OPERATION 169
STARTING THE VEHICLE
General Information
Before putting the key in the ignition switch, set the parking (spring) brake,
disengage the clutch (if equipped) and put the transmission in NEUTRAL.
CAUTION
Do not engage the starting motor too soon after an incomplete start of the engine,
or the starter may be damaged. Wait at least five seconds before attempting to
restart the engine.
CAUTION
If the engine does not start immediately, limit cranking periods to 30 seconds to
avoid overheating and damaging the starter.
CAUTION
Do not rev the engine at start-up. Turbocharger damage may result because
lubricants need time to establish a film between moving parts.
Push Button Starters
Put the key in the ignition switch. Turn the key clockwise to the first "click"
(about two o’clock position) to activate the instruments. Depress the starter
button and release as soon as the engine starts. Keep the clutch (if equipped)
disengaged until the engine runs smoothly.
