will appear in the information display in
the instrument cluster. Push the engine
switch (1). When the engine is started,
the starter motor will automatically stop.
NOTE:
• You do not need to keep the engine
switch pressed to start the engine.
• CVT vehicles have a starter interlock
device which is designed to keep the
starter from operating if the transaxle is
in any of the drive positions.
• During the engine starting procedure,
messages on the information display will
help you. Refer to “Information display”
in “BEFORE DRIVING” section for
details.
• You should turn off such loads as the
headlights and air conditioning system to
facilitate starting of the engine.
• Even if you fail to start the engine, the
starter motor will stop turning automati-
cally after a short time. After the starter
motor has stopped or if there is some
problem with the system, the starter
motor will rotate only while the engine
switch is being pressed.
