s tightly closed and
locked when driving. An unlocked doormay be accidentally
opened by a passen-
ger, especially by
a child who could fall

someone being thrown
from the vehicle
in an accident.
Trunk lid
WA R N I N GIt is dangerous to drive with the trunk lid open since carbon mo
noxide (CO) gas can
enter the cabin. CO is an invisible, odor- less gas that can cause unconsciousness and even death. Do not allow children to have access to the trunk by climbing into the trunk fromoutside of the vehicl
e. Always close the
trunk lid when your vehicle is unattended. If trapped in the trunk, it is possible toescape from the trunk by using the inside emergency trunk re
lease lever. (See
“Inside emergency trunk lid release” onpage 5-28.)CAUTION Do not stand behind the exhaust pipe when loading and unloading
luggage. Heat from
the exhaust could lead to burns.

(F.A.S.T.-key): Starting and stopping the engine” 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 this could 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 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 upenough for driving when the low coolant temperature indicator goes out. Refer to “Low coolant temperature indi-cator” on page 5-76.
This model is equipped with an electronically controlled fuel injection system. This is a sys- tem that automatically controls fuel injection.
CAUTION If the engine is stopped while driving, the power brake booster will
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 the battery to be dis- charged. Do not turn the key to the “START” position when the engine is running, doing so could damage the starter motor.
Starting the engine 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

bon monoxide gas, wh
ich 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 a
chance to warm up. Release the ignition sw
itch as soon as the
engine starts. Otherwis

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 down with
your right foot. 5. Press and hold the clut
ch pedal all the way
down (manual transaxle). 6. On vehicles equipped with manual trans- axle, place the gearshift lever in the “N” On vehicles equippe

that the engine still does not start. 1. Make sure that all electric devices, such as lights, air conditi
oning blower and rear
window defogger, are turned off.
2. While depressing the brake pedal {contin- uously variable transmission (CVT)} orthe clutch pedal (manual transaxle), press the accelerator peda
l halfway and hold it
there, then crank the engine. Release theaccelerator pedal, immediately after the engine starts. 3. If the engine still wi

The CVT will automati
cally and continuously
change its gear ratio depending on road anddriving conditions. This helps achieve smooth driving and excellent fuel efficiency. The transmission prevents unnecessary upshifts even when the accelerator pedal isreleased and ensures smooth driving. According to the conditions, 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.

As an additional safe
ty precaution, models
equipped with a conti

The CVT selects an optimum ratio automati- cally when the selector lever is in the “D”
nding on the speed of
the vehicle and the position of the acceleratorpedal.
