DRIVING YOUR VEHICLE

IGNITION SWITCH

Ignition Switch and Anti-Theft

Steering Column Lock

Ignition switch position

LOCK

The steering wheel locks to protect

against theft. The ignition key can be

removed only in the LOCK position.

When turning the ignition switch to

the LOCK position, push the key

inward at the ACC position and turn

the key toward the LOCK position.

The warning lights can be checked

before the engine is started. This is

the normal running position after the

engine is started.

Do not leave the ignition switch ON if

the engine is not running to prevent

battery discharge.

AS2B04001

START

Turn the ignition key to the START

position to start the engine. The

engine will crank until you release the

key; then it returns to the ON position.

The brake warning lamp can be

checked in this position.

Illuminated Ignition Switch

Whenever a door is opened, the igni-

tion switch will be illuminated for your

convenience, provided the ignition

switch is not in the ON position. The

light will go off approximately 10 sec-

onds after closing the door or when

the ignition switch is turned on.

ACC (Accessory)

The steering wheel is unlocked and

electrical accessories are operative.

4-2

DRIVING YOUR VEHICLE

If difficulty is experienced in turning

the ignition key to the START posi-

tion, turn the steering wheel right and

left to release the tension and then

turn the key.

WARNING - Ignition Key

• Never turn the ignition switch to

LOCK or ACC while the vehicle is

moving. This would result in loss

of directional control and brak-

ing function, which could cause

an immediate accident.

The anti-theft steering column

lock is not a substitute for the

parking brake. Before leaving the

driver’s seat, always make sure

the shift lever is engaged in 1st

gear for manual transaxle, or P

(Park) for automatic transaxle;

set the parking brake fully and

shut the engine off. Unexpected

and sudden vehicle movement

may occur if these precautions

are not taken.

Never reach for the ignition

switch, or any other controls

through the steering wheel while

the vehicle is in motion. The

presence of your hand or arm in

this area could cause a loss of

vehicle control, an accident and

serious bodily injury or death.

Do not put any movable things

around the driver’s seat as they

can disturb your driving and may

cause accidents.

DRIVING YOUR VEHICLE

STARTING THE GASOLINE

ENGINE

1. Make sure the parking brake is

applied.

2. Manual Transaxle - Depress the

clutch pedal fully and shift the

transaxle into Neutral. Keep the

clutch pedal depressed while

cranking the engine.

Automatic Transaxle - Place the

transaxle shift lever in P (Park).

Depress the brake pedal fully.

You can also start the engine

when the shift lever is in the N

(Neutral) position.

3. Turn the ignition switch to START

and hold it there until the engine

starts (a maximum of 10 seconds),

then release the key.

4. In extremely cold weather (below

0°F / -18°C) or after the vehicle

has not been operated for several

days, let the engine warm up with-

out depressing the accelerator.

Whether the engine is cold or warm,

it should be started without depress-

ing the accelerator.

CAUTION

If the engine stalls while you are in

motion,do not attempt to move the

shift lever to the P (Park) position

(Automatic Transaxle).If traffic and

road conditions permit, you may

put the shift lever in the N (Neutral)

position while the vehicle is still

moving and turn the ignition

switch to the START position in an

attempt to restart the engine.

4-4

DRIVING YOUR VEHICLE

If the Engine Fails to Start When

the Engine is Cold:

The engine is “cold” when the engine

coolant temperature drops below

32° F/0 °C. A no-start condition may

be caused by an engine that has

become flooded (has excessive fuel

in the cylinders). If this is the case,

use the following starting procedure.

1. Make sure the parking brake is

applied.

2. Manual Transaxle - Depress the

clutch pedal fully and shift the

transaxle into N (Neutral).

Automatic Transaxle - Place the

transaxle shift lever in P (Park) or

N (Neutral). Depress the brake

pedal fully.

3. While fully depressing the acceler-

ator, turn the ignition switch to the

START position and hold it (a max-

imum of 10 seconds) to discharge

the excess fuel.

If the engine starts, the engine

speed will increase suddenly;

release the key and the accelera-

tor immediately.

4. If the engine has not yet started,

release the accelerator after crank-

ing the engine. Without depressing

the accelerator, crank the engine

until it starts (a maximum of 10

seconds).

If the Engine Fails to Start When

the Engine is Warm:

A no-start condition, characterized by

failure to restart a warmed engine

despite repeated attempts may be

eliminated by using the following pro-

cedure.

1. Make sure the parking brake is

applied.

2. Manual Transaxle - Depress the

clutch pedal fully and shift the

transaxle into Neutral.

Automatic Transaxle - Place the

transaxle shift lever in P (Park) or

N (Neutral). Depress the brake

pedal fully.

3. While depressing the accelerator

about halfway, turn the ignition

switch to the START position and

hold it (a maximum of 10 seconds).
