BEFORE STARTING THE EN- GINE
C020A02A-AAT Before you start the engine, you should always:
1. Look around the vehicle to be sure
there are no flat tires, puddles of oil, water or other indications of pos- sible trouble.
2. After entering the car, check to be sure the parking brake is engaged.
3. Check that all windows, and lights are clean.
4. Check that the interior and exterior
mirrors are clean and in position.
5. Check your seat, seatback and headrest to be sure they are in theirproper positions.
6. Lock all the doors.
7. Fasten your seat belt and be sure
that all other occupants have fas- tened theirs.
8. Turn off all lights and accessories
that are not needed.
9. When you turn the ignition switch to "ON", check that all appropriatewarning lights are operating andthat you have sufficient fuel.
10.Check the operation of warning
lights and all bulbs when key is inthe "ON" position.
!WARNING:
To ensure that sufficient vacuum exists within the brake system dur-ing cold weather start-up condi- tions, it is necessary to run the engine at idle for several secondsafter starting the engine.
WARNING:
Always wear appropriate shoes when operating your vehicle. Unsuitable shoes (high heels, ski boots,etc.)may interfere with your ability to use the brake and accelerator pedal, and the clutch (if installed).!WARNING:
Driving while distracted can result in a loss of vehicle control, that may lead to an accident, severe personal
injury, and death. The driver’s pri-mary responsibility is in the safe and legal operation of a vehicle, and use of any handheld devices, otherequipment, or vehicle systems which take the driver’s eyes, attention and focus away from the safe operationof a vehicle or which are not permis- sible by law should never be used during operation of the vehicle.

!WARNING:
o When you intend to park or stop the vehicle with the engine on, be careful not to depress the accel- erator pedal for a long period oftime. It may overheat the engine or exhaust system and cause fire.
o When you make a sudden stop or
turn the steering wheel rapidly,loose objects may drop on the floor and it could interfere with theoperation of the foot pedals, pos- sibly causing an accident. Keep all things in the vehicle safelystored.
o If you do not focus on driving, it
may cause an accident. Be carefulwhen operating what may disturb driving such as audio or heater. It is the responsibility of the driverto always drive safely.

C055B01HR-GAT STARTING AND STOPPING THE ENGINE FOR TURBO CHARGERINTERCOOLER (Diesel Engine)
(1) Do not race, accelerate suddenly,
or accelerate immediately the en- gine after starting it. If the engine iscold, allow the engine to idle for several seconds before it is driven to ensure sufficient lubrication ofthe turbo charger unit. WARNING:
Be sure that the clutch is fully de- pressed when starting a manual transmission vehicle. Otherwisethere is the potential to cause dam- age to the vehicle or injury to some- one inside or outside the vehicle asa result of the forward or backward movement of the vehicle that will occur if the clutch is not depressedwhen the vehicle is started.
5. Turn the ignition key to the "START" position and release it when the engine starts.

NOTE: If the engine were not started within 10 seconds after the preheating is completed, turn the ignition key oncemore to the "LOCK" position, and then to the "ON" position, in order to preheat again. Amber lamp ON Amber lamp OFF
C051A01O-GAT STARTING FOR THE DIESEL ENGINE ENGINE COLD
o Turn the ignition key to position
"ON" and wait for the pre-heat indi- cator light to go out.
o Operate the starter until the engine
runs.
ENGINE WARM Operate the starter. If the engine does not respond on the first attempt, wait several seconds and try again usingthe pre-heat. C050B01HR-GAT NORMAL CONDITIONS The Starting Procedure:
1. Insert key, and fasten the seat belt.
2. Depress the clutch pedal fully and place the gearshift lever in neutral.
3. After turning the ignition key to the
"ON" position, make certain all warn-ing lights and gauges are function- ing properly before starting the en- gine. 4. On vehicles equipped with the diesel
preheat indicator light, turn the igni-tion key to the "ON" position. The diesel pre-heat indicator light will first illuminate in amber, and then after ashort time, the amber illumination will go off, indicating that preheating is completed.

