E00306401603

The  electronic  immobilizer  has  been  de-
signed  to  significantly  reduce  the  possibility
of vehicle theft. The purpose of the system is
to immobilize the vehicle if an invalid start is
attempted.  A  valid  start  attempt  can  only  be
achieved (subject to certain conditions) using
a keyless operation system “registered” to the
immobilizer system.
All of the keys provided with your new vehi-
cle have been programmed into the vehicle’s
electronics. Refer to “Engine switch” on page

transmitted by the transponder inside the key
must match the code registered in the immo-

Changing the operation mode

E00312200133

If you press the engine switch without de-
pressing the brake pedal (A/T or CVT) or the
clutch pedal (M/T), you can change the oper-
ation mode in the order of OFF, ACC, ON,
OFF.

CAUTION

When the engine is not running, put the op-
eration mode in OFF. Leaving the operation
mode in ON or ACC for a long time when
the engine is not running may cause the bat-
tery to be discharged, making it impossible
to start the engine, lock and unlock the steer-
ing wheel.

When  the  battery  is  disconnected,  the  cur-
rent operation mode is memorized. After re-
connecting the battery, the memorized mode
is selected automatically. Before disconnect-
ing  the  battery  for  repair  or  replacement,
make sure to put the operation mode in OFF.
Be  careful  if  you  are  not  sure  which  opera-
tion mode the vehicle is in when the battery
is run down.

The operation mode cannot be changed from
OFF to ACC or ON if the keyless operation
key is not detected to be in the vehicle. Refer
to “Keyless operation system: Operating
range for starting the engine and changing
the operation mode” on page 3-10.

ACC power auto-cutout func-
tion

E00312300088

After  approximately  30  minutes  has  elapsed
with  the  operation  mode  in  ACC,  the  func-
tion automatically cuts out the power for the
audio  system  and  other  electric  devices  that
can be operated with that mode.

When the engine switch is pressed while the
operation mode is in ACC, the power is sup-
plied again to those devices.

NOTE

It is possible to modify functions as follows:

•

The time until the power cuts out can be
changed to approximately 60 minutes.

•

The ACC power auto-cutout function can
be deactivated.

The starter motor will be turning for up
to  approximately  15  seconds  if  the  en-
gine switch is released at once. Pressing
the engine switch again while the starter
motor is still turning will stop the starter
motor. The starter motor will be turning

while the engine switch is pressed.
If  the  engine  does  not  start,  wait  for  a
while  and  then  attempt  to  start  the  en-
gine  again.  Trying  repeatedly  with  the
starter  motor  still  running  will  damage
the starter mechanism.

WARNING

Never run the engine in a closed or poorly
ventilated area any longer than is needed
to move your vehicle in or out of the area.
Carbon monoxide gases are odourless and
can be fatal.

CAUTION

Never attempt to start the engine by pushing
or pulling the vehicle.

Do not run the engine at high rpm or drive
the vehicle at high speed until the engine has
had a chance to warm up.

Starting the engine (petrol-pow-
ered vehicles)

E00307002111

The starting procedure is as follows:

1. Fasten the seat belt.
2. Make sure the parking brake is applied.
3. Press and hold the brake pedal down

firmly with your right foot.

NOTE

After the engine has not started for a while,
the brake pedal effort needed to start the en-
gine may become greater.
If this occurs, depress the brake pedal more
firmly than usual.

4. Fully depress the clutch pedal (M/T).
5. On vehicles equipped with M/T, place

the  gearshift  lever  in  the  “N”  (Neutral)
position.
On  vehicles  equipped  with  CVT,  make
sure  the  selector  lever  is  in  the  “P”
(PARK) position.

Vehicles with CVT

Vehicles with M/T

NOTE

The engine can only be started when the se-
lector  lever  is  in  the  “P”  (PARK)  or  “N”
(NEUTRAL) position (CVT).
For safety reasons, the engine should be star-
ted  when  the  selector  lever  is  in  the  “P”
(PARK)  position  in  which  the  driving
wheels lock.

6. Press the engine switch.
7. Make sure that all warning lamps are

functioning properly.

NOTE

Minor noises may be heard on engine start-
up. These will disappear as the engine
warms up.

When it is difficult to start the engine
After several attempts, you may experience
that the engine still does not start.

1. Make sure that all electric devices, such

as lamps, air conditioning blower and
rear window demister, are turned off.

2. While depressing the brake pedal (CVT)

or the clutch pedal (M/T), press the ac-

Stopping the engine

E00312601118

WARNING

Do  not  operate  the  engine  switch  while
driving except in an emergency. If the en-
gine  is  stopped  while  driving,  the  brake
servomechanism  will  cease  to  function
and  braking  efficiency  will  deteriorate.
Also,  the  power  steering  system  will  not
function  and  it  will  require  greater  man-
ual  effort  to  operate  the  steering.  This
could result in a serious accident.

NOTE

For diesel-powered vehicles, if the tempera-
ture  inside  the  engine  compartment  is  high,
the cooling fans (A) will continue to operate
for some time even if the engine is stopped.
Therefore,  the  operation  sound  of  the  cool-
ing fans may be heard even after the engine

not indicate a malfunction.
After  operating  for  a  period  of  time,  the

The  emergency  key  is  built  into  the  keyless
operation  key.  If  the  keyless  operation  func-
tion cannot be used, for example because the

unlock the driver’s door with the emergency
key.  To  use  the  emergency  key  (A),  unlock
the  lock  knob  (B)  and  remove  it  from  the
keyless operation key (C).

Only  use  the  emergency  key  for  emergen-
cies.  If  the  keyless  operation  key  battery
wears  out,  replace  it  as  quickly  as  possible
so  that  you  can  use  the  keyless  operation
key.

NOTE

After using the emergency key, always re-
turn it into the keyless operation key.
