RECOMMENDED LUBRICANTS AND CAPACITIES
To help achieve proper engine and powertrain performance and durability, use only
lubricants of the proper quality. The correct lubricants also help promote engine
efficiency that results in improved fuel economy.
These lubricants and fluids are recommended for use in your vehicle.

*1 : Refer to the recommended SAE viscosity numbers on page 12.
*2 : Engine oils labeled Energy Conserving Oil are now available. Along with other additional
benefits, they contribute to fuel economy by reducingthe amount of fuel necessary
to overcome engine friction. Often, these improvements are difficult to measure in
everyday driving, but in a year’stime, they can offer significant cost and energy savings.
*3 : If the recommended engine oil is not available in your country, you are able to use API
SL/ILSAC GF-3 or ACEA A3.
*4 : Use only specified genuine Intelligent variable transmission fluid. The use of non-specified fluid (even marked as compatible with genuine) could result in shift quality deterioration and vibrations, eventually, the transmission failure.

WARNING
Always wear appropriate shoes when
operating your vehicle.
Unsuitable shoes, such as high heels,
ski boots, sandals, flip-flops, etc., may
interfere with your ability to use the
brake and accelerator pedals.
Vehicle with manual transmission:
1. Make sure the parking brake is
applied.
2. Make sure the shift lever is in neutral.
3. Depress the clutch and brake pedals.
4. Turn the ignition switch to the START
position. Hold the key (maximum of
10 seconds) until the engine starts and

4. Turn the ignition switch to the START
position. Hold the key (maximum of
10 seconds) until the engine starts and
release it.
Information
• It is best to maintain a moderate engine
speed until the vehicle engine comes
up to normal operating temperature.
Avoid harsh or abrupt acceleration or
deceleration while the engine is still
cold.
• Whether the engine is cold or warm,
always start the vehicle with your foot
on the brake pedal. Do not depress the
accelerator while starting the vehicle.
Do not rev the engine while warming
it up.
NOTICE
To prevent damage to the vehicle:
• Do not hold the ignition key in the
START position for more than 10
seconds. Wait 5 to 10 seconds before
trying again.
• Do not push or tow your vehicle to
start the engine.

Starting the engine
WARNING
• Always wear appropriate shoes when
operating your vehicle.
Unsuitable shoes, such as high heels,
ski boots, sandals, flip-flops, etc.,
may interfere with your ability to use
the brake and accelerator pedals.
• 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 suddenly move if
the brake pedal is released when the
rpm is high.
Information
• The engine will start by pressing the
Engine Start/Stop button, only when
the smart key is in the vehicle.
• Even if the smart key is in the vehicle,
if it is far away from the driver, the
engine may not start.
• When the Engine Start/Stop button
is in the ACC or ON position, if any
door is open, the system checks for the
smart key. If the smart key is not in the
vehicle, the “
” indicator will blink and the warning "Key not in vehicle"
will come on and if all doors are closed,
the chime will also sound for about
5 seconds. Keep the smart key in the
vehicle when using the ACC position or
if the vehicle engine is ON.
Vehicle with manual transmission:
1. Always carry the smart key with you.
2. Make sure the parking brake is
applied.
3. Make sure the shift lever is in neutral.
4. Depress the clutch and brake pedals.
5. Press the Engine Start/Stop button.
Information
Depress the brake pedal and clutch pedal
until the engine starts.
Vehicle with intelligent variable
transmission:
1. Always carry the smart key with you.
2. Make sure the parking brake is
applied.
3. Make sure the shift lever is in P (Park).
4. Depress the brake pedal.
5. Press the Engine Start/Stop button.
Information
• Do not wait for the engine to warm up
while the vehicle remains stationary.
Start driving at moderate engine
speeds. (Aggressive accelerating and
decelerating should be avoided.)
• Always start the vehicle with your foot
on the brake pedal. Do not depress the
accelerator while starting the vehicle.
Do not rev the engine while warming
it up.
NOTICE
To prevent damage to the vehicle:
• If the engine stalls while you are in
motion, do not attempt to move the
shift lever to the P (Park) position.
If traffic and road conditions permit,
you may put the shift lever in the N
(Neutral) position while the vehicle
is still moving and press the Engine
Start/Stop button in an attempt to
restart the engine.
• Do not push or tow your vehicle to
start the engine.

