NOTE

The length of time for which it is

acceptable to allow the engine to
remain idling may be bound by local
laws and regulations. Check the local
rules when using the remote engine
start system.
.

When taking your vehicle in for

service, it is recommended that you
inform the service personnel that your
vehicle is equipped with a remote
engine start system.

ceiver (fob)

Fob button

Starting the engine

NOTE

All vehicle doors (including rear gate)
and the engine hood must be closed
prior to activating the remote engine
start system. Any open entry point will
prevent starting or cause the engine to
stop.

The remote engine start system is acti-
vated by pressing the fob button on your
remote engine starter transceiver (fob)
twice within 3 seconds. If the fob is within
operating range of the system and the start
request is received, the following phenom-
ena will occur.
.

The fob flashes and beeps once.

The horn sounds once.

The side marker lights, tail lights, and

parking lights flash once.

If the fob is not within range (the user is too
far away from the vehicle), the fob will
indicate two long flashes without beeping.

The system will check certain safety
preconditions before starting, and if all
conditions are met, the engine will start
within 5 seconds. After the engine starts,
the following phenomena will occur.
.

The fob flashes and beeps twice.

The horn sounds once.

The side marker lights, tail lights, and

parking lights flash once.

While the engine is idling via the remote
engine start system, the following phe-
nomena will occur.
.

The side marker lights, tail lights, and

parking lights remain illuminated.
.

The fob button flashes once every 3

seconds.
.

The power windows are disabled.

If the engine turns over but does not start
(or starts and stalls) the remote engine
start system will power off and then
attempt to start the engine 3 additional
times. The system will not attempt to
restart the engine if it determines a vehicle
malfunction is preventing starting. If the
engine does not start after 3 additional
attempts, the remote engine start request
will be aborted.

Stopping the engine

Press and hold the fob button for at least 2
seconds to stop the engine. The fob will
flash and beep three times, indicating the
engine has stopped. If the stop request is
not received (for example, if the user is too
far away from the vehicle), the fob will
continue to flash once every 3 seconds.
The system will automatically stop the
engine after 15 minutes.

(CVT models)

If the system detects any door (including
the rear gate) open during operation, it will
prevent starting or stop the engine, and
sound the horn and flash side marker
lights, tail lights, and parking lights 6 times.

In addition to the items above, if the
vehicle’s engine management system
determines there is a safety risk due to a
vehicle-related problem, the vehicle will
power down and the horn will sound 3
times.

NOTE

If the alarm system is armed at the

time of remote engine starter activation
(the security indicator light on the
combination meter is flashing), the
alarm system will remain armed
throughout the remote start run cycle.
.

If the alarm system is disarmed at

the time of remote engine starter acti-
vation (the security indicator light on
the combination meter is not flashing),
the alarm system will remain disarmed
throughout the remote start run cycle.

Remote start operation - fob con-
firmation

Your remote engine starter fob is a
bidirectional transceiver that can confirm
system operation with several different
visual and audible indications. The fob’s
LED-backlit button and internal piezo
buzzer will indicate status of the system
using the following flash and beep se-
quences, provided the fob is within opera-
tional range of the system.

System maintenance

NOTE

For remote engine starter transceiver:
In the event that the vehicle’s battery is
replaced, discharged or disconnected,
it will be necessary to start the vehicle a
minimum of one time using the key
prior to activating the remote engine
start system. This is required to allow
the vehicle electronic systems to re-
synchronize.

Changing the battery

CAUTION

Do not let dust, oil or water get on

or in the remote engine start
transmitter when replacing the
battery.

Be careful not to damage the

printed circuit board in the re-
mote engine start transmitter
when replacing the battery.

Be careful not to allow children to

touch the battery and any re-
moved parts; children could
swallow them.

There is a danger of explosion if

an incorrect replacement battery
is used. Replace only with the
same or equivalent type of bat-
tery.

Battery should not be exposed to

excessive heat such as sunshine,
fire or the like.

