SEC

*1: When the CVT selector lever position is N position, the engine start condition is different according to the vehicle speed.
• At vehicle speed of 4 km/h (2 MPH) or less, the engine can start only when the brake pedal is depressed.
• At vehicle speed of 4 km/h (2 MPH) or more, the engine can start even if the brake pedal is not depressed. (It is the same as “Engine

stall return operation while driving”.)

*2: When the CVT selector lever position is in any position other than P position and when the vehicle speed is 5 km/h (3 MPH) or more,
the engine stop condition is different.
• Press and hold the push-button ignition switch for 2 seconds or more. (When the push-button ignition switch is pressed for too short a

time, the operation may be invalid, so properly press and hold to prevent an incorrect operation.)

• Press the push-button ignition switch 3 times or more within 1.5 seconds. (Emergency stop operation)
