When the ambient temperature is -22 °F (-30 °C) or lower, it may not be possible to start from a standstill even with the selector lever in the “D” (DRIVE) or “R” (REVERSE)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 warm up, and you will beable to start normally. Do not leave the vehicle during warm-up operation.

Insert the F.A.S.T.-key into the key slot in theglove box. Starting the engine and changing the operation mode should be now possible. Remove the F.A.S.T.-key from the key slotafter starting the engine or changing the oper- ation mode.
Stopping the engine

WA R N I N G Do not operate the engine switch while driving except in an emergency. If theengine is stopped while
driving, the brake
servomechanism will cease 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.
NOTE
 If you have to bring the engine to an emer- gency stop while driving, press and hold the engine switch for 3 seco
nds or more, or press
it quickly 3 times or more. The engine will stop and the operation mode will go to ACC.  On vehicles equipped with continuously variable transmission (CVT), do not stop theengine with the selector lever in any position other than the “P” (PARK) position. If the engine is stopped with the selector lever inany position other than
the “P” (PARK) posi-
tion, the operation mode will go to ACC rather than OFF.Put the operation mode in OFF after placing the selector lever in the “P” (PARK) posi- tion.
If the F.A.S.T.-key is not operat- ing properly

NOTE
 Do not insert into the key slot anything other than the F.A.S.T.-key. This could cause dam-age or a malfunction.  Remove the object or additional key from the F.A.S.T.-key before inserting the key into the key slot. The vehicle may not be able to receive the registered ID code from the regis-tered key. Therefore, the engine may not start and the operation mode may not change.

For information on operation for vehicles equipped with the Free-hand Advanced Secu- rity Transmitter (F.A.S.T.-key), refer to “Free-hand Advanced Security Transmitter(F.A.S.T.-key): Starting and stopping the engine” on page 5-20. [Except for vehicles equipped with the Free-hand Advanced Security Transmitter(F.A.S.T.-key)]  Do not operate the starter motor continu- ously for longer than
15 seconds as this
could run the battery down or damage thestarter motor. If the engine does not start, turn the ignition switch back to the “OFF” position, wait a few seconds, and then tryagain. Trying repeatedly with the engine or starter motor still turning will 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.
 A longer warm up period will only con- sume extra fuel. The
engine is warmed up
enough for driving when the bar graph of engine coolant temperature display startsto move. Refer to “Interrupt display screen (With ignition switch or operation mode in ON)” on page 5-95.
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 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 downfirmly with your right foot.5. Press and hold the clutch pedal all the way down (manual transaxle). 6. On vehicles equipped with manual trans-axle, place the gearshift lever in the “N” (Neutral) position. On vehicles equipped with continuouslyvariable transmission (CVT), make sure the selector lever is in the “P” (PARK) position.
Tips for starting
WA R N I N G Never run the engine in a closed or poorly ventilated area any longer than is neededto 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 achance to warm up. Release the ignition switch as soon as the engine starts. Otherwise, the starter motor will be damaged.
Starting the engine
NOTE
 On vehicles equipped with CVT, the starter will not operate unless the selector lever is in the “P” (PARK) or “N” (NEUTRAL) posi- tion.For safety reasons, start the engine in the “P” (PARK) position so that the wheels are locked.

It is recommended that you downshift to a lower gear when needed to maintain thedesired speed, according to the table. Avoid downshifting at too high a speed. The engine may suffer damage.To maintain a safe speed and prolong brake life, shift down to 2nd or 1st when descend- ing a steep hill.Downshifting is also important to avoid “lug-ging” the engine at too low a speed, such as when turning a corner or when driving up a steep hill.
N00513100228
 Do not use the gearshift lever as a han- drest. This can result in premature wear ofthe transaxle shift forks.
 The table above shows the maximum rec- ommended driving speed for in each gear. Do not drive near or at these speeds for prolonged periods of time.
N00560200047
The CVT will automatically and continuouslychange its gear ratio depending on road anddriving conditions. This helps achieve smooth driving and excellent fuel efficiency. Also you can manually shift up and shift
down the transmission. Refer to “Sports mode” on page 5-55. The transmission prevents unnecessary upshifts even when the accelerator pedal is released and ensures smooth driving. According to the condi
tions, the transmission
will automatically shift to a lower gear ratio to achieve stronger engine braking. This may help reduce your need to use the servicebrake.
N00560300048
As an additional safe
ty precaution, models
equipped with a continuously variable trans- mission have a shift-lock device that holds the selector lever in the “P” (PARK) position.To move the selector lever from the “P” (PARK) position to another position, follow the steps below. 1. Press and hold the brake pedal down. 2. Move the selector lever to the desired position.
