Features and controls
NOTE
 If the front wheels are turned, the anti-theft
lock may sometimes make it difficult to turn
the emergency key from "LOCK" to "ACC".
Firmly turn the steering wheel to the left or
to the right as you turn the emergency key.
Starting
Tips for starting
 Do not operate the starter motor continu-
ously for longer than 15 seconds as this
could run the battery down or damage the
starter motor. If the engine does not start,
turn the emergency key 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
"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.
CAUTION
 Do not push-start the vehicle.
 Do not run the engine at high rpms or drive
at high speeds until the engine has had a
chance to warm up.
 Release the emergency key as soon as the
engine starts. It will damage the starter
motor.