For models with “keyless access with
push-button start system”:
Perform the procedure described in “Re-
placing battery of access key fob” F11-44.
For remote engine starter transceiver:
The 3-volt lithium battery (model CR-2450)
supplied in your remote engine start
transmitter should last approximately one
year, depending on usage. When the
battery begin to weaken, you will notice a
decrease in range (distance from the
vehicle that your remote control operates).
Follow the instructions below to change
the remote engine start transmitter battery.

1. Remove the small phillips screw lo-
cated on the back side lower left corner of
the transmitter.
2. Carefully pry the remote engine start
transmitter halves apart using a small flat-
head screwdriver.

3. Remove the circuit board from the
bottom half of the case and remove the
battery and replace with new one. Be sure
to observe the (+) sign on the old battery
before removing it to ensure that the new
battery is inserted properly (battery “+”

To change the shift lever position:
1. Depress the clutch pedal.
2. To shift into all positions other than “R”,
move the shift lever accordingly.

Slider

3. To shift into the “R” position, hold up the
slider, move the lever to the “R” position,
then release the slider.
4. Gradually release the clutch pedal.

If it is difficult to shift into gear, put the
transmission in neutral, release the clutch
pedal momentarily, and then try again.

WARNING

Do not drive the vehicle with the

clutch disengaged (i.e., when the
clutch pedal is depressed) or with
the shift lever in the neutral
position. Engine braking has no
effect in either of these condi-
tions and the risk of an accident
is consequently increased.

Do not engage the clutch (i.e.,

release the clutch pedal) sud-
denly when starting the vehicle.
By doing so the vehicle might
unexpectedly accelerate or the
transmission could malfunction.

CAUTION

Shift into reverse ONLY when the
vehicle has completely stopped. It
may cause damage to the transmis-
sion to try shifting into reverse when
the vehicle is moving.

Shifting speeds

Recommended shifting speeds

The best compromise between fuel econ-
omy and vehicle performance during
normal driving is ensured by shifting up
at the speeds listed in the following table.

Maximum allowable speeds

The following table shows the maximum
speeds that are possible with each differ-
ent gear. The tachometer’s needle will
enter the red area if these speeds are
exceeded.
With the exception of cases where sudden
acceleration is required, the vehicle should
not be driven with the tachometer’s needle
inside the red area. Failure to observe this
precaution can lead to excessive engine
wear and poor fuel economy.

WARNING

When shifting down a gear, ensure
that the vehicle is not travelling at a
speed exceeding the Maximum Al-
lowable Speed for the gear which is
about to be selected. Failure to
observe this precaution can lead to
engine over-revving and this in turn
can result in engine damage.

In addition, sudden application of
engine brakes when the vehicle is
travelling on a slippery surface can
lead to wheel locking; as a conse-
quence, control of the vehicle may
be lost and the risk of an accident
increased.

NOTE

Never exceed the posted speed limit.

Driving tips

CAUTION

If the accelerator and brake pedals
are depressed at the same time,
driving torque may be restrained.
This is not a malfunction.

Do not drive with your foot resting on the
clutch pedal and do not use the clutch to
hold your vehicle at a standstill on an
upgrade. Either of those actions may
cause clutch damage.
Do not drive with your hand resting on the
shift lever. This may cause wear on the
transmission components.

When it is necessary to reduce vehicle
speed due to slow traffic, turning corners,
or driving up steep hills, downshift to a
lower gear before the engine starts to
labor.

On steep downgrades, downshift the
transmission to 5th, 4th, 3rd or 2nd gear
as necessary; this helps to maintain a safe
speed and to extend brake pad life.
In this way, the engine provides a braking
effect. Remember, if you “ride” (over use)
the brakes while descending a hill, they
may overheat and not work properly.

The engine may, on rare occasions, knock
when the vehicle rapidly accelerates or
rapidly pulls away from a standstill. This
phenomenon is not an indication of a
problem in your vehicle.

Continuously variable trans-
mission

WARNING

Do not shift from the “P” or “N”
position into the “D” or “R” position
while depressing the accelerator
pedal. This may cause the vehicle
to jump forward or backward.

CAUTION

Shift into the “P” or “R” position

only after the vehicle is comple-
tely stopped. Shifting while the
vehicle is moving may cause
damage to the transmission.

