Driving your vehicle
NOTICE
Kick down mechanism (if equipped)
If your vehicle is equipped with a
kick down mechanism in the accel -
erator pedal, it prevents you from
driving at full throttle unintention -
ally by making the driver require
increased effort to depress the
accelerator pedal. However, if you
depress the pedal more than
approximately 80%, the vehicle can
be at full throttle and the accelera -
tor pedal will be easier to depress.
This is not a malfunction but a nor -
mal condition.
Starting the petrol engine
1. Make sure the parking brake is
applied.
2. Manual Transmission - Depress
the clutch pedal fully and shift the
transmission into Neutral. Keep
the clutch pedal and brake pedal
depressed whilst turning the igni -
tion switch to the start position.
Automatic Transmission / Dual
cluth transmission - Place the
transmission shift lever in P
(Park). Depress the brake pedal
fully.
You can also start the engine
when the shift level is in the N
(Neutral) position.
3. Turn the ignition switch to START
and hold it there until the engine
starts (a maximum of 10 sec -
onds), then release the key.
It should be started without
depressing the accelerator pedal.
4. Do not wait for the engine to
warm up whilst the vehicle
remains stationary.
Start driving at moderate engine
speeds. (Steep accelerating and
decelerating should be avoided.)
NOTICE
If the engine does not start within
10seconds after the preheating is
completed, turn the ignition key
once more to the LOCK position for
10 seconds, and then to the ON
position, in order to preheat again.
Starting and stopping the engine
for turbocharger intercooler
1. Do not race or accelerate the
engine immediately after start -
ing. If the engine is cold, idle for
several seconds before sufficient
lubrication is ensured in the tur -
bocharger unit.
2. After high speed or extended
driving, requiring a heavy engine
load, idle the engine about 1 min -
ute before turning it off.
This idle time will allow the turbo -
charger to cool prior to shutting
the engine off.
