position to start cranking the engine.
After 5 or 6 seconds, stop cranking by
pushing the ignition switch to OFF. After
cranking the engine, release the accel-
erator pedal. Crank the engine with your
foot off the accelerator pedal
by
depressing the brake pedal and pushing
the push-button ignition switch to start
the engine. If the engine starts, but fails
to run, repeat the above procedure.

CAUTION

Do not operate the starter for more
than 15 seconds at a time. If the engine
does not start, push the ignition switch
to OFF and wait 10 seconds before
cranking again, otherwise the starter
could be damaged.

4. Warm-up

Allow the engine to idle for at least 30
seconds after starting. Do not race the
engine while warming it up. Drive at
moderate speed for a short distance first,
especially in cold weather. In cold weather,
keep the engine running for a minimum of 2 -
3 minutes before shutting it off. Starting and
stopping the engine over a short period of

time may make the vehicle more difficult to
start.

When racing the engine up to 4,000 rpm or
more under no load condition, the engine
will enter the fuel cut mode.

5. To stop the engine, move the shift lever to

the P (Park) position (CVT models) or move
the shift lever to the N (Neutral) position (MT
models), and push the ignition switch to the
OFF position.

NOTE:

Care should be taken to avoid situations
that can lead to potential battery discharge
and potential no-start conditions such as:
1. Installation or extended use of electro-

nic accessories that consume battery
power when the engine is not running
(Phone chargers, GPS, DVD players,
etc.)

2. Vehicle is not driven regularly and/or

only driven short distances.

In these cases, the battery may need to be
charged to maintain battery health.

CONTINUOUSLY VARIABLE TRANS-
MISSION (CVT)

The Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT)
in your vehicle is electronically controlled to
produce maximum power and smooth operation.

The recommended operating procedures for this
transmission are shown on the following pages.
Follow these procedures for maximum vehicle
performance and driving enjoyment.

Engine power may be automatically re-
duced to protect the CVT if the engine
speed increases quickly when driving on
slippery roads or while being tested on
some dynamometers.

Starting the vehicle

1. After starting the engine, fully depress the

foot brake pedal before moving the shift
lever out of the P (Park) position.

This CVT is designed so that the foot
brake pedal must be depressed before
shifting from P (Park) to any driving
position while the ignition switch is in
the ON position.

The shift lever cannot be moved out of
the P (Park) position and into any of
the other positions if the ignition
switch is placed in the LOCK, OFF or
ACC position or if the key is removed.