Do not race the engine for more

than 5 seconds in any position
except the “N” or “P” position
when the brake is applied or
when chocks are used in the
wheels. This may cause the
transmission fluid to overheat.

Never move the vehicle rearward

by inertia with the select lever set
in a forward driving position or
move the vehicle forward by
inertia with the select lever set

in the “R” position. Doing so may
result in an unexpected accident
or malfunction.

Do not shift from the “D” position

into the “R” position or vice versa
until the vehicle has completely
stopped. Such shifting may
cause damage to the transmis-
sion.

When parking the vehicle, first

securely apply the parking brake
and then place the select lever in
the “P” position. Do not park for a
long time with the select lever in
any other position as doing so
could result in a dead battery.

Continuously variable trans-
mission features

The continuously variable transmission is
electronically controlled and provides an
infinite number of forward speeds and 1
reverse speed. For some models, it also
has a manual mode or an “L” position.

NOTE

When the engine coolant tempera-

ture is still low, the transmission will
upshift or downshift at higher engine
speeds than when the coolant tempera-
ture is sufficiently high in order to

shorten the warm-up time and improve
driveability. The gearshift timing will
automatically shift to the normal timing
after the engine has warmed up.
.

Immediately after transmission fluid

is replaced, you may feel that the
transmission operation is somewhat
unusual. This results from invalidation
of data which the on-board computer
has collected and stored in memory to
allow the transmission to shift at the
most appropriate times for the current
condition of your vehicle. Optimized
shifting will be restored as the vehicle
continues to be driven for a while.
.

When driving a CVT model under

continuous heavy load conditions such
as when towing a camper or climbing a
long, steep hill, the engine speed or the
vehicle speed may automatically be
reduced. This is not a malfunction. This
phenomenon results from the engine
control function maintaining the cool-
ing performance of the vehicle. The
engine and vehicle speed will return to
a normal speed when the engine is able
to maintain the optimum cooling per-
formance after the heavy load de-
creases. Driving under a heavy load
must be performed with extreme care.
Do not try to pass a vehicle in front
when driving on an uphill slope while
towing.

Starting and operating/Continuously variable transmission

北米Model "A1340BE-A" EDITED: 2018/ 4/ 2

The continuously variable transmis-

sion is a chain type system that pro-
vides superior transmission efficiency
for maximum fuel economy. At times,
depending on varying driving condi-
tions, a chain operating sound may be
heard that is characteristic of this type
of system.

Models with manual mode

: With the brake pedal depressed, shift

: Shift while pressing the select lever

button in.

: Shift without pressing the select lever

button.

The select lever has four positions, “P”,
“R”, “N”, “D” and it also has an “L” or “M”
gate.

NOTE

For some models, to protect the engine
while the select lever is in the “P” or “N”
position, the engine is controlled so
that the engine speed may not become

too high even if the accelerator pedal is
depressed hard.

P (Park)

This position is for parking the vehicle and
starting the engine. In this position, the
transmission is mechanically locked to
prevent the vehicle from rolling freely.

When you park the vehicle, first apply the
parking brake firmly, then shift into the “P”
position. Do not hold the vehicle with only
the mechanical friction of the transmission.

To shift the select lever from the “P”
position to any other position, you should
depress the brake pedal fully then move
the select lever. This prevents the vehicle
from lurching when it is started.

R (Reverse)

This position is for backing the vehicle. To
shift from the “N” to “R” position, stop the
vehicle completely then move the lever to
the “R” position while pressing the select
lever button in.

When the ignition switch has been turned
to the “LOCK”/“OFF” position, movement
of the select lever from the “N” to “R”
position is possible for a limited time period
by depressing the brake pedal, and then it
becomes impossible. For details, refer to
“Shift lock function” F7-28.

北米Model "A1340BE-A" EDITED: 2018/ 4/ 2

N (Neutral)

This position is for restarting a stalled
engine. In this position, the transmission is
neutral, meaning that the wheels and
transmission are not locked. Therefore,
the vehicle will roll freely, even on the
slightest incline unless the parking brake
or foot brake is applied.

