NOTE:
• You do not need to keep the engine
switch pressed to start the engine.
• Manual transmission vehicles:
The engine of a manual transmission
vehicle will not start unless the clutch
pedal is depressed.
• Automatic transmission vehicles:
Automatic transmission vehicles have a
starter interlock device. The engine
starts when the gearshift lever is in either
"P" or "N" position.

Stopping Engine
• Depress the engine switch to stop the
engine after the vehicle stopped com-
pletely.
• If the engine remains stopped for a while
after it was stopped unexpectedly or was
raced before stopping, a clicking sound
may be heard from around the engine
when it is restarted. This is not a mal-
function. Always let the engine idle
before stopping it.
