The emergency key is built into the F.A.S.T.-key.
When the F.A.S.T.-key cannot be used, such as when the bat-
tery of the F.A.S.T.-key or the vehicle has run down, the emer-
gency key can be used to lock and unlock the driver’s door and
to start the engine.
To use the emergency key (1), unlock the lock knob (2) and
remove it from the F.A.S.T.-key (3).
NOTE
Only use the emergency key in an emergency. When the
battery of the F.A.S.T.-key has run down, replace the bat-
tery as soon as possible and use it as a F.A.S.T.-key again.

After using the emergency key, be sure to reinsert it into
the F.A.S.T.-key.
To lock or unlock the driver’s door with the emergency key
Turn the emergency key toward the front of the vehicle to lock
the door. After checking that the door is locked, turn the emer-
gency key back to the center and remove it.1- Insert or remove the emergency key

To turn from “ACC” to “LOCK”
1. [For vehicles with manual transaxle]
Push the emergency key in at the “ACC” position and
keep it depressed until it is turned to the “LOCK” posi-
tion, and remove.
[For vehicles with continuously variable transmission
(CVT) or Twin Clutch SST]
First, set the selector lever (CVT) or the gearshift lever
(Twin Clutch SST) to the “P” (PARK) position, and then
slowly turn the ignition switch to the “LOCK” position
while pressing it.NOTE
For vehicles with CVT or Twin Clutch SST, the emer-
gency key cannot be removed unless the selector lever
(CVT) or the gearshift lever (Twin Clutch SST) is set to
the “P” (PARK) position.2. Install the cover of the ignition switch.
3. Reinsert the emergency key into the F.A.S.T.-key.
NOTE
Always install the cover of the ignition switch when not
using the emergency key. Not doing so could cause dam-
age if foreign material such as dust gets into the keyhole
of the ignition switch.
CAUTION
!
Do not turn the ignition switch to the LOCK posi-
tion while the vehicle is moving. This will cause the
steering wheel to lock, making it impossible to oper-
ate the vehicle.
If the engine is stopped while driving, the power
brake booster will stop functioning and greater
effort for braking will be required. Also, the power
steering system will not function and it will require
greater effort to manually steer the vehicle.
Do not leave the ignition switch in the “ON” position
for a long time when the engine is not running. The
battery will run down.
Do not turn the ignition switch to the “START”
position when the engine is running. It will damage
the starter motor.

Turn the steering wheel until it is locked.
To u n l o c k
Turn the emergency key to the “ACC” position while moving
the steering wheel slightly.

sometimes make it difficult to turn the emergency key
from “LOCK” to “ACC”. Firmly turn the steering wheel
to the left or to the right as you turn the emergency 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 emergency key 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 the engine coolant temperature display starts to
move. Refer to “Interrupt display screen (With ignition
switch in the “ON” position)” on page 3-194.

On vehicles equipped with the Twin Clutch SST, the fol-
lowing may occur after the engine is started, but they do
not indicate an abnormality.
• You may hear operational sounds of the Twin Clutch
SST and you may feel vibration in the vehicle body.
• If you shift the gearshift lever into the “N” (NEUTRAL)
position and depress the accelerator pedal, increases in
the engine speed will be limited.
CAUTION
!
Remove the emergency key when leaving the vehi-
cle.
If your vehicle needs to be towed, turn the emer-
gency key to the “ACC” position to unlock the steer-
ing wheel.

Starting the engine
Your vehicle is equipped with an electronically controlled fuel
injection system. This is a system that automatically controls
the fuel injection. There is no need to depress the accelerator
pedal when starting the engine.
The starter motor 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. While pushing the lock release buttons (A), remove the
cover of the ignition switch.
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 emergency key as soon as the engine
starts. It will damage the starter motor.

!
Make sure all doors are tightly closed and locked
while driving.
• Locked doors, in combination with the use of seat
belts, can help reduce the risk of ejection in an
accident.
• Locked doors can help keep passengers, especially
small children, from opening doors and falling out
of moving vehicles.
• Locked doors can help prevent outsiders from
gaining access to your vehicle when you slow or
come to a stop.

Lock your vehicle whenever you leave it. Children
who get into unlocked vehicles may not be able to
get out. Children trapped inside vehicles can quickly
be overcome by heat and suffer serious injury or
death due to heat stroke.
Never leave children unattended inside a vehicle. In
addition to the risk of heat stroke, children can acti-
vate switches and controls, resulting in an injury or
fatal accident.
