11-1 Starting the engine
(T218351-069-0E)
Go through the "preoperational checks" before you start the engine then start it as described below.
(1) Check the position of the parking brake
Check that the parking brake switch is set to the "brake" side.
(2) Check the position of the shift lever
Always check that the shift lever is in the "N" position before you start the engine. The engine will not start if the
lever is in the wrong position.
(3) Release the entry key system
Touch the preregistered startup tag against the tag reader to release the entry key system.
(The blue lamp lights.)
If the startup tag is not registered, the entry key system is deactivated, so this step is not necessary.
(4) Check the status of the duplex communication system
When the key is inserted in the starter switch and turned to the "ON" position, the status of the duplex
communication system will be checked automatically for approximately 3 seconds. All warning lamps will light
when the cluster meter panel is activated. If no problem is detected, all warning lamps will go out.
If all warning lamps continue to light or all warning lamps do not light, stop the engine start
procedure and contact your authorised KATO dealer.

(5) Starting the engine
1) In normal
Turn the starter switch to the "START" position to start the engine. Once the engine starts, release the key. It will
spring back to the "ON" position.
If the engine has trouble starting in cold weather etc., do not run the starter motor for more than
15 seconds continuously as it could burn out.
If the engine does not start within 15 seconds, release the key and wait for at least 20 seconds
before trying again.

If the engine does not start, turn the key beck to the "OFF" position and wait for about one minute before
trying the procedure in
