[For vehicles equipped with the Free-hand Advanced Secu-
rity Transmitter (F.A.S.T.-key).]
For information on operation for vehicles equipped with the
Free-hand Advanced Security Transmitter (F.A.S.T.-key), refer
to “Free-hand Advanced Security Transmitter (F.A.S.T.-key):
Starting” on page3-16.
[Except for vehicles equipped with the Free-hand
Advanced Security Transmitter (F.A.S.T.-key).]Tips for startingDo 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 ignition switch 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 engine coolant temperature display starts to
move. Refer to “Interrupt display screen (When the igni-
tion switch is in the “ON” position)” on page 3-178.
CAUTION
!Remove the key when leaving the vehicle.
