The engine is warmed up enough for driv-
ing when the bar graph of engine coolant
temperature display starts to move. Refer
to “Engine coolant temperature display”
on page 5-150.
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 rear
window defogger, are turned off.
2. While depressing the brake pedal, press
the accelerator pedal halfway and hold it
there, then crank the engine. Release the
accelerator pedal, immediately after the
engine starts.
WARNING
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 and
cause 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.
