Starting the Engine

Warning: Only use the vehicle key in the
ignition control. Do not place any objects,
including fingers, into the ignition control other
than the vehicle key. Objects other than the vehicle
key may cause the ignition control unit to fail.
In extreme low temperatures (-20°C and below)
do not allow the engine to 'rev' above 4000 rpm,
while at standstill or when moving off, until the
coolant temperature gauge reaches normal
operating temperature. Revving the engine before
fully warmed up may cause severe engine and
transaxle damage.
Do not press the vehicle key while driving. If the
key is pressed in and released the engine will stop.
If the key is removed from the ignition control while
driving the engine will stop but the steering lock
will not engage until the vehicle has come to a
complete stop.
