Starting the diesel engine
To start the diesel engine when the
engine is cold, it has to be pre-heat-
ed before starting the engine and
then have to be warmed up before
starting to drive.
1.Make sure the parking brake is
applied.
2.Manual Transaxle -Depress the
clutch pedal fully and shift the
transaxle into Neutral. Keep the
clutch pedal and brake pedal
depressed whilst turning the igni-
tion switch to the start position.
Automatic Transaxle -Place the
transaxle shift lever in P(park).
Depress the brake pedal fully.
You can also start the engine when
the shift lever is in the N(neutral)
position.
3.Turn the ignition switch to the ON
position to pre-heat the engine.
Then the glow indicator light will
illuminate.
4.If the glow indicator light goes out,
turn the ignition switch to the
START position and hold it there
until the engine starts (a maximum
of 10 seconds), then release the
key.
✽ NOTICE
If the engine does not start within 10
seconds after the preheating is com-
pleted, turn the ignition key once
more to the LOCK position for 10
seconds, and then to the ON posi-
tion, in order to preheat again.
Starting and stopping the engine for
turbocharger intercooler
1.Do not race or accelerate the
engine immediately after starting.
If the engine is cold, idle for sever-
al seconds before sufficient lubri-
cation is ensured in the tur-
bocharger unit.
2.After high speed or extended driv-
ing, requiring a heavy engine load,
run the engine on idle condition
about 1 minute before turning it off.
This idle time will allow the tur-
bocharger to cool prior to shutting
the engine off.
CAUTION
Do not turn off the engine imme-
diately after it has been subject-
ed to a heavy load. Doing so
may cause severe damage to
the engine or turbo charger unit.

Driving your vehicle
Starting the engineWARNING
• Never press the engine
start/stop button whilst the
vehicle is in motion. This
would result in loss of direc-
tional control and braking
function, which could cause
an accident.
• The anti-theft steering column
lock is not a substitute for the
parking brake. Before leaving
the driver's seat, always make
sure the shift lever is engaged
in P (Park), set the parking
brake fully and shut the
engine off. Unexpected and
sudden vehicle movement
may occur if these precau-
tions are not taken.
(Continued)
(Continued)
• Never reach for the engine
start/ stop button or any other
controls through the steering
wheel whilst the vehicle is in
motion. The presence of your
hand or arm in the area could
cause loss of vehicle control,
an accident and serious bodi-
ly injury or death.
• Do not place any movable
objects around the driver's
seat as they may move whilst
driving, interfere with the driv-
er and lead to an accident.
WARNING
• Always wear appropriate
shoes when operating your
vehicle. Unsuitable shoes
(high heels, ski boots,etc.)
may interfere with your ability
to use the brake, accelerator
and clutch pedal.
• Do not start the vehicle with
the accelerator pedal
depressed. The vehicle can
move and lead to an accident.
• Wait until the engine rpm is
normal. The vehicle may sud-
denly move if the brake padel
is released when the rpm is
high.

• If the battery is weak or the smart
key does not work correctly, you
can start the engine by pressing
the engine start/stop button with
the smart key.
The side with the lock button
should contact the engine
start/stop button directly. When
you press the engine start/stop
button directly with the smart key,
the smart key should contact the
button at a right angle.
(Continued)(Continued)
• When the stop lamp fuse is blown,
you cannot start the engine nor-
mally.
Replace the fuse with a new one. If
it is not possible, you can start the
engine by pressing the engine
start/ stop button for 10 seconds
whilst it is in the ACC position.
The engine can start without
depressing the brake pedal. But
for your safety always depress the
brake pedal and clutch pedal (if
equipped) before starting the
engine.

CAUTION
If the engine stalls whilst the
vehicle is in motion, do not
attempt to move the shift lever
to the P (Park) position. If the
traffic and road conditions per-
mit, you may put the shift lever
in the N (Neutral) position whilst
the vehicle is still moving and
press the engine start/stop but-
ton in an attempt to restart the
engine.

Manual transaxle operation
• The manual transaxle has 6 for-
ward gears.
This shift pattern is imprinted on
the shift knob. The transaxle is fully
synchronized in all forward gears
so shifting to either a higher or a
lower gear is easily accomplished.
• Depress the clutch pedal down
fully whilst shifting, then release it
slowly.
If your vehicle is equipped with an
ignition lock switch, the engine will
not start when starting the engine
without depressing the clutch
pedal.
• The shift lever must return to the
neutral position before shifting into
R (Reverse). The button located
immediately below the shift knob
must be pushed upward whilst
moving the shift lever to the R
(Reverse) position.
•
Make sure the vehicle is completely
stopped before shifting into R
(Reverse).
Never operate the engine with the
tachometer (rpm) in the red zone.
MANUAL TRANSAXLE (IF EQUIPPED)
ODM052010
The button must be pushed whilst mov-
ing the shift lever. The shift lever can be moved without
pushing the button.
CAUTION
• When downshifting from 5
(Fifth) gear to 4 (Fourth) gear,
caution should be taken not to
inadvertently move the shift
lever sideways in such a man-
ner that second gear is
engaged. Such a drastic
downshift may cause the
engine speed to increase to
the point that the tachometer
will enter the red-zone. Such
over-revving of the engine
may possibly cause engine
and transaxle damage.
• Do not downshift more than 2
gears or downshift the gear
when the engine is running at
high speed (5,000 RPM or
higher). Such a downshifting
may damage the engine,
clutch and the transaxle.

• During cold weather, shifting may
be difficult until the transaxle lubri-
cant has warmed up. This is nor-
mal and not harmful to the
transaxle.
• If you've come to a complete stop
and it's hard to shift into 1 (First) or
R (Reverse), put the shift lever in
neutral position and release the
clutch. Press the clutch pedal back
down, and then shift into 1 (First)
or R (Reverse) gear position.CAUTION
• To avoid premature clutch
wear and damage, do not
drive with your foot resting on
the clutch pedal. Also, don’t
use the clutch to hold the
vehicle stopped on an uphill
grade, whilst waiting for a traf-
fic light, etc.
• Do not use the shift lever as a
handrest during driving, as
this can result in premature
wear of the transaxle shift
forks.
• When operating the clutch
pedal, press the clutch pedal
down fully. If you don't press
the clutch pedal fully, the
clutch may be damaged or
noise may occur.
• To prevent possible damage
to the clutch system, do not
start with the 2nd(second)
gear engaged except when
you start on a slippery road.
WARNING
• Before leaving the driver’s
seat, always set the parking
brake fully and shut the engine
off. Then make sure the
transaxle is shifted into 1
(First) gear when the vehicle is
parked on a level or uphill
grade, and shifted into R
(Reverse) on a downhill grade.
Unexpected and sudden vehi-
cle movement can occur if
these precautions are not fol-
lowed in the order identified.
• If your vehicle has a manual
transaxle not equipped with a
ignition lock switch, it may
move and cause a serious acci-
dent when starting the engine
without depressing the clutch
pedal whilst the parking brake
is released and the shift lever
not in the neutral position.
• Do not use the engine brake
(shifting from a high gear to
lower gear) rapidly on slippery
roads. The vehicle may slip
causing an accident.

Automatic transaxle operation
The highly efficient automatic
transaxle has 6 forward speeds and
one reverse speed. The individual
speeds are selected automatically,
depending on the position of the shift
lever.
✽NOTICE
The first few shifts on a new vehicle,
if the battery has been disconnected,
may be somewhat abrupt. This is a
normal condition, and the shifting
sequence will adjust after shifts are
cycled a few times by the TCM
(Transaxle Control Module) or
PCM (Powertrain Control Module).

of the vehicle.)
