position {continuously variable transmis-
sion (CVT)}.
2. Turn the key to the "OFF" position and
remove it.
CAUTION
 If the engine is stopped while driving, the
power brake booster will cease to function
and braking efficiency will deteriorate. Also,
the power steering system will not function
and it will require greater manual effort to
operate the steering.
 Do not leave the key in the "ON" position for
a long time when the engine is not running.
Doing so will cause the battery to be dis-
charged.
CAUTION
 Do not turn the key to the "START" position

For information on operation for vehicles
equipped with the Free-hand Advanced Secu-

[Except for vehicles equipped with the
Free-hand Advanced Security Transmit-
ter (F.A.S.T.-key)]
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 ignition switch back to the "OFF"
N00512601861 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 low coolant
temperature indicator goes out.
Refer to "Low coolant temperature indi-
cator" on page 5-88.
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.
