Before launch
When starting an engine with electronic injection, do not press the accelerator pedal before or during starting..
Prolonged engine operation at high speeds causes significant increases in engine and exhaust system temperatures, which may result in fire or other damage. Therefore, do not park your vehicle near dry grass or other dry surfaces.
Do not run the vehicle for long periods of time in a closed garage or other confined area as the exhaust fumes are harmful. Open the garage door before starting the engine.
Warning before launch
- Make sure all passengers have their seat belts fastened.
- Make sure that the power to the headlights and other electrical devices is turned off.

- Make sure the transmission shifter is in neutral.
- When turning on the ignition, make sure that the instrument panel indicator lights are on. If not, the vehicle should be checked at an authorized service point
If the driver's seat belt was fastened at the start of the ignition, the seat belt warning light will not come on.
