WA R N I N G Always keep the door
s tightly closed and
locked when driving. An unlocked doormay be accidentally
opened by a passen-
ger, especially by
a child who could fall

odorless gas that can
cause unconsciousness and even death. When opening and closing the liftgate, make sure that there are no people nearbyand be careful not to hit your head or pinch your hands, neck, etc.CAUTION Do not stand behind th
e exhaust pipe when
loading and unloading
luggage. Heat from
the exhaust could lead to burns.NOTE

“Free-hand Advanced
Security Transmitter
(F.A.S.T.-key): Starting and stopping theengine” on page 5-16. [Except for vehicles equipped with the Free-hand Advanced Se
curity Transmit-
ter (F.A.S.T.-key)]  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 “OFF”position, wait a few se
conds, and then try
again. Trying repeatedly with the engine or starter motor still turning will damagethe 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.  A longer warm up period will only con- sume extra fuel. The engine is warmed up enough for driving when the low coolant temperature indi
cator goes out.
Refer to “Low coolant temperature indi- cator” on page 5-71.
This model is equipped with an electronically controlled fuel injection system. This is a sys-tem that automatically controls fuel injection. There is usually no need to depress the accel- erator pedal when starting the engine.The starter 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.
CAUTION If the engine is stopped while driving, the brake servomechanism w
ill cease to function
and braking efficiency will deteriorate. Also, the power steering syst
em will not function
and it will require gr
eater manual effort to
operate the steering. Do not leave the key in
the “ON” position for
a long time when the engine is not running, doing so will cause th
e battery to be dis-
charged. Do not turn the key to the “START” position when the engine is running, doing so coulddamage the starter motor.

According to the conditions, the transmission will automatically shift to a lower gear ratio to achieve stronger engine braking. This mayhelp reduce your need to use the service brake.

As an additional safe
ty precaution, models
equipped with a conti
nuously variable trans-
mission have a shift-lo
ck device that holds
the selector lever in the “P” (PARK) position. To move the selector lever from the “P”(PARK) position to a
nother position, follow
the steps below. 1. Press and hold the brake pedal down. 2. Move the selector
lever to the desired
position.
The CVT selects an optimum ratio automati- cally when the selector lever is in the “D”(DRIVE) position, depe
nding on the speed of
the vehicle and the position of the accelerator pedal.

NOTE
 The selector lever cannot
be moved from “P”
(PARK) to another pos
ition if the ignition
switch is set to the “OFF” or “ACC” posi-tion, or if the key has been removed, or oper- ation mode is in “OFF”

Set the selector lever in the gate to operate.
WA R N I N G Always press the brake pedal when shift- ing the selector lever into a selector posi- tion from the “N”
(NEUTRAL) position.
When beginning to drive, do not shift theselector lever from
the “N” (NEUTRAL)
position while pressing the accelerator pedal. This will cause the vehicle to“jump” forward or backward.NOTE
 To prevent mistakes in operating the lever, make sure you stop brie
fly at each position.
After operating, check the position in the multi-information display.  If the brake pedal is not
depressed and held,
the shift-lock device activates to prevent theselector lever from being moved from the “P” (PARK) position.  For a shift indicated by in the illustra- tion, depress the brake pedal before moving the selector lever. If you attempt to move theselector lever before
depressing the brake
pedal, the selector
lever may not move.
