Starting the Engine
Keep your foot firmly on the brake pedal when
starting the engine.
The engine is harder to start in cold weather and
in thinner air found at altitudes above 8,000 feet
(2,400 meters).
When starting the engine in cold weather, turn
off all electrical accessories (the lights, heating
and cooling system, and rear defogger) in order to
reduce battery drain.
If you live in a region where winter is extremely
cold, an engine block heater will improve starting
and warming of the engine. If temperatures
consistently below -22°F (-30°C) are expected, the
coolant mixture should be changed to a higher
concentration to prevent freezing. Consult a dealer
for details.
If the exhaust system sounds abnormal or you
can smell exhaust gas inside the vehicle, have
your vehicle checked by a dealer. There may be a
problem with the engine or exhaust system.
Brake Pedal
1. Make sure the parking brake is applied.
2. Check that the shift lever is in P
, then
depress the brake pedal.
Although it is possible to start the vehicle
in
N, it is safer to start it in P.

Shift Lever Operation
NOTICE
When you change the shift lever from D to R and
vice versa, come to a complete stop and keep the
brake pedal depressed.
Operating the shift lever before the vehicle has
come to a complete standstill can damage the
transmission.
Use the shift lever position indicator to check the
lever position before pulling away.
Whichever position the shift lever is in when driving,
a blinking
D indicator indicates a transmission
problem.
Avoid sudden acceleration and have the
transmission checked by a dealer as soon as
possible.
The fuel supply may be cut off if you drive at engine
speeds in or over the tachometer’s red zone (engine
speed limit). If this happens, you may experience a
slight jolt.
It may not be possible to operate the shift lever
if the brake pedal is applied while the shift lever
release button is held down.
Depress the brake pedal first.
