2) Push-button ignition switch
When the push-button ignition switch is
pressed while depressing the clutch ped-
al, the engine will start. The starting
procedure of the engine is as follows.
1. Carry the access key, and sit in the
driver's seat.
2. Apply the parking brake.
3. Shift the shift lever in neutral.
4. Depress the brake pedal.
5. Depress the clutch pedal until the
indicator on the push-button ignition
switch turns green.
6. While depressing the clutch pedal,
press the push-button ignition switch.
NOTE
. In case the engine does not start by
the normal engine start procedure,
move the shift lever to the neutral
position, and switch the power to
"Acc". Depress the clutch pedal, and
press the push-button ignition switch
for at least 15 seconds. The engine may
start. Only use this engine start proce-
dure in case of emergency.
. For diesel engine models, the en-
gine will not start until the preheating
indicator light has turned off.
. For diesel engine models, you may
feel vibration during engine idling for
several tens of seconds. This vibration
is caused by the self-learning proce-
dure of the injector. This learning
procedure is necessary for optimum
engine performance. This does not
indicate a malfunction.
. For 2.5-liter non-turbo models, to
protect the engine while the shift lever
is in the neutral position, the engine is
controlled so that the engine speed
may not become too high even if the
accelerator pedal is depressed hard.
