CAUTION
. Continuously Variable Transmission
(CVT) models cannot be push-
started or tow-started. Attempting
to do so may cause transmission
damage.
. Three-way catalyst equipped mod-
els should not be started by pushing
since the three way catalyst may be
damaged.
. Never try to start the vehicle by
towing it; when the engine starts,
the forward surge could cause the
vehicle to collide with the tow

vehicle overheats. Doing so could
cause engine damage or a vehicle
fire.

scalded, never remove the radiator

When the radiator cap is removed,
pressurized hot water will spurt out,
possibly causing serious injury.

coming out.

extremely high temperature gauge reading), or if
you feel a lack of engine power, detect abnormal
noise, etc., take the following steps:
