 A longer warm up period will only con- sume extra fuel. The engine is warmed up enough for driv- ing when the bar graph of engine coolanttemperature display starts to move. Refer to “Engine coolant temperature display” on page 5-147.
Your vehicle is equipped with an electroni- cally controlled fuel injection system. This system automatically controls fuel injection. There is usually no need to depress the accel-erator pedal when starting the engine.
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. Press and hold the brake pedal down firmly with your right foot. 4. Make sure the selector lever is in the “P” (PARK) position. 5. Press the engine switch. 6. Confirm that all warning lights and warn- ing displays are functioning properly.
After several attempts, you may experience that the engine still does not start. 1. Make sure that all electric devices, such as lights, air conditioning blower and rearwindow defogger, are turned off. 2. While depressing the brake pedal, press the accelerator pedal halfway and hold itthere, then crank the engine. Release the accelerator pedal, immediately after the engine starts.
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 a chance to warm up.
Starting the engine

NOTE
 After the engine has not started for a while, the brake pedal effort needed to start the engine may become greater. If this occurs,depress the brake pedal more firmly than usual.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 wheels lock.
NOTE
 Minor noises may be heard on engine start- up. These will disappear as the engine warms up.

[Except for vehicles equipped with the F. A . S . T. - k e y ]  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”, 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 upenough for driving when the bar graph of engine coolant temperature display starts to move or the low coolant temperatureindicator goes out. Refer to “Engine cool- ant temperature display” on page 5-147.
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.

N00560901083
In sports mode, the currently selected shift range is displayed on the information screen in the multi-information display.
N00560801109
To gain extra acceleration in “D” (DRIVE) position (when passing another vehicle) push the accelerator to the floor. The CVT will automatically downshift. For short waiting periods, such as at traffic lights, the vehicle can be left in selector lever position and held stationary with the service brake.
 Downward shifts are made automatically when the vehicle slows down. Before the vehicle stops, 1st gear is automatically selected. Also, the vehicle will automatically return to“D” (DRIVE) operation if the vehicle is stopped.

NOTE
Operation of the CVT
CAUTION Before selecting a position with the engine running and the vehicle stationary, firmly depress the brake pedal to prevent the vehi- cle from creeping.The vehicle will begin to move as soon as the CVT is engaged, especially when the engine speed or idle speed is high, or with the airconditioning operating. Do not release the brake pedal until you are ready to drive away. Depress the brake pedal
with the right foot at
all times.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 revolutions when shifting from the “P” (PARK) or “N” (NEUTRAL). Operating the accelerator pedal while the other foot is resting on the brake pedal willaffect 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) position orsports mode} or coast forward in the “R” (REVERSE) position. Engine stopping and increased brake pedaland steering effort could lead to an accident.
 Do not rev the engine with the brake pedal pressed when the vehicle is stationary. This can damage the CVT. Also, when you depress the accelerator pedal while holding down the brake pedal with theselector lever in the “D” (DRIVE) position, the engine revolutions may not rise as high as when performing the same operation withthe selector lever in the “N” (NEUTRAL) position.
Passing acceleration
NOTE
 In sports mode, downshifts do not take place when the accelerator is depressed all the way to the floor.

yourself with the feel
of handling and braking
with the added weight of the trailer. Always keep in mind that the vehicle you are driving is now a good deal longer and not nearly asresponsive as your vehicle is without a trailer. Before you start, check the trailer hitch, safety chains, tires and mirror adjustment. Be sure your vehicle’s tires are inflated to the cold inflation pressure listed in the manual.You’ll find these numbers on the tire and loading information placard at the sill of the driver’s door.Refer to “Tire inflation pressures” on page 9-15. Stay at least twice as far behind the vehicle ahead as you would when driving your vehi-cle without a trailer. This can help you avoid situations that require heavy braking and sud- den turns.
You’ll need more passing distance up ahead when you’re towing a trailer. And, becauseyou’re a good deal longer, you’ll need to go much farther beyond the passed vehicle before you can return to your lane. Hold the bottom of the steering wheel with one hand. Then, to move the trailer to the left, just move that hand to the left. To move thetrailer to the right, move your hand to the right. Always back up slowly and, if possible, have someone guide you. When you’re turning with a trailer, make wider than normal turns to help prevent thetrailer from striking shoulders, curbs, road signs, trees or other objects.
Avoid jerky or sudden maneuvers. Signal well in advance. Towing a trailer puts additional burden on the engine and transaxle, which may cause over- heating. Following are some suggestions to reduce overheating: When towing at high altitudes, engine coolant and automatic transaxle fluid will overheat at a lower temperature than at normal altitudes.If you turn your engine off immediately after towing at high altitude on steep uphill grades, your vehicle may show signs similar to over-heating. To avoid this, let the engine run while parked (preferably on level ground)
