5. On vehicles with manual transaxle, place the gearshift
lever in the "N" (Neutral) position.
On vehicles with continuously variable transmission
(CVT) or Twin Clutch SST, make sure the selector lever
(CVT) or gearshift lever (Twin Clutch SST) is in the "P"
(PARK) position.
NOTE
On vehicles with CVT, the starter will not operate unless
the selector lever is in the "P" (PARK) or "N" (NEU-
TRAL) position.
On vehicles with Twin Clutch SST, the starter will not
operate unless the gearshift lever is in the "P" (PARK)
position or the gearshift lever is in the "N" (NEUTRAL)
position with the brake pedal depressed.
For safety reasons, start the engine in the "P" (PARK)
position so that the wheels are locked.
6. Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position and make
certain that all warning lights are functioning properly
before starting the engine.
7. Turn the ignition switch to the "START" position without
pressing the accelerator pedal. Release the key when the
engine starts.
NOTE
Minor noises may be heard on engine start-up. These will
disappear as the engine warms up.
At extremely cold ambient temperature
If the engine won't start, press the accelerator pedal all the way
down while cranking the engine. Release the accelerator pedal
when the engine starts.
CAUTION
!
When starting the engine, make sure that you hold
the brake pedal down. If you start the engine with
your foot on the accelerator pedal, switch to the
brake pedal as soon as the engine has started.
Startability of continuously variable transmission
(CVT) vehicles or Twin Clutch SST vehicles at
extremely cold ambient temperature
When the ambient temperature is -4 °F (-20 °C) or lower on
vehicles with CVT, or -22 °F (-30 °C) or lower on vehicles
with Twin Clutch SST, it may not be possible to start from a
standstill even with the selector lever (CVT) or the gearshift
lever (Twin Clutch SST) in the "D" (DRIVE) position.
This phenomenon occurs because the transaxle has not warmed
up sufficiently; it does not indicate a problem. If it occurs,
place the selector lever (CVT) or the gearshift lever (Twin
Clutch SST) in the "P" (PARK) position and let the engine idle
for at least 10 minutes.
The transaxle will warm up, and you will be able to start nor-
mally.
Do not leave the vehicle during warm-up operation.