While Driving

When the stop lamp switch fuse is
blown, you can't start the engine
normally. Replace the fuse with a new
one. If you are not able to replace
the fuse, you can start the engine by
pressing and holding the Engine Start/
Stop button for 10 seconds with the
Engine Start/Stop button in the ACC
position.
Do not press the Engine Start/Stop
button for more than 10 seconds except
when the stop lamp switch fuse is

For your safety always depress the
brake pedal before starting the engine.
OQX069067
Information
If the smart key battery is weak or the
smart key does not work correctly, you
can start the engine by pressing the Engine
Start/Stop button with the smart key in
the direction of the picture above.
MANUAL TRANSMISSION
OQX069077N
The shift lever can be moved without
pressing the button (1).
The button (1) must be pressed while
moving the shift lever to R (Reverse).
Manual Transmission Operation
The manual transmission has 6
forward gears. The transmission is fully
synchronized in all forward gears so
shifting to either a higher or a lower gear
can be easily accomplished.
WARNING
Before leaving the driver's seat, always
make sure the shift lever is in 1st gear
when the vehicle is parked on a uphill
and in R (Reverse) on a downhill, set the
parking brake, and place the ignition
switch in the LOCK/OFF position.
Unexpected vehicle movement may
occur if these precautions are not
followed.
To shift to R (Reverse), make sure the
vehicle has completely stopped, and
then move the shift lever to neutral
before moving into R (Reverse).
When you've come to a complete stop
and it's hard to shift into 1st gear or R
(Reverse):
1. Put the shift lever in neutral and
release the clutch pedal.
2. Depress the clutch pedal, and then
shift into 1 (first) or R (Reverse) gear.

06
6-13
NOTICE
During cold weather, shifting may be
difficult until the transmission lubricant
has warmed up.
Using the clutch
The clutch pedal should be depressed all
the way before:
-Starting the engine
The engine will not start without
depressing the clutch pedal.
-Shifting into gear, up shifting to the
next higher gear, or down shifting to
the next lower gear.
When releasing the clutch pedal, release
it slowly. The clutch pedal should always
be fully released while driving.
CAUTION
To prevent unnecessary wear or
damage to the clutch:
• Do not rest your foot on the clutch
pedal while driving.
• Do not hold the vehicle with the
clutch on an incline, while waiting for
the traffic light, etc.
• Always depress the clutch pedal
down fully to prevent noise or
damage.
• Do not depress the clutch pedal
again until it is fully released.
• Do not start in 2nd (second) gear
except when you are in slippery road
conditions.
• Do not drive with cargo loaded more
than required loading capacity.
Downshifting
Down shift to a lower gear when slowing
down in heavy traffic or driving up a
steep hill to prevent high engine loads.
Also, downshifting reduces the chance
of stalling and helps reaccelerate the
vehicle when you need to increase your
speed.
When the vehicle is going downhill,
downshifting helps maintain safe speed
by providing engine braking (brake
power from the engine) and results in
less wear on the brakes.
NOTICE
To prevent damage to the engine,
clutch and transmission:
• When downshifting from 5
th
gear to 4th gear, be careful not to
inadvertently push the shift lever
sideways engaging the 2
nd gear. A
drastic downshift may cause the
engine speed to increase to the
point the tachometer will enter
the redzone and may cause engine
damage.
• Do not downshift more than two
gear at a time or downshift the gear
when the engine is running at high
speed (5,000 RPM or higher).
Such down shifting may damage the
engine, clutch and the transmission.
