The engine coolant temperature display “ ” in the multi-infor- mation display is flashing. Steam comes out of the engine compartment. Type 1 Type 2
The engine is overheated. Carefully stop the vehicle in a safe place.
P.8-4
The vehicle is stuck in sand, mud, or snow.
Rock your vehicle back and forth to free it. P.8-15
WA R N I N G When attempting to rock your vehicle out of
a stuck position, be sure that no one is
near the vehicle. The rocking motion may c
ause the vehicle to
suddenly lurch forward or backward, possibly injuring bystanders. Avoid revving the engine or spinning the
wheels. Prolonged efforts to free a stuck ve
hicle may result in overheating and transa
xle failure.
If the vehicle remains stuck after several rocking at
tempts, have a towing service pull the vehicle out.

 Do not operate the starter motor continu- ously for longer than 15 seconds as thiscould 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 turningwill damage the starter mechanism.
 If the engine will not start because the bat- tery is weak or discharged, refer to “Jump-starting the engine” on page 8-2 for instructions. [Except for vehicles equipped with the turbocharger] The engine is warmed up enough for driv-ing when the bar graph of engine coolant temperature display starts to move. A lon- ger warm up period will only consumeextra fuel. [For vehicles equipped with the turbo- charger] The engine is warmed up enough for driv-ing when the bar graph of engine coolant temperature display starts to move. Driv- ing before the bar graph moves may causedeterioration of turbocharger performance and driveability. A longer warm up period will only consume extra fuel. On vehicles equipped with the Twin Clutch SST, the following may occur after the engine is started, but they do not indi-cate an abnormality. • You may hear operational sounds of the Twin Clutch SST and you may feelvibration in the vehicle body. • If you shift the gearshift lever into the “N” (NEUTRAL) position and depressthe accelerator pedal, increases in the engine speed will be limited.

CAUTION Carry the key with you when leaving the vehicle.
 If your vehicle needs to be towed, turn the ignition switch to the “ACC” position to unlock the steering wheel.NOTE
 If the front wheels are turned, the anti-theft lock may sometimes make it difficult to turn the ignition switch from “LOCK” to “ACC”position. Firmly turn the steering wheel to the left or to the right as you turn the ignition switch.

Starting the engine The vehicle is equipped with an electronically controlled fuel injection system. This is a sys-tem that automatically controls the fuel injec- tion. 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 secondsbetween attempts to restart the engine. 1. Make sure all occupants are properly seated with seat belts fastened. 2. Make sure the parking brake is applied.
3. While pushing the lock release buttons (A), remove the cover of the ignition switch. 4. Insert the emergency key into 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. Car- bon monoxide gas, which is odorless and extremely poisonous, could build up andcause 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 startermotor.

[Except for vehicles equipped with the F. A . S . T. - k e y ] Your vehicle is equipped with an electroni-cally controlled fuel injection system, which
automatically controls the release of fuel. There is usually no need to depress the accel- erator pedal when starting the engine. The starter should not be run for more than 15seconds 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. Insert the ignition key. 3. Make sure the parking brake is applied.4. Press and hold the brake pedal down withyour right foot. 5. Press and hold the clutch pedal all the way down (manual transaxle).

Turbocharger operation (if so equipped)
Features and controls 5-59

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.
