[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. The starter should not be run for more than15 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. 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. Turn the ignition switch to the “ON” posi- tion and make certain that all warninglights are functioning properly before starting the engine. 6. Turn the ignition switch to the “START”position without pressing the acceleratorpedal. Release the ignition switch when the engine starts.
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.
Tips for starting
WA R N I N G Never run the engine in a closed or poorly ventilated area any longer than is needed to 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 revolutions or drive at high speeds until the engine has hada chance to warm up. Release the ignition switch as soon as the engine starts. Otherwise, the starter motor will be damaged
Starting the engine
NOTE
 Minor noises may be heard on engine start- up. These will disappear as the engine warms up.

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.
Sports mode display
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.
