WARNING
. Never start the engine from outside the vehicle( except when using the remote engine start system). It may result in an accident.
. Do not leave the engine running in locations with poor ventilation, such as a garage and indoors. The exhaust gas may enter the vehicle or indoors, and it may result in carbon monoxide poisoning.
. Do not start the engine near dry foliage, paper, or other flammable substances. The exhaust pipe and exhaust emissions can create a fire hazard at high temperatures.
CAUTION
. If the engine is stopped while driving, the catalyst may overheat and burn.
. When starting the engine, be sure to sit in the driver’ s seat( except when using the remote engine start system).
NOTE
. Avoid rapid racing and rapid acceleration immediately after the engine has started.
. After the engine starts, the engine speed will be kept high.
. On rare occasions, it may be difficult to start the engine depending on the fuel and the usage condition( repeated driving of a distance in which the engine has not warmed up sufficiently). In such a case, it is recommended that you change to a different brand of fuel.
. On rare occasions, transient knocking may be heard from the engine when the accelerator is operated
rapidly such as a rapid start-up and a rapid acceleration. This is not a malfunction.
. The engine starts more easily when the headlights, air conditioner and rear window defogger are turned off.
. Do not shift the select lever while the starter is cranking.