C070D02O-AAT Good Driving Practices
o Never take the car out of gear andcoast down a hill. This is extremely hazardous. Always leave the car in gear.
o Don't "ride" the brakes. This can cause them to overheat and mal-function. Instead, when you are driv- ing down a long hill, slow down andshift to a lower gear. When you do this, engine braking will help slow the car.
o Slow down before shifting to a lower gear. This will help avoid over-rev-ving the engine, which can causedamage.
o Slow down when you encounter
cross winds. This gives you muchbetter control of your car.
o Be sure the car is completely stopped
before you attempt to shift into re-verse. The transmission can be dam- aged if you do not. To shift into reverse, depress the clutch, movethe shift lever to neutral, wait three seconds, then shift to the reverse position.
o Exercise extreme caution when driv- ing on a slippery surface. Be espe-

C070B01A-AAT Using the Clutch The clutch should be pressed all the way to the floor before shifting, then released slowly. If your vehicle isequipped with an ignition lock switch, the engine will not start when starting the engine without depressing the clutchpedal. (if equipped) The clutch pedal should always be used after fully return- ing to the original position. Do not restyour foot on the clutch pedal while driving. This can cause unnecessary wear. Do not partially engage the clutchto hold the car on an incline. This causes unnecessary wear. Use the parking brake to hold the car on anincline. Do not operate the clutch pedal rapidly and repeatedly.
CAUTION:
When downshifting from fifth gear to fourth gear, caution should be taken not to inadvertently press the gear lever sideways in such a man-ner that second gear is engaged. Such a drastic downshift may cause the engine speed to increase to thepoint that the tachometer will enter the red-zone. Such over-revving of the engine may possibly cause en-gine damage.
!
!WARNING:
If your vehicle has a manual trans- mission not equipped with a ignition lock switch, it may move and causea serious accident when starting the engine without depressing the clutch pedal while the parking brake is re-leased and the shift lever not in the N (Neutral) position.

turn the front wheels away from the curb to help keep the car from roll-ing. If there is no curb or if it is required by other conditions to keep the carfrom rolling, block the wheels.
o Under some conditions your park-
ing brake can freeze in the engagedposition. This is most likely to hap- pen when there is an accumulation of snow or ice around or near therear brakes or if the brakes are wet. If there is a risk that the parking brake may freeze, apply it only tem-porarily while you put the gear se- lector lever in first or reverse gear and block the rear wheels so the carcannot roll. Then release the park- ing brake.
o Do not hold the vehicle on the up- grade with the accelerator pedal.This can cause the transmission to overheat. Always use the brakepedal or parking brake.DRIVING FOR ECONOMY
C140A01A-GAT You can save fuel and get more kilo- meters from your car if you follow these suggestions:
o Drive smoothly. Accelerate at a moderate rate. Don't make "jack- rabbit" starts or full-throttle shiftsand maintain a steady cruising speed. Don't race between stop- lights. Try to adjust your speed tothat of the other traffic so you don't have to change speeds unneces- sarily. Avoid heavy traffic wheneverpossible. Always maintain a safe distance from other vehicles so you can avoidunnecessary braking. This also re- duces brake wear.
o Drive at a moderate speed. The faster you drive, the more fuel yourcar uses. Driving at a moderate speed, especially on the highway, isone of the most effective ways to reduce fuel consumption.
o Don't "ride" the brake or clutch pedal. This can increase fuel consumptionand also increase wear on these components. In addition, driving withyour foot resting on the brake pedal may cause the brakes to overheat,
!WARNING:
Always, confirm the position of the brake and accelerator pedal before driving. If you don’t check the posi-tion of the accelerator and brake pedal before driving, you may de- press the accelerator instead of thebrake pedal. It may cause a serious accident.
CAUTION:
Do not operate the parking brakewhile the vehicle is moving except in an emergency situation. It could dam-age the vehicle system and make endanger driving safety.
