to start from a stand-still even with the selec- tor lever (CVT) or the gearshift lever (Twin Clutch SST) in the “D” (DRIVE) position. This phenomenon occurs because the trans-axle has not warmed up sufficiently; it does not indicate a problem. If it occurs, place the selector lever (CVT) or the gearshift lever(Twin Clutch SST) in the “P” (PARK) posi- tion and let the engine idle for at least 10 min- utes.The transaxle will warm up, and you will beable to start normally. Do not leave the vehicle during warm-up operation.

1. Bring the vehicle to a complete stop. 2. Fully engage the parking brake whiledepressing the brake pedal.
3. For vehicles equipped with a manual transaxle, turn the ignition switch to the “LOCK” position to stop the engine, and then move the gearshift lever to the 1st(on a uphill) or “R”
(Reverse) (on a down-
hill) position. For vehicles equipped with continuouslyvariable transmission (CVT) or Twin Clutch SST, place the selector lever (CVT) or the gearshift lever (Twin ClutchSST) in the “P” (PARK) position, andthen turn the ignition switch to the “LOCK” position to stop the engine.
Idle speed in high altitude area Stopping the engine
NOTE
 For vehicles equipped with Twin Clutch SST, the engine will stop and the vehicle power will turn off approximately 1 second after the ignition switch is turned to the “LOCK” position. The reason for this is that, in the time from when the ignition switch is turned to the“LOCK” position until the engine stops, the gears inside the Twin Clutch SST disengage so that the engine will start smoothly thenext time it is started. Two clutches installed in the Twin Clutch SST alternately engage and disengage toachieve smooth shifting. In addition, the gear on the side with the free clutch is engaged, therefore, quick shifting isperformed. If the engine was stopped with the gear engaged like this, it would provide resistancethe next time the engine is started. Therefore, the gear disengages in the approximately 1- second period until the engine stops.  For vehicles equipped with Twin Clutch SST, do not operate the gearshift lever or theaccelerator pedal for approximately 1 second until the engine stops.

N00537300064
The turbocharger increases engine power by pushing large amounts of air into the engine’s cylinders. The finned parts inside the turbo-charger turn at extremely high speeds and are subjected to extremely high temperatures. They are lubricated by engine oil and cooledby engine oil and coolant. If the engine oil is not replaced at the specified intervals, the bearings may seize or emit abnormal noise.
N00512700113
The shift pattern below is shown on the gear-shift lever. Press the clutch pedal all the waydown while shifting gears.
 For vehicles equipped with Twin Clutch SST, if the temperature inside the engine compartment is high, the cooling fans (A) will continue to operate for some time even if the engine is stopped.Therefore, the operation sound of the cooling fans may be heard even after the engine is stopped. This sound is normal and does notindicate a malfunction. After operating for a period of time, the cool- ing fans will stop automatically.* : Front of the vehicleNOTE

CAUTION Do not run the engine at high speeds (for example, by revving it or by acceleratingrapidly) immediately after starting it. Do not stop the engine immediately after high-speed or uphill driv
ing. First allow the
engine to idle to give the turbocharger a chance to cool down. Engine oil must be properly maintained to avoid engine and/or turbocharger damage.To better protect your engine and turbo- charger, use fully synthetic engine oil.
