The engine is warmed up enough for driv- ing when the bar graph of engine coolanttemperature display starts to move or the low coolant temperature indicator goes out. Refer to “Engine
coolant temperature
display” on page 5-128 or “Low coolant temperature indica
tor” on page 5-166.

there, then crank th
e engine. Release the
accelerator pedal, immediately after theengine starts.
3. If the engine still wi

Startability of the en
gine with an ambient
temperature of -22 °F (-30 °C) or lowerWhen 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 doesnot indicate a problem.
If this occurs, place
the selector lever in the “P” (PARK) position and 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

up. These will disappear
as the engine warms
up.

NOTE
 To protect the engine, the high-speed mode may not be selected wh
ile the engine coolant
temperature is low. In such a case, the enginerevolutions do not rise to over 5,000 rpm even if the accelerator pedal is depressed.
Stopping the engine

WA R N I N G Do not operate the en
gine switch while
driving except in an emergency. If theengine is stopped whil
e driving, the brake
servomechanism will ce
ase to function and
braking efficiency will deteriorate. Also, the power steering system will not func-tion and it will require greater manual effort to operate the steering. This could result in a serious accident.
