position and check the operation of the
Starting and operating/Starting and stopping engine (models without push–button start system)
warning and indicator lights. At this time,
confirm that the preheating indicator light
has illuminated for a few seconds and has
turned off. Refer to "Warning and indicator
lights" F3-14.
5. Turn the ignition switch to the "START"
position without depressing the accelera-
tor pedal. Release the key immediately
after the engine has started.
6. Confirm that all warning and indicator
lights have turned off after the engine has
started. The fuel injection system auto-

lever into the "N" position. Do not
attempt to place the select lever of a
moving vehicle into the "P" posi-
tion.
NOTE
You may feel vibration during engine
idling for several tens of seconds. This
vibration is caused by a self-learning
procedure of the injector. This learning
procedure is necessary to stabilize the
best engine performance. Therefore, it
does not indicate a malfunction.
& Stopping engine
The ignition switch should be turned off
only when the vehicle is stopped and the
engine is idling.
WARNING
Do not stop the engine when the
vehicle is moving. This will cause
loss of power to the power steering
and the brake booster, making steer-
ing and braking more difficult. It
could also result in accidental acti-
vation of the "LOCK" position on the
ignition switch, causing the steering
wheel to lock.