Avoid coasting with the transmission in
neutral. Engine braking has no effect in
this condition.

WARNING

Do not drive the vehicle with the
select lever in the “N” (neutral)
position. Engine braking has no
effect in this condition and the risk
of an accident is consequently in-
creased.

NOTE

If the select lever is in the “N” position
when you stop the engine for parking,
you may not subsequently be able to
move it to the “R” and “P” positions. If
this happens, turn the ignition switch to
the “ON” position. You will then be able
to move the select lever to the “P”
position.

D (Drive)

This position is for normal driving. The
transmission shifts automatically and con-
tinuously into a suitable gear according to
the vehicle speed and the acceleration you
require. Also, while driving up and down a
hill, the transmission assists and controls
the driving performance and engine brak-
ing while corresponding to the road grade.

When more acceleration is required in “D”
position, depress the accelerator pedal
fully to the floor and hold that position. The
transmission will automatically downshift.
In this case, the transmission will operate
like a conventional automatic transmis-
sion. When you release the pedal, the
transmission will return to the original gear
position.

For models with manual mode, if one of the
shift paddles behind the steering wheel is
operated while driving in the “D” position,

the transmission will temporarily switch to
the manual mode. In this mode, you can
shift into any gear position using the shift
paddles. For details about the manual
mode, refer to “Selection of manual mode”
F7-26. Once the vehicle speed stabilizes,
the transmission will switch from the
manual mode back to the “D” position for
normal driving.

Selection of manual mode (if
equipped)

With the vehicle either moving or station-
ary, move the select lever from the “D”
position to the “M” position to select the
manual mode.

downshifting is possible. When both in-
dicators illuminate, upshifting and down-
shifting are both possible. When the
vehicle stops (for example, at traffic

signals) the gear will be automatically
shifted to the 1st position and the down-
shift indicator will turn off.

Gearshifts can be performed using the
shift paddle behind the steering wheel.

To upshift to the next higher gear position,
pull the shift paddle that has “+” indicated
on it. To downshift to the next lower gear
position, pull the shift paddle that has “–”

CAUTION

Do not place or hang anything on the
shift paddles. Doing so may result in
accidental gear shifting.

NOTE

Please read the following points care-
fully and bear them in mind when using
the manual mode.
.

If you attempt to shift down when the

engine speed is too high, i.e., when a
downshift would push the tachometer
needle beyond the red zone, beeps will
be emitted to warn you that the down-
shift is not possible.
.

If you attempt to shift up when the

vehicle speed is too low, the transmis-
sion will not respond.
.

You can perform a skip-shift (for

example, from 4th to 2nd) by operating
the shift paddle twice in rapid succes-
sion.
.

The transmission automatically se-

lects 1st gear when the vehicle stops
moving.
.

If the temperature of the transmis-

sion fluid becomes too high, the “AT
OIL TEMP” warning light on the combi-
nation meter will illuminate. Immedi-
ately stop the vehicle in a safe location

and let the engine idle until the warning
light turns off.

Selection of “L” (if equipped)

“L” is for using engine braking when going
down a hill, etc. To select this mode, move
the select lever from the “D” position to the
“L” position.

When selected, the indicator “L” will
illuminate on the combination meter.

To deselect “L”, move the select lever to
the “D” position.

Shift lock function

The shift lock function helps prevent the
improper operation of the select lever.
.

The select lever cannot be operated

unless the ignition switch is turned to the

Driving tips

CAUTION

If the accelerator and brake pedals
are depressed at the same time,
driving torque may be restrained.
This is not a malfunction.

Always apply the foot or parking brake

when the vehicle is stopped in the “D” or
“R” position.
.

Always apply the parking brake when

parking your vehicle. Do not hold the
vehicle with only the mechanical friction
of the transmission.
.

Do not keep the vehicle in a stationary

position on an uphill grade by using the “D”
position. Use the brake instead.
.

The engine may, on rare occasions,

knock when the vehicle rapidly acceler-
ates or rapidly pulls away from a standstill.
This phenomenon does not indicate a
malfunction.
