NOTE:
.

Care should be taken to avoid situa-
tions that can lead to potential battery
discharge and potential no-start condi-
tions such as:
a. Installation or extended use of elec-

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

b. 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.

If the engine is difficult to start, de-
press the accelerator pedal all the way
to the floor and hold it. Push the
ignition switch with the brake pedal
depressed to start cranking the engine.
After 5 or 6 seconds, stop cranking by
pushing the ignition switch to the OFF
position, and then release the accel-
erator pedal. Then perform steps 1 to 5
to start the engine. If the engine starts,
but fails to run, repeat this procedure.

Starting and stopping the engine over a
short period of time may make the
vehicle more difficult to start. If this
occurs, wait for more than 3 minutes,

and then push the ignition switch again
to start the engine.

To maintain high performance over a
long period of time, the engine speed is
limited to 5,000 rpm when the engine is
revved with the shift lever in the

position, and to 4,000 rpm when the

engine oil or coolant temperature is
low or higher than normal.

If the ignition switch is pushed before
the shift lever is moved to the

position, the ignition switch will not
change to the OFF position. If this
occurs, the SHIFT

warning display

appears on the vehicle information
display. When stopping the engine, be
sure to move the shift lever to the

position and then push the ignition
switch. Failure to do so may result in
discharge of the battery. (

If the shift lever was in the

position when the engine was stopped,
then be sure to move the shift lever to
the

position before starting the

engine the next time. If the engine is
