"START" position without pressing the accelerator pedal.
Release the emergency key with the F.A.S.T.-key when
the engine starts.
10. Remove the F.A.S.T.-key from the emergency key.

Make sure to remove the F.A.S.T.-key from the
emergency key after the engine is started.

If not removed, the F.A.S.T.-key could fall to the
floor, which may interfere with pedal operation.
Furthermore, the F.A.S.T.-key could prevent the
driver's knee airbag from inflating normally or
could be propelled to cause serious injury if the air-
bag inflates.
NOTE
When using the emergency key to start the engine, first
remove the key from the key holder. If the emergency key
is attached to a key holder (key ring), it may become
impossible to insert the keyless operation key into the
emergency key, and it may prevent the engine from being
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 stand-
still 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 this 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 drive nor-
mally.
Do not leave the vehicle during warm-up operation.
