Wind buffeting can be de
scribed as the per-
ception of pressure on the ears or a booming or rumbling sound. Your
vehicle may exhibit
wind buffeting when driving with one or bothrear door windows down or partially opened. This is a normal occurrence that can be mini- mized. If the buffeting
occurs with the rear
door windows open, open the front door win- dows as well as the rear door windows to minimize the condition.
WA R N I N G Before driving with a child in the vehicle, be sure to lock the window switch to makeit inoperative. Children tampering withthe switch could easily trap their hands or heads in the window.
Safety mechanism (Driver’s door window)
WA R N I N G If the battery terminals are disconnected or the fuse for electric window is replaced, the safety mechanism will be cancelled. If a hand or head got
trapped, a serious
injury could result.CAUTION The safety mechanism is deactivated just before the door window closes. This allows the door window to close completely. There- fore be especially careful that fingers are nottrapped in the door window opening.
 The safety mechanism is deactivated while the switch is pulled up.
Therefore be espe-
cially careful that fi
ngers are not trapped in
the door window opening. Do not deliberately tr
ap your hands or head
in order to activate the safety mechanism. Your hand or head coul
d be trapped and per-
sonal injury could result.NOTE
 The safety mechanism can be activated if the driving conditions or
other circumstances
cause the door window to be subjected to a physical shock similar to that caused by trapped hand or head.  If the safety mechanism is activated 5 or more times in a row, the safety mechanismwill be cancelled a
nd the door window will
not close correctly. In such a case, the following procedureshould be implemented to rectify this situa- tion. If the window is open,
repeatedly raise the
driver’s door window sw
itch until that win-
dow has been fully cl
osed. Following this,
release the switch, raise the switch once again and hold it in this condition for atleast1 second, then release it. You should now be able to operate
in the normal fashion.
CAUTION
If the battery terminals are disconnected or the fuse for electric
window is replaced, the
safety mechanism will
be cancelled and the
door window will not automatically open/close completely. If the window is open,
repeatedly raise the
driver’s door window switch until the win- dow has been fully cl
osed. Following this,
release the switch, raise the switch onceagain and hold it in this
condition for at least
1 second, then release it. You should now be able to operate the driver’s door window inthe normal fashion.

For information on
operation for vehicles
equipped with the Free-hand Advanced Secu-rity Transmitter (F.A
.S.T.-key), refer to
“Free-hand Advanced
Security Transmitter
(F.A.S.T.-key): Starting and stopping theengine” on page 5-16. [Except for vehicles equipped with the Free-hand Advanced Se
curity Transmit-
ter (F.A.S.T.-key)]  Do not operate the starter motor continu- ously for longer than 15 seconds as thiscould run the battery
down or damage the
starter motor. If the engine does not start, turn the ignition switch back to the “OFF”position, wait a few se
conds, and then try
again. Trying repeatedly with the engine or starter motor still turning will damagethe 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 up enough for driving when the low coolant temperature indi
cator goes out.
Refer to “Low coolant temperature indi- cator” on page 5-75.
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 than 15 seconds at a time. To prevent battery drain, wait a few secondsbetween attempts to restart the engine. 1. Make sure all occupants are properly seated with seat belts fastened.
CAUTION If the engine is stopped while driving, the power brake booster will
cease to function
and braking efficiency will deteriorate. Also, the power steering syst
em will not function
and it will require gr
eater manual effort to
operate the steering. Do not leave the key in
the “ON” position for
a long time when the engine is not running. Doing so will cause the battery to be dis- charged. Do not turn the key to the “START” position when the engine is running, doing so coulddamage the starter motor.

For the best fuel ec
onomy and performance in
using your manual transaxl
e, upshift as listed
below. At low altitude locations, shift at the vehicle speeds listed. Upshifting earlier during cruise conditions (relativel
y steady speeds) will
improve your fuel economy. At high altitude locati
ons, upshift as listed
below.
N00513000096
It is recommended that you downshift to a lower gear when needed to maintain the desired speed, according to the table. Avoid downshifting at too high a speed. Theengine may suffer damage. To maintain a safe speed and prolong brake life, shift down to 2nd or 1st when descend-ing a steep hill. Downshifting is also important to avoid “lug- ging” the engine at t
oo low a speed, such as
when turning a corner or when driving up a steep hill.
N00513100244
 Do not use the gearshift lever as a han- drest. This can result
in premature wear of
the transaxle shift forks.  The table above shows the maximum rec- ommended driving speed for in each gear. Do not drive near or at these speeds forprolonged periods of time.
