Starting and driving

Starting and stopping the engine

Tips for starting
l Do not operate the starter motor continuous-
ly longer than 10 seconds; doing so could
run down the battery. If the engine does not
start, turn the ignition switch back to
"LOCK", wait a few seconds, and then try
again.
Trying repeatedly with the starter motor still
turning will damage the starter mechanism.
l After starting the engine in cold weather,
drive in a way that keeps the engine speed
low until the bar graph of engine coolant tem-
perature display starts to move (the engine
speed decreases). Otherwise, the engine will
not rev smoothly and the vehicle will move
jerkily.
l On vehicles equipped with the Twin Clutch
SST, the following may occur after the en-
gine is started, but they do not indicate an ab-
normality.
• You may hear operational sounds of the
Twin Clutch SST and you may feel vibra-
tion in the vehicle body.
• If you shift the gearshift lever into the
"N" (NEUTRAL) position and depress
the accelerator pedal, increases in the en-
gine speed will be limited.
