When the allowable time for switching the
starter is exceeded, EECS (electronic
engine control system) opens the starter
circuit.
4. If within 10 seconds of the
starter operation the engine is not
started, repeat the start no earlier
than in 40 seconds.
5. If the second start attempt was
unsuccessful, the third attempt
should be made no sooner than in
40 seconds with the accelerator
pedal fully depressed (cylinder blow-
ing mode). In 6-8 seconds after the
cylinder blowing release the acceler-
ator pedal smoothly.
Note. After unsuccessful starts, if it is
necessary to press the accelerator pedal,
you can use the hand brake lever instead
of the brake pedal.
6. If the third start attempt is a fail-
ure, the reason is related with the
ambient temperature below minus
27 degrees C (the limit of cold start
possibility without the auxiliary units),
or the engine is faulty, or there is
some deviation from the recommen-
dations specified above.
ATTENTION!
To start driving by using the
starter is not allowed. Under nor-
mal conditions, start driving in the
first transmission gear.
Warning
Exhaust gases are toxic!
Therefore, the room where you
start and warm up the engine,
should be well ventilated.
Vehicle with the fuel injection
system. Operation features
The «Engine» alarm light indicator
flashing, when the engine is running,
signals about fault availability. But it
does not mean that the engine must
be stopped immediately – the con-
troller operates its back-up modes,
that allow the engine to operate
under close to normal conditions.
ATTENTION!
However, the cause of the fault
should be rectified at any certi-
fied SSNE as quickly as possible.
The engine with the fuel injection
system, equipped with the catalytic
converter and the oxygen sensor,
operates properly, if only natural
gasoline is used. In the short term of
time the leaded gasoline make these
elements a failure, the smoky
exhaust appears, the fuel consump-
tion increases rapidly and the vehicle
dynamics deteriorates.
ATTENTION!
The catalytic converter is an
expensive unit providing environ-
mental protection. The catalytic
converter can be damaged with
misfires in the engine cylinders
(external manifestations – the
engine conks and jerks when driv-
ing the vehicle), for the unburned
fuel in the cylinders will be ignited
in the catalytic converter and the
temperature will rise sharply, that
will cause damage to the catalytic
converter element. Electronic
engine control units have the
function of protecting the con-
verters against misfiring. When
misfires appear in one or two
cylinders the «Engine» alarm indi-
cator is switched in the flashing
mode; the fuel delivery is
switched off in the cylinders,
where the misfires were detect-
ed; then the «Engine» alarm flash-
es continuously until you stop
driving. When misfires occur, it is
necessary to take urgent meas-
ures to eliminate them.
