Whether  the engine  is  cold or  warm, it
should  be  started without  depressing
the accelerator.
WARNING - Ignition key
WARNING
Never turn  the  ignition switch  to
LOCK or ACC while the vehicle is
moving. This would result  in loss
of directional control and braking
function,  which  could  cause  an
accident or collision.
Before  leaving  the  driver’s seat,
always make  sure  the shift  lever
is engaged  in 1   gear for  manual
st
transaxle or P (Park) for  automat-
ic transaxle. Then, set the parking
brake  fully  and  shut  the  engine
off. Unexpected and sudden vehi-
cle movement may  occur if these
precautions are not taken.
Never    reach   for    the   ignition
switch,   or   any   other   controls
through the  steering wheel  while
the vehicle is in motion.The  pres-
ence of  your hand  or arm in  this
area could cause a loss of vehicle
control, an  accident  and serious
bodily injury or death.
Always   wear   appropriate    shoes
when
operating
your
vehicle.
Unsuitable  shoes  (high  heels,  ski
boots,etc.) may  interfere  with your
ability to use the brake and acceler-
ator   pedal,    and    the   clutch    (if
equipped).
CAUTION - Stall
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 turn the ignition
switch to  the START position  in an
attempt to restart the engine.
1. Make    sure   the   parking   brake    is
applied.
2. Manual   Transaxle   -   Depress   the
clutch
pedal    fully   and    shift   the
transaxle into Neutral. Keep the clutch
pedal   depressed  while   turning   the
ignition  switch  to  the  start   position.     NOTICE
The  starter   will   not  operate   if  the
clutch pedal is not fully depressed.
Automatic   Transaxle  -   Place   the
transaxle   shift   lever   in   P   (Park).
Depress the brake pedal fully.
You  can also  start  the  engine  when
the  shift  lever  is  in  the  N  (Neutral)
position.
Do not engage the starter for more  than
seconds. If the engine stalls or fails to
start,  wait  5  to  10  seconds  before  re-
the   starter.    Excessive    or
improper use of the starter may damage
it.
