OTE
If the front wheels are turned, the anti-theft lock may
sometimes make it difficult to turn the emergency key
from “LOCK” to “ACC”. Firmly turn the steering wheel
to the left or to the right as you turn the emergency key.
Starting
Tips for starting
Do not operate the starter motor continuously for longer
than 15 seconds as this could run the battery down or
damage the starter motor. If the engine does not start, turn
the emergency key back to the “LOCK” position, wait a
few seconds, and then try again. Trying repeatedly with
the engine or starter motor still turning will damage the
starter mechanism.
If the engine will not start because the battery is weak or
discharged, refer to “Jump-starting the engine” on page 6-
2 for instructions.
A longer warm up period will only consume extra fuel.
The engine is warmed up enough for driving when the bar
graph of the engine coolant temperature display starts to
move. Refer to “Interrupt display screen (With ignition
switch in the “ON” position)” on page 3-180.
On vehicles equipped with the Twin Clutch SST, the fol-
lowing may occur after the engine is started, but they do
not indicate an abnormality.
You may hear operational sounds of the Twin Clutch
SST and you may feel vibration in the vehicle body.
If you shift the gearshift lever into the “N” (NEUTRAL)
position and depress the accelerator pedal, increases in
the engine speed will be limited.
CAUTION
!
Remove the emergency key when leaving the vehi-
cle.
If your vehicle needs to be towed, turn the emer-
gency key to the “ACC” position to unlock the steer-
ing wheel.
