temperature of -22 °F (-30 °C) or lower When the ambient temperature is -22 °F (-30°C) or lower, it may not be possible to start from a standstill even wi
th the selector lever
in the “D” (DRIVE) position.This phenomenon occurs because the trans- axle has not warmed up sufficiently; it does
not indicate a problem.
If this occurs, place
the selector lever in the “P” (PARK) positionand let the engine idle
for at least 10 minutes.
The transaxle will wa
rm up, and you will be
able to start normally.Do not leave the vehicle during warm-up operation. The MIVEC engine automatically switches its intake-valve contro
l between a low-speed
mode and a high-speed mode in accordancewith driving conditions for maximum engine performance.
NOTE
 The engine can only be started when the selector lever is in the “P” (PARK) or “N” (NEUTRAL) position.For safety reasons,
the engine should be
started when the selector lever is in the “P” (PARK) position in which the driving wheelslock.NOTE
 Minor noises may be he
ard on engine start-
up. These will disappear
as the engine warms
up.
