belts fastened
2. Insert the ignition key.

● For models equipped with a manual transaxle, the starter
will not operate unless the clutch pedal is fully depressed
(Clutch interlock). This is a safety feature.
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. Carbon 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.
● Release the ignition switch as soon as the engine
starts. Otherwise, the starter motor will be dam-
aged.
