Turn the emergency key to the “LOCK” posi- tion. Turn the steering wheel until it is locked. Turn the emergency key to the “ACC” posi- tion while moving the steering wheel slightly. Tips for starting
 Do not operate the starter motor continu- ously for longer than 15 seconds as this could run the battery down or damage the starter motor. If the engine does not start,turn the emergency key back to the “LOCK” position, wait a few seconds, and then try again. Trying repeatedly withthe 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 the engine coolant temperature displaystarts to move. Refer to “Interrupt display screen (With ignition switch in the “ON” position)” on page 5-101.
Starting the engine Your vehicle is equipped with an electroni-cally controlled fuel injection system. This is a system that automatically controls the fuel injection. There is no need to depress theaccelerator pedal when starting the engine. The starter motor 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. Make sure the parking brake is applied. 3. While pushing the lock release buttons (A), remove the cover of the ignitionswitch.

Whether the vehicle is stationary or in motion, sports mode is selected by pushing
the selector lever from the “D” (DRIVE) position into the manual gate (1). To return to “D” (DRIVE) operation, push the selector lever back into the main gate (2).In sports mode, rapid shifting is possible sim- ply by operating the selector lever or spor- tronic steering wheel paddle shifter.Unlike the manual transaxle, sports mode allows shifting with the accelerator pedal depressed.
CAUTION To prevent transmission damage, never shift into the “D” (DRIVE) position from the “R” (REVERSE) position while
the vehicle is in
motion.
“L” LOW (except for vehicles with manual gate)

WA R N I N G This position can be used for maximum engine braking.Be very careful not to shift into “L” (LOW) suddenly. Sudden engine braking may cause the tires to skid.Select this position according to the road conditions and vehicle speed.

While driving with the selector lever in the “D” (DRIVE), sports mode can be selected by pulling one of the sportronic steeringwheel shifters toward you. In sports mode, rapid
shifting is possible sim-
ply by operating the sportronic steering wheelpaddle shifter.Unlike the manual transaxle, sports mode allows shifting with the accelerator pedal depressed.
NOTE
 The upward shift may be made automatically in sports mode when the engine revolutions rises and approaches the tachometer’s red zone (the red-colored part of the tachometer dial).  Shift ranges can only be selected in a for- ward direction from 1st to 6th. To reverse orpark the vehicle, move the selector lever to the “R” or “P” position.  To maintain good running performance, the transmission may refuse to perform an upshift when the selector lever or sportronicsteering wheel paddle shifter is moved to the “+(SHIFT UP)” positi
on at certain vehicle
speeds. Also, to prevent over-revving of theengine, the transmission may refuse to per- form a downshift when the shift lever or sportronic steering wheel paddle shifter ismoved to the “- (SHIFT DOWN)” position at certain vehicle speeds. When this happens, a buzzer sounds to indicate that a downshift isnot going to take place.  Move the selector lever gently between the manual and main gates and between posi- tions in the manual gate. And do not operate sportronic steering wheel paddle shifter vio-lently. Excessive force could damage the selector lever or sportronic steering wheel paddle shifter.
Except for vehicles with manual gate
NOTE
 To return to “D” (DRIVE) operation, pull the sportronic steering wheel paddle shifter on the +(UP) side for longer than 2 seconds, orpark the vehicle to change the selector lever position indicator to “D” (DRIVE) and return to “D” (DRIVE) operation.  When the sportronic steering wheel paddle shifter is operated with the selector lever inthe “L” (LOW) position, gear is not shifted because the selectable shift range is limited.
+ (SHIFT UP) Transmission shifts up once by each opera- tion. - (SHIFT DOWN) Transmission shifts down once by each operation.

Sports mode display

NOTE
 While driving in sports mode, the sports mode display may change to show “D” and shifting in sports mode may no longer be possible.This indicates that controls to drive in the “D” position are operating normally in order to lower the temperature of the continuouslyvariable transmission (CVT) fluid; it does not indicate a malfunction. Once the temper- ature of the continuously variable transmis-sion (CVT) fluid drops, shifting in the sports mode will be possible again.
Operation of the CVT

CAUTION Before selecting a position with the engine running and the vehicle stationary, fully depress the brake pedal to prevent the vehi- cle from creeping.Do not release the brakes until you are ready to drive away. The vehicle will begin to move as soon as the CVT is engaged, espe-cially when the engine speed is high (fast idle or air conditioning on). Depress the brake pedal with the right foot. Using the left foot could cause driver move- ment delay in case of an emergency. To prevent sudden acceleration, never run the engine at high rpms when shifting fromthe “P” (PARK) or “N” (NEUTRAL) posi- tion. Operating the accelerator pedal while the other foot is resting on the brake pedal will affect braking efficiency and may cause pre-mature wear of brake pads. Use the selector lever in the correct shift position in accordance with driving condi- tions. Never coast downhill backward in the driv- ing shift position { “D” (DRIVE), “L” (LOW) or sports mode} or coast forward inthe “R” (REVERSE) position. Engine stopping and increased brake pedal and steering effort could lead to an accident.
