be erased.
As a result, the “CRUISE” indication lamp
may not come on when you restart the engine.
If this happens, press the “ON OFF” switch
once again to turn on the cruise control. 2. Accelerate or
decelerate
to your desired
speed, then press and release the “COAST
SET” switch (B) when the “CRUISE” indica-
tion lamp is illuminated. The vehicle will
then maintain the desired speed. NOTE
l When
you release

the “COAST SET”
switch, the vehicle speed will be set.
To increase the set speed E00609400482
There are 2 ways to increase the set speed.
“ACC RES” switch
Press and hold

the “ACC RES” switch (C) while
driving at the set speed, and your speed will then
gradually increase. When you reach your desired speed, release the
switch. Your new cruising speed is now set.
To increase your speed in small amounts, press the
“ACC RES”
switch

for less than about 1 second
and release it.
Each time you press the “ACC RES” switch, your
vehicle will go about 1.6 km/h (1 mph) faster. Starting and driving
