Tips for starting l The

operation mode can be in any mode to
start the engine. l
The
starter motor will be turning for up to ap-
proximately 15 seconds if the engine switch
is released at once. Pressing the engine
switch again while the starter motor is still
turning will stop the starter motor. The start-
er motor will be turning for up to approxi-
mately 30 seconds while the engine switch is
pressed.
If the engine does not start, wait for a while
and then attempt to start the engine again. Try-
ing repeatedly with the starter motor still run-
ning will damage the starter mechanism.
l [Diesel-powered vehicles]
While the vehicle is stationary with the
clutch pedal fully depressed, the engine revo-
lutions do not rise to over 3,000 rpm in order
to protect the engine even if the accelerator
pedal is depressed. WARNING
l Never
run the engine in a closed or poor-
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. Locking and unlocking

Using the MIVEC engine*
The
MIVEC engine automatically switches its in-
take-valve control between a low-speed mode and
a high-speed mode in accordance with driving con-
ditions for maximum engine performance.
NOTE
l To protect the engine, the high-speed mode
may not be selected while the engine coolant
temperature is low.
Stopping the engine E00312600023WARNING
l Do
not operate the engine switch while
driving except in an emergency. If the en-
gine 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 man-
ual effort to operate the steering. This
could result in a serious accident.
NOTE l If

you have to bring the engine to an emergen-
cy stop while driving, press and hold the en-
gine switch for 3 seconds or more, or press it
quickly 3 times or more. The engine will
stop and the operation mode will go to ACC. l
Do not stop the engine with the selector lever
in

any position other than the “P” (PARK) po-
sition (CVT). If the engine is stopped with
the selector lever in any position other than
the “P” (PARK) position, the operation
mode will go to ACC rather than OFF.
Put the operation mode in OFF after placing
the selector lever in the “P” (PARK) position.
1. Stop the vehicle.
2. Fully engage the parking brake while depress- ing the brake pedal.
3. On vehicles with M/T, press the engine switch to stop the engine, move the gearshift
lever to the 1 st
(on a uphill) or “R” (Reverse)
(on a downhill) position.
On vehicles with CVT, move the selector lev-
er to the “P” (PARK) position, press the en-
gine switch to stop the engine.
If the keyless operation key is not oper-
ating properly E00312500093
Insert the keyless operation key into the key slot in
the

glove box. Starting the engine and changing the
operation mode should now be possible. Remove the keyless operation key from the key
slot

after starting the engine or changing the opera-
tion mode. NOTE
l Do

not insert into the key slot anything other
than the keyless operation key. This could
cause damage or a malfunction.
l Remove the object or additional key from the
the keyless operation key before inserting the
key into the key slot.
The vehicle may not be able to receive the
registered ID code from the registered key.
Therefore, the engine may not start and the
operation mode may not change.

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 switch back to
“LOCK”, wait a few seconds, and then try
again. Trying repeatedly with the starter mo-
tor still turning will damage the starter mech-
anism.

NOTE
l If
the engine is cold, the diesel preheat indi-
cation lamp is on for a longer time.
l When the engine has not been started within
about 5 seconds after the diesel preheat indi-
cation lamp went out, return the ignition key
to the “LOCK” position. Then, turn the key
to the “ON” position to preheat the engine
again.
l When the engine is warm, the diesel preheat
indication lamp does not come on even if the
ignition key is placed in the “ON” position.
Start the engine by turning the ignition key
right to the “START” position.
7. Turn the ignition key to the “START” posi- tion without depressing the accelerator pedal,
and release it when the engine starts.

up. These will disappear as the engine warms
up.
Using the MIVEC engine*
The MIVEC engine automatically switches its in-

NOTE l To protect the engine, the high-speed mode

ess (diesel-powered vehicles)
E00627900043
To
keep exhaust emissions and engine noise low,
the engine very occasionally performs a learning
process for the fuel injection amount.
The engine sounds slightly different from usual
while the learning process is taking place. The
change in the engine sound does not indicate a fault. Diesel particulate filter (DPF)*
E00619800245
The
diesel particulate filter (DPF) is a device that
captures most of the particulate matter (PM) in the
exhaust emissions of the diesel engine. The DPF au-
tomatically burns away trapped PM during vehicle
operation. Under certain driving conditions, howev-
er, the DPF is not able to burn away all of the trap-
ped PM and, as a result, an excessive amount of
PM accumulates inside it. WARNING
l The DPF reaches very high temperatures.
Do

not park your vehicle in areas where
combustible materials such as dry grass
or leaves can come in contact with a hot
exhaust system since a fire could occur. CAUTION
l
Do
not use any type of fuel or engine oil
that is not specified for your vehicle. Al-
so, do not use any moisture-removing
agent or other fuel additive. Such substan-
ces could have a detrimental effect on the
DPF.
Refer to “Fuel selection” on page 02 and
“Engine oil” on page 8-04.
NOTE l To

minimize the likelihood of excessive ac-
cumulation of PM, try to avoid driving for
long periods at low speeds and repeatedly
driving short distances. Starting and driving
