STARTING A GASOLINE ENGINE
When you start the engine, the idle speed increases, this helps to warm
up the engine. If the engine idle speed does not slow down automatically,
have your vehicle checked by an authorized dealer.
Note:
You can crank the engine for a total of 60 seconds (without
the engine starting) before the starting system temporarily disables.
The 60 seconds does not have to be all at once. For example, if you
crank the engine three times for 20 seconds each time, without the
engine starting, you reached the 60-second time limit. A message
appears in the information display alerting you that you exceeded the
cranking time. You cannot attempt to start the engine for at least
15 minutes. After 15 minutes, you are limited to a 15-second engine
cranking time. You need to wait 60 minutes before you can crank the
engine for 60 seconds again.
