Before Driving
Place the second golf bag in
the trunk with its bottom
pointed to the left and fit it
into the back of the trunk.
Some golf bags cannot fit depending on their size.
Your vehicle is equipped with an inside trunk release lever that pro-
vides a means of escape for children and adults in the event they
become locked inside the trunk.
No matter how careful adults might be with keys and locking their
cars, parents should be aware that children may be tempted to play
around vehicles and use the trunk as a hiding place.
Adults are advised to familiarize themselves with the operation and
location of the inside trunk release lever so that all children can be told
about it in an appropriate way, keep ing in mind that most vehicles do
not have such levers.

■Opening the Trunk Lid from the Inside
Slide the inside trunk release
lever in the direction of the
arrow. The lever is made of
material that will glow for hours
in the darkness of the trunk fol-
lowing a brief exposure to ambi-
ent light.
The inside trunk release lever is
located on the inside of the trunk
lid.
WARNING
■Close the trunk lid, be sure the seat backs are latched and do not allow
children to play inside the vehicle
Leaving the trunk lid open or leaving children in the vehicle with the keys is
dangerous. Children could open the trunk lid and climb inside resulting in
possible injury or death from heat exposure.
■ Always keep the car from being a tempting place to play by latching
the rear seats, doors and the trun k, and keeping the keys where chil-
dren can not play with them
Leaving children or animals unattended in a parked vehicle is dangerous.
Babies left sleeping and children who lock themselves in cars or trunks can
die very quickly from heat prostration. Do not leave your children or pets
alone in a car at any time. Do not leave the car, the rear folding seats or the
trunk unlocked.

When Driving
■Push Button Start Positions
●The engine starts by pressing the push button start while depressing the
clutch pedal (manual transaxle) or the brake pedal (automatic transaxle). To
switch the ignition position, press the push button start without depressing
the pedal.
● Do not leave the ignition switched ON while the engine is not running. Doing
so could result in the battery going dead. If the ignition is left in ACC (For
automatic transaxle, the selector lever is in the P position, and the ignition is
in ACC), the ignition switches off automatically after about 25 minutes.
■ ACC (Accessory)
The keyless entry system does not function while the push button start has
been pressed to ACC, and the doors will not lock/unlock even if they have
been locked manually.
■ ON
When the push button start is pressed to ON, the sound of the fuel pump
motor operating near the fuel tank can be heard. This does not indicate an
abnormality.
WARNING
■Before leaving the driver’s seat, set the parking brake, make sure the
selector lever is in 1st gear or R (manual transaxle) or in P (automatic
transaxle), and always switch the ignition off
Leaving the driver’s seat without setting the parking brake, shifting the
selector lever to 1st gear or R (manual transaxle) or to P (automatic tran-
saxle), and switching the ignition off is dangerous. Unexpected vehicle
movement could occur which could result in an accident.
In addition, if your intention is to l eave the vehicle for even a short period, it
is important to switch the ignition off, as leaving it in another position will dis-
able some of the vehicle’s security systems and run the battery down.
