NOTE

Starting
Tips for starting
Do not operate the starter motor for longer
than 15 seconds as this could run the bat-
tery down or damage the starter motor. If
the engine does not start, turn the ignition
switch back to the "LOCK" position, wait
a few seconds, and then try again. Trying
repeatedly with the engine or starter
motor still turning will damage the starter
mechanism.
If the engine will not start because the bat-
tery is weak or discharged, refer to
"Jump-starting the engine" on page 8-2
for instructions.
A longer warm up period will only con-
sume extra fuel. The engine is warmed up
enough for driving when the bar graph of
the engine coolant temperature display
starts to move. Refer to "Interrupt display
screen (With ignition switch in the "ON"
position)" on page 5-100.
On vehicles equipped with the Twin
Clutch SST, the following may occur after
the engine is started, but they do not indi-
cate an abnormality.
• You may hear operational sounds of the
Twin Clutch SST and you may feel
vibration in the vehicle body.
• If you shift the gearshift lever into the
N00514600233
"N" (NEUTRAL) position and depress
the accelerator pedal, increases in the
engine speed will be limited.
WARNING
Never run the engine in a closed or poorly
ventilated area any longer than is needed
to move your vehicle out of the area. Car-
bon monoxide gas, which is odorless and
extremely poisonous, could build up and
cause serious injury or death.
