Driving your vehicle
Starting the engine✽✽NOTICE - Kick down
mechanism (if equipped)
If your vehicle is equipped with a
kick down mechanism in the acceler-
ator pedal, it prevents you from driv-
ing at full throttle unintentionally by
making the driver require increased
effort to depress the accelerator
pedal. However, if you depress the
pedal more than approximately
82%, the vehicle can be at full throt-
tle and the accelerator pedal will be
easier to depress. This is not a mal-
function but a normal condition.
WARNING
Always wear appropriate shoes when operating your
vehicle. Unsuitable shoes
(high heels, ski boots,etc.)
may interfere with your ability
to use the brake, accelerator
and clutch (if equipped) pedal.
Do not start the vehicle with the accelerator pedal
depressed. The vehicle can
move and lead to an accident.
Wait until the engine rpm is normal. The vehicle may sud-
denly move if the brake padelis released when the rpm ishigh.
(Continued)
Never reach for the enginestart/ stop button or any other
controls through the steering
wheel whilst the vehicle is in
motion. The presence of yourhand or arm in the area could
cause loss of vehicle control,an accident and serious bodi-
ly injury or death.
Do not place any movable objects around the driver's
seat as they may move whilst
driving, interfere with the driv-er and lead to an accident.

al seconds before sufficient lubri-cation is ensured in the tur-bocharger unit.
2.After high speed or extended driv- ing, requiring a heavy engine load,

engine may not start.
When the engine start/stop button is in the ACC position or above, if
any door is opened, the system
checks for the smart key. If the
smart key is not in the vehicle, a
message “Key not in vehicle” will
appear on the LCD display. And ifall doors are closed, the chime will
sound for 5 seconds. The indicator
or warning will turn off whilst the

starts by the ISG system, some
warning lights (ABS, ESC, ESC

ing light) may turn on for a few sec-
onds.
This happens because of low battery
voltage. It does not mean the system
has malfunctioned.

During cold weather, shifting may
be difficult until the transaxle lubri-
cant has warmed up. This is normal
and not harmful to the transaxle.
If you've come to a complete stop and it's hard to shift into 1 (First) or
R (Reverse), put the shift lever in
neutral position and release the
clutch. Press the clutch pedal back
down, and then shift into 1 (First)
or R (Reverse) gear position.CAUTION
To avoid premature clutch
wear and damage, do notdrive with your foot resting on the clutch pedal. Also, don’tuse the clutch to hold thevehicle stopped on an uphill grade, whilst waiting for a traf-fic light, etc.
Do not use the shift lever as a handrest during driving, asthis can result in premature wear of the transaxle shiftforks.
To prevent possible damage to the clutch system, do notstart with the 2nd (second) gear engaged except whenyou start on a slippery road.
Do not exceed the maximum weight limits of the loadingweight.
Improper loading can result indamage to clutch system.
WARNING
Before leaving the driver’s seat, always set the parking
brake fully and shut the
engine off. Then make sure thetransaxle is shifted into 1
(First) gear when the vehicle is
parked on a level or uphill
grade, and shifted into R
(Reverse) on a downhill grade.
Unexpected and sudden vehi-
cle movement can occur if
these precautions are not fol-
lowed in the order identified.
If your vehicle has a manual transaxle not equipped with a
ignition lock switch, it may
move and cause a serious
accident when starting theengine without depressing
the clutch pedal whilst theparking brake is released and
the shift lever not in the neu-tral position.
